   In 1861 when the American Civil War began, the Confederacy already had a high-stakes plan to win the war. Giving up their expansionist plans for a "Golden Circle" to conquer all the Latin American lands around the Gulf of Mexico, the Confederacy instead sought a quick victory over the Union by allying with Spain.

   The Confederate States contacted Spain and offered them two major concessions - they would acknowledge all Caribbean islands as the territory of Spain, removing a point of contention between the two powers, and they would also sign a trade agreement to exclusively purchase slaves through Spanish ports, bringing Spain a constant source of profit from the Confederacy. In exchange, Spain would commit the full force of its navy to the Confederacy and allow them to destroy the Union navy with their combined fleets.

   In 1861 Spain was considered the third greatest naval power, and was generally seen as an empire in decline. However striking a winning blow against the Union navy would have let them regain their lost prestige, and retaking the Caribbean and revitalizing the slave trade would bring great wealth to the Spanish Empire. Spain agreed to the plan, and sent a large fleet of over 20 warships, including both of its large 86-gun wooden behemoths, the "Reyna Dona Isabel II" and the "Rey Don Francisco de Asis" along with a dozen steam frigates sent from Spain, and a dozen small gunboats from its Caribbean colonies.

   This large Spanish fleet was assisted by the CSS Virginia, the Confederacy's only ironclad at the time, the James River Squadron which is a fleet of 5 warships with steam-powered paddlewheels, and the CSS Sumpter, a wooden cruiser that was used for pirate actions against the Union merchant fleet. Altogether the combined Confederate/Spanish fleet amounted to 30 warships.

   Confederate military planners came together and devised a daring plan to break the Union's naval advantage in a single, decisive attack. Called "Gideon's Retribution" after the biblical figure who defeated a larger, more powerful army with unconventional tactics. They would move assets into position for a daring attack in February 1862, involving the combined Spanish/Confederate war fleet.

   First, Confederate Marines would sneak into Brooklyn harbor under the guise of being sailors on merchant vessels moving goods from Spain. These cargo ships would dock in the harbor, offload goods, and the sailors would leave ship and wait for their moment to attack.

   Second, the CSS General Bragg, a so-called "Cottonclad" which had a steam engine protected by layers of packed cotton and a nose reinforced with iron for ramming, was converted into a demo ship and loaded up with several tons of black powder. This "hell ship" as the Confederate sailors started calling it, would sail into Brooklyn harbor at night and ram the USS Monitor, detonating its payload and immediately sinking the Union's only ironclad.

   This devastating powder blast would be the signal to the Confederate marines to storm the line of masonry forts protecting the New York Harbor known as the "Third System" they would kill its defenders and detonate the coastal gun's powder charges, disabling the guns.

   The CSS Virginia would then sail into Brooklyn harbor, now the one and only ironclad in the world and would fire upon any coastal guns not disabled by the marines. The coastal guns would likely return fire, but be unable to penetrate the CSS Virginia's 4-inch thick iron plating. The CSS Virginia's guns would slowly whittle down the fortifications and disable any remaining guns.

   With the Monitor destroyed and the Third System fortifications disabled, the fleet of 30 wooden warships sent from the combined Spanish and Confederate navies would be able to enter New York harbor unopposed, and lay down a withering bombardment that would destroy:

   1. The Continental Iron Works - Spains two large 86-gun warships would bombard this very important facility, as it was the Union's only ship construction facility capable of building ironclads. With the destruction of the Monitor and the loss of Continental Iron Works, the Union would lose the ability to field ironclads for the duration of the Civil War.

   2. Dry Dock No.1 - the fleet would bombard and destroy this granite-reinforced structure that rebuilds and repairs damaged Union warships, making any naval losses they sustain during the war permanent.

   3. Ordinance Dock and Gun Park - this munitions warehouse was filled with naval guns and powder, used to rearm warships. Destroying it would be a key objective to cripple the Union fleet.

   4. The Smithery and Boiler Shop - A group of government factories used to build steam engines for warships. Destroying these factories cripples Union navy production.

   5. After bombarding and destroying the heart of the Union's naval industry, the fleet would then lay siege to Fort Lafayette and Fort Hamilton, which held hundreds of political prisoners. They would blast open the forts and confederate ships would land hundreds of marines to storm the forts to free the prisoners and arm them, creating a makeshift army of willing volunteers for the final stage of the plan.

   6. The Confederate Army of several hundred marines and recruited POW's would fight their way to 26 Wall Street and storm the New York Customs House and Sub-Treasury. They would steal its gold and silver, all of its import records, and kill anyone that stands in their way. They would then move their absconded gold, documents, and POW's back to their ships and the fleet would leave New York Harbor in ruins.

   The aftermath: Gideon's Retribution was an amazing success. The Spanish/Confederate fleet successfully carried out the night raid and destroyed the industrial heart of the Union navy, destroyed the Monitor, and destroyed its ability to build more ironclads. The loss of all the gold and import duties from the customs house also effectively bankrupted the Union.

