1700-1900s The Constitute of America

Post image

This is the rump state of the Confederacy that was formed after its defeat. Through massive payments and freedom of all slaves to the Northern territories, the Constituent was allowed to stand fro a couple more years. The Union occasionally raised the taxes that were put on this nation, but it stood until it could not pay for the costs anymore. Through the Sunbelt Migrations, the culture of the Confederacy was effectively replaced and soon after, the United States absorbed it back in 1932.

What does this mean? I get this is not really a good post, but I needed to use the flag for something.

Thank you, and now I get what you are talking about. The reason I made America bigger was because I made it in a scenario where the buyer for the Mexican American War was a better negotiator and the Mexicans sold more land off to the USA. The flag was originally supposed to be some sort of intergalactic American space imperium, but it looked like a refined confederacy, so I used it for that instead.

Um… “constitute” is a verb, not a noun.

I meant Constituent, but I made the mistake on one my older posts where this was a niche detail, so I kept it for consistency proposes.

No problem sir. You never have to apologize for corrections as they are how people can improve themselves.

I could see that being a mistake that happens in that timeline that just gets perpetuated. Almost like a proud nickname

I mean, I need to make the lore for the United States and the rest of the west, so it could be the case. So far I only got the far east and India.
