Washington, the political capital of the United States, which symbolized the independence of the United States, was reduced to a border city after the Civil War, but the stubborn government of the United States moved the capital back after the war.

Today, the traces of war are long gone. Only in the artificially preserved history museum can you see the wounds left by the war.

Originally, it was intended to make the people of the United States brave and strive for the unity of the United States. However, as the times changed, the nature of these artifacts also changed and became an important part of the anti-war wave.

There is no way, as a country composed of immigrants from all over the world, everyone really does not have a strong understanding of the concept of "unification".

Irish immigrants and English immigrants will never be able to pee in the same gourd, and Italian immigrants and French immigrants continue to perpetuate hatred and discrimination between whites and people of color......

The cause of the European world is the bitter fruit of the United States. Too many ethnic contradictions are intertwined, and internal problems have always plagued the nascent country.

In fact, the same is true of the original plane. In later generations, many people thought that the Americans were very "reluctant", and they had a strong national strength, but they endured it until after World War II.

As everyone knows, the real United States is far less powerful than they imagined. The weakness of the central government, ethnic contradictions, and the unlimited power of the states are all problems facing the nascent state.

The internal friction that continues every day consumes too much energy in this country. From the beginning of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, successive U.S. administrations worked hard to eliminate internal friction.

Eventually, over time, immigrants got to know each other better, interracial marriages increased, and divisions within the white race were eased, and the country became truly powerful.

This self-integration of the original time and space has lasted for hundreds of years, let alone now.

With the independence of the South, the central government of the United States was directly disgraced, and its control over the states became weaker.

When immigrants to a country, the people's sense of belonging to the country is already low. Ordinary people care more about their own quality of life than about reuniting the South.

Secession is not entirely without benefits, and there is also a wave of vested interests, such as a few grain-producing states in the Central Plains, who do not want the South to come back and compete with them for markets.

Also uninterested in reunification are the western states. Because it does not involve self-interest, many people have a cold attitude towards reunification or not.

To put it simply, there is no problem in unifying the South, but it is not possible to ask them to join the army and go to the battlefield.

This kind of sign was manifested during the Civil War. Many states, whose interests are not of much interest, openly resist the central government's conscription.

Of course, the interference of the great powers was also an important factor. Your own safety is threatened, and even if you support it, you must think twice.

What really wants to reunify the north and the south is actually the eastern states where capital consortia are gathered. Although the capitalists have sufficient motivation to support reunification, it is not enough to let them go to the battlefield and fight hard.

In this regard, Jewish capital set an example for the American bourgeoisie: "They have everything but the state".

Ordinary people did not want to fight, and those who wanted to fight did not want to go to war, and it was inevitable that the road to the unification of the United States would be frustrated.

Against this backdrop, it is not surprising that the anti-war wave has become the mainstream of society. After all, the capitalists who support unification by force are only a very small minority of the entire population.

For all this, as President Grover Cleveland, who is keen to promote national unity, he is "in the eyes and anxious in his heart", but he is powerless.

In fact, Grover Cleveland was not the first president to want to reunify the South after the Civil War. Before that, there have been many attempts by predecessors, but unfortunately they all ended in tragedy.

His predecessors, in particular, coincided with the outbreak of the European War, a period when European countries were at their least capable of interfering in the Americas.

If the South is to be unified by force, it is the best opportunity at that time. The countries of the European continent were busy pking with the French, and Britain was left behind.

It is impossible for a single country, the London government to participate in the Civil War, after all, it is the long-term national policy of the British to put Europe before the United States.

Regrettably, there was a fierce quarrel within the United States over whether or not to initiate unification by force.

From the Congressional administration to the general public, fierce conflicts have erupted over this issue.

Many state governments in the United States have publicly stated that they will not send troops to participate in the new Civil War, so that the predecessors who proposed the unification plan will not be able to step down.

Without waiting for a reunification within the United States, the European War ended first. Once the opportunity is missed, it will not be repeated.

The Confederate states of the South are not soft persimmons, and it can be said that the existence of the American world is second only to the United States. Although the gap between the two sides in terms of comprehensive national strength is more than doubled, the gap has been narrowed infinitely in terms of military strength.

If European countries intervene again, these disparities will no longer be disparities, but may become an advantage.

You know, the European powers often warn them about the unification of the South by force. Even after the establishment of the European Continental Alliance, they did not forget to send people to remind them to keep to themselves.

If you want to break the stability of the Americas, a combination of great powers is indispensable. When the time comes, don't say that the south will be unified, and even the north will have to be divided again.

Specifically, you can refer to the "partition occupation plan" proposed by the European powers during the intervention of the Civil War.

To put it simply, Britain, France, Austria and Spain took the lead in uniting European countries to send troops to dismember the United States, and then implement partition occupation.

Of course, this is just a form of intimidation. If you really let the troops be dispatched, I guess everyone will have to think rationally about whether it is worth it.

However, this method of intimidation is still very deterrent to Americans who have not seen the market.

With his predecessor out of office, President Grover Cleveland is naturally not going to do it all over again.

In order to achieve national unity, Grover-Cleveland decided to adopt a roundabout strategy, namely: to provoke contradictions between the major European powers and create an international basis for unification.

It was against this background that the Cuban independence movement broke out.

As the mastermind behind the scenes, Grover Cleveland only smuggled a few batches of arms over, and let Britain and Spain directly confront each other; By the way, between Spain and the HRE, a seed of doubt was sown. It can be said that it has been very successful.

Unfortunately, Spain is in decline after all, which greatly reduces this plan.