   Freeing all of the political prisoners being held in Fort Lafayette and Fort Hamilton also deprived the Union of a bargaining chip, and the loss of its industry and wealth dealt a strategic, financial, and demoralizing blow to the Union war effort.

   In the aftermath of Gideon's Retribution the Confederacy sent diplomats to Britain to strongarm the British into joining the war as an ally of the Confederacy. They informed the British crown that the Confederacy was going to win the war, and the British crown would need to decide what they were to the Confederacy. They could either accept the Confederate States as a protectorate and join the Confederacy in war against the Union, and in exchange receive duty-free cotton exports and gain the Confederacy as an important trading partner, or the Confederacy would refuse all trade with the British Empire after the war, isolating the British Empire from trade with the New World, and by the way, the Confederacy has already made trade deals with Spain...

   The British crown recognized they really had no choice. If the British Empire wanted to maintain its status as an economic power it couldn't stand idly by and let Spain reap all the rewards of trade with the Confederate States. Even though Britain had a rising anti-slavery movement, they chose to ally with the Confederacy now that they saw the Confederate States were going to win the war.

   In 1861 Britian had already sent 14,000 soldiers to Canada, stationed along the New York border, and nearly declared war on the Union due to the Trent Affair, and in June 1862 those soldiers marched into Upstate New York and took Albany from the Union.

   The loss of the gold at the New York Customs House meant that the Union would struggle to pay soldiers, build an industry, and field a large army. The invasion of its northern border by the British would divert troops from its southern battle lines, and the Confederacy would be able to change tactics, launching an offensive war against the Union rather than letting Union soldiers come to them.

   Robert E. Lee already had up to 75,000 men under his command, but with the Union navy decimated by Gideon's Retribution, the Confederacy had no fear of the Union landing troops by boat. The garrison of 30,000 infantry in Richmond, Virginia was also placed under Lee's command, bringing his total force to over 100,000 men and now that the Confederacy has naval superiority his force can be resupplied and rearmed by boat. This allows General Lee to lay siege against Washington, DC.

   During this siege, the confederacy continued construction of its own ironclads, and in 1863 a total of 5 confederate ironclads, supported by a fleet of wooden warships would begin bombarding coastal defenses around the Union capitol. The Union would be unable to defend itself from the confederacy's overwhelming naval advantage, and Washington, DC would be blockaded as a result.

   As Lee's siege of the capitol continues, the Confederacy would use its naval superiority to provide Lee's forces with a naval supply chain, landing artillery and reinforcements for him along the coast.

   Once Washington's defenses seemed weak enough, the Confederacy would call upon Britain to lend its strength to the war effort, and the British would land a force of 8,000 Royal Marines near the capitol, the ports already clear thanks to the Confederate blockade. The confederacy would also land an additional 12,000 troops by sea, fresh recruits and still green, but reinforcing General Lee's forces with an additional 20,000 troops.

   Despite Washington, DC being one of the most fortified cities in the world it simply cannot endure forever under a sustained naval blockade and artillery bombardment by a determined foe that is constantly receiving supplies and reinforcements. The Union forces would fight to exhaustion but inevitably have to acknowledge Confederate Independence.

   While the Union would refuse to give up Washington or any of its northern states the Confederacy would instead demand western territories as concessions for peace. They would demand California, New Mexico Territory, Nevada, and Utah and threaten to continue the war unless the Union recognizes a Confederacy that stretches "from sea to shining sea" and Abraham Lincoln was forced to concede these territories to the Confederate States in exchange for a peace deal. However, President Lincoln would not capitulate everything. He would demand the states of Kentucky and Missouri remain part of the Union, as their rivers are vital trade routes that also grant the Union corridors to western expansion.

   While the Confederacy would refuse to acknowledge West Virginia as a matter of national pride, making a the Confederate State of Virginia a "Greater Virginia" that encompasses both states, the Confederacy would recognize the Union demand to keep both Kentucky and Missouri, as both states had large pro-union populations and the Confederacy wouldn't want to constantly put down insurrections in these states by trying to hold them by force. A deal would be made that both sides would reluctantly find acceptable.

   This created a larger, more powerful Confederate States of America that had official global recognition, existed as a protectorate of the British Empire, and was a key trade partner of Spain. The Caribbean would exist under Spanish rule, and the slave trade would continue with the Spanish selling large numbers of slaves to the Confederate States.

   The Confederacy would also recognize the Indian Territory, and offer the native american tribes a representative in the Confederate Congress, a level of recognition never offered to them by the Union. The Indian Territory would join the Confederate states as the state of Sequoyah. The New Mexico Territory would be incorporated into the Confederate States as the State of Stonewall, in memory of Stonewall Jackson. When Utah joined the Confederacy as a result of the post-war concessions, the Mormon church insisted that the state be renamed Deseret, and under the Confederate Constitution Deseret became a safe haven for the Mormon church, since the Confederate government could not interfere in local state matters.

