Bab 313: Chapter 62, Global Cruising

It must be said that the Colonial Department chose an opportune time, as the Anglo-American conflict over Central America could stretch back ten years, with mutual restraints and backstabbings ensuring neither side gained an advantage.

To fully suppress the Indian rebellion, the British conducted a limited strategic contraction overseas. In 1859, the London Government made concessions, relinquishing its sphere of influence in the Central American region.

The radicals from the American South had planned to incorporate the Central American region as slave states into the nation, but this was opposed by the industrialists from the North.

The North-South divide must be traced back to the Mexican-American War, as it was the acquisition of vast lands from Mexico that ignited the conflict between the North and the South.

The Southern plantation owners wanted these regions to become Slave States, while the Northern industrialists demanded they become Free States.
