![]() Secession is determined by what states join the radicalized movements for preserving slavery or banning slavery, which means the strength of the secessionist government will vary depending on which IGs align themselves with the radicalized movement prior to the outbreak of revolution. ![]() If the Slavery Debate Journal Entry is active when a revolution over slavery erupts, the revolutionary government will turn into a secessionist government. This is where we've decided to engage with our own revolution mechanics in order to create a more dynamic American Civil War. Florida simply didn't have enough pro-slavery supporters here to join the pre-war movement that formed the basis of the CSA. Triggering the Civil War early caused a slightly different set of states to secede. Of course, not banning slavery may also lead to a movement emerging explicitly agitating for the abolition of slavery, and that has its own set of challenges. The most straightforward way to end the debate over slavery may be to just end it, but this carries enormous risks - political movements may emerge in reaction to the potential passage of these laws. Newspaper debates will turn into arguments on the floor of the Senate, then those arguments will turn into canings, and people will stop campaigning with pamphlets and start campaigning with paramilitaries.Īttempts to ban slavery are more likely to create a reactionary movement in the United States. Early events may talk about a single senator's words, or a single death in a city, but as the issue festers, things will just get worse and worse until something gives way. Iowa has become the front line in the fight over slavery, and will be struck with unrest regardless of the choice picked.Īs tensions rise, violence will rise, and events will become more and more polarizing. Some events will ratchet up tensions regardless of whatever option is chosen the main difference in choices is determining who will become more mad and who will be more mollified by ensuing government actions. At this point on the national level, all the United States can try to do is balance the pressures of abolitionists and pro-slavery advocates, and either limit escalation or come down firmly on the side of one camp or another.Įven a policy of appeasement and reconciliation will not stop rising tensions entirely. In the first years of the game, and historically, the 1830s were already rife with national debate over the issue of slavery, although violence was only just beginning to escalate. ![]() The United States of America begins the game with a Journal Entry already underway. Victoria 3 uses this approach as its basis for the American Civil War.Īntebellum America's unrest is centered around slavery. This interpretation of history is built on solid foundations with ample evidence. After the war, rhetoric shifted as the Lost Cause myth developed, but before and during the war slavery was declared as a central element in the rebellion time and time again. The institution of slavery was singled out time and time again by the people seceding from the Union in their reasons for secession, during their debates over secession, and then throughout the Civil War itself. The authors of secession did not dance around this point. Let's get something established first before we dive into the game: Slavery is central to the Civil War. The efforts and failures of Reconstruction resulted in Jim Crow laws and the promise of racial equality becoming a generations-long struggle that has carried on well past the end of the Victorian era. After the surrender of the CSA, the Union reincorporated the states of the former Confederacy and initiated an era generally known as Reconstruction, a period of ambition, domestic unrest, and, ultimately, a failure to complete some of the most significant social reforms instigated in the wake of the CSA's defeat. The Union and the Confederacy fought for four years, to 1865. ![]() In 1861, several states voted to secede from the Union, and established the Confederate States of America. Turmoil had been building under the surface of the United States for decades prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, with tension growing increasingly violent particularly in the 1850s. Hello folks, welcome to another dev diary for Victoria 3! This week we're going to talk about the American Civil War, a dark period in the history of the United States. ![]()
