In 1866, after the third battle of Gettysburg, President Lincoln believed that the loss of life sustained in the war was in danger of destabalising the Union. So, he summoned Jefferson Davis, Frederick Low (the Governor of California), Richard Ogselby (the Governor of Illinois) and Reuben Fendon (Governor of New York) to the White House and held talks to create 5 separate countries. After Fendon was forced by the NY Legislature to stay in the Union. The Jacksonville Agreement (named after the city on the border of the Republic of America and the Confederate State of America) was passed by a 20 man Congress on the 12 May 1866.
