American Civil War

The American Civil War was a large scale conflict which occurred during the Great META War from 159 to 155 B.B.

The American Civil War was a division between two factions; the Union, which sought to remain aligned with the Board of Waifuria, and the Confederate States of America, which sought to join Ohio in the Combine Alliance.

The Battle of Fort Sumter

On April 3, 159 B.B, the Civil War began with the bombardment of Fort Sumter near Charleston, South Carolina by the South Carolina militia. It ended with surrender by the United States Army, beginning the American Civil War.

South Carolina soon seceded from the Union, a move which Union President Abraham Lincoln declared treasonous. Lincoln declared war on South Carolina, and later, the Confederate States of America.

South Carolina brought many of the southern territories of the United States with it, and began forming diplomatic ties with Ohio. Ohio’s Combine Puppet government supplied the Confederates with Combine munitions and several battalions of Combine infantrymen, although the Confederates were mainly comprised of human soldiers. In exchange, the Confederates allowed the Combine to choose the leader of their new country.

The Combine selected Virginian Human-turned-stalker-turned-military-genius Jefferson Davis to lead the Confederate States of America.

A Tale of Two Cities

The two warring factions had their capitals mere miles away from each other, with the Confederate Capital, Richmond, being across the Delaware River from the U.S. Capital, Washington D.C. A Combine suppression field was deployed over this stretch of the Delaware River, successfully deterring most soldiers from crossing the distance between the cities.

The Battle of New York

In 159 BB, mere weeks after the official secession of the Confederacy from the United States and Abraham Lincoln's subsequent declaration of war, a squadron of elite Ohio Legion mercenaries invaded the streets of New York, headed for Wall Street. MTO footsoldiers, aligned with the battalion of General Ulysses S. Grant, had been stationed on either side of the Street of Walls. The Ohio Legion hadn't expected this, and were caught off guard in their plot. The Ohio mercenaries were arrested and tried for treason

The Advisors

The Combine Advisors, watching from afar, were unreasonably enraged at this development. They ordered the immediate orbital bombardment and decimation of New York City. When the orders from the Skeld were delivered to Jefferson Davis, he refused. He stated that destroying an enemy city in this manner would be classified as a war crime. The Combine was unaware what 'war crime' meant, even after several explanations.

Jefferson Davis, seeking a compromise, promised to personally invade New York City, with an army 100,000 strong. The Advisors were satisfied with this, and began making preparations to deliver the necessary troops to Richmond.

The Floor is Lava

Several weeks later, the Confederate armies arrived in the Bronx. The Union armies, having watched the approach from afar, had stationed themselves in strategic positions across the roofs of the city's many high rises. The Confederate Army, (consisting of roughly 10,000 humans and 90,000 Combine soldiers), began shooting wildly up at the city skyline, at random. General Grant, seeing an opportunity, deployed the Great American Lava Bucket off of the Empire State Building. This badly burned and incinerated approximately 14,000 confederate troops. Those who remained retreated to Long Island.

The Neutron Bomb

The United States had been developing a horrid invention for some time at that point; the CIA referred to it as "Project Neutrino". This had been highly classified for over 40 years. As it happened, the project was just nearing completion, and Ulysses S. Grant, an esteemed military commander in his day, was the first officer to be given permission to use this weapon. This weapon, dear reader, was a neutron bomb.

They were deployed by the dozen over Long Island, killing thousands of Confederate troops each minute. Jefferson Davis took several of him men and jumped into an Ironclad boat, headed off towards Richmond to recoup their losses.

Approximately sixteen miles away, a Georgian submarine was performing routine surveillance of the coastline, when it was suddenly struck by a Union neutron bomb and decimated. This ended Georgian neutrality in the civil war, with them declaring war on the Union and marked the beginning of the reintegration of West Georgia into the United States.

Board of Waifuria Annexation

The Board of Waifuria, being based in the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee, was entirely engulfed by the Confederacy. The Board Chairman, Jamie Holster, was beheaded at the top of the Pyramid, and his death was made an example to the Union-loyal residents of Memphis Tennessee.

The Bass Pro Shop Pyramid was converted into a military stronghold and manufacture facility. Ironclad ships were built in the bowels of the pyramid,