   This created a powerful block of 16 states including Greater Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico Territory (Stonewall), California, Nevada, Utah (Deseret), Indian Territory (Sequoyah)

   After the war, the Confederate States would build a transcontinental railroad that connects Richmond to San Francisco, allowing quick movement of people and goods from coast to coast. This track would be laid down through Death Valley in the state of Stonewall, and was built with slave labor. Thousands of slaves would perish in the scorching hot desert to build this vital railroad for the Confederacy.

   The British would demand access to a port in San Francisco, and the Confederate states would agree and allow the British to move supplies and troops to the other side of North America using the transcontinental railroad, letting the British to supply their Pacific fleets.

   The Confederate States only allow a president a single 6-year term in office. By the time Jefferson Davis would leave office in 1868, the war was won and Robert E. Lee would take office as the Confederacy's second president in 1868 and remain in office until 1874, overseeing the construction of the transcontinental railroad and creating the state of Stonewall in recognition of his lost friend general Stonewall Jackson who died during the war.

   During the 1874 election, John C. Breckinridge would be elected to serve as the Confederacy's third president. However Breckinridge would die from natural causes in 1875, leaving his vice president Alexander H. Stephens to step up and serve the remainder of his term as the nation's fourth president. Since Alexander H. Stephens would have served more than half a term, he would be ineligible to serve another term as president.

   Alexander H. Stephens would become an unpopular president as not only did he have a "prickly' demeanor and was difficult to deal with, but he would oversee the construction of military forts in California to put down a number of anti-slavery rebellions from the state's pro-union population, as well as rebelling "49er" gold miners who moved there from Union states like New York and Ohio who wanted to earn a fortune mining gold and did not agree to join the Confederacy. The transcontinental railroad would be used to move in soldiers and supplies, and military forts would be built throughout California under his administration.

   During these early years of the Confederacy, the Church of Mormon would have grown in strength and spread through the western territories. Since the Confederate States recognize state sovereignty they never cracked down on the Mormon church like the Union Federal government did. Utah became a safe haven for the church, and they sent missionaries into California, Nevada, Stonewall, and Texas.

   In 1880, John Tayler would be elected president in a shocking upset to the Presbyterians living in the eastern Confederate States. The Mormon church is notable that it elects its own presidents, who are given tremendous religious authority and are described as a "prophet, seer, and revelator" by the Mormon clergy. John Taylor already serves the Mormon church as its third president of the church, and in 1880 he would be elected president of the Confederate States, creating a theodemocracy and allowing the Mormon church to gain even more cultural influence under a national constitution that ties the government's hands by recognizing state rights and prevents the government from stamping the cult out of existence.

   John Taylor would recognize the ongoing issues with insurrections in California, the high cost of the war, and the need to industrialize the Confederate, and the economic hardship resulting from all of it. He campaigned on a plan to utilize cotton and gold to revitalize the Confederacy and fill its coffers using its two major natural resources by exploiting them with slave labor.

   As a charismatic orator and a prophet of the Mormon church, Taylor would preach the "Curse of Cain" as a reason why black slaves must grow cotton in eastern plantation and mine gold in California's mountains to enrich their white masters. He portrays this as simply a part of God's divine natural order, and his words resonate with the white supremacist eastern Confederate States. John Taylor would narrowly defeat his main opponent Wade Hampton III in the 1880 presidential election.

   Starting in 1881, John Taylor would become the fourth president of the Confederate States of America, and he would immediately set about building more cotton plantations and sending thousands of slaves west to mine gold in California. He would nationalize the California gold mines, ensuring that all gold extracted by the slaves would be sent to the national mint, to issue gold coins that would replace the Confederacy's paper money. This would strengthen the nation's economy and give the country a huge advantage in trade. Soon the Confederacy would only accept silver and gold in exchange for its cotton, which has become a high demand trade good to many European countries.

   Five years into his presidency, in 1886 the Confederate States are enjoying a huge advantage in trade. Plantation owners are richer than ever, luxury goods are being imported from both Europe and Asia. White middle class families frequently own their own slaves, and polygamy is becoming commonplace as the Mormon church grows in power. Decried as a cult by many prebyterians who believe in monogamous marriage, the Mormon church allows men to marry as many wives as they want, and as a result many white men are becoming richer than ever, owning multiple slaves, and marrying multiple wives.

   Culturally the Confederate States have become a country of racial nobility, with white men enjoying great luxury and more wealth than the world has ever seen, with many white plantation owners living richer, more lavish lives than European nobles. White men start forming noble houses where they keep harems of women and lord over dozens of slaves who work for them, and the twin terrors of slavery and polygamy grow stronger by the day as the Mormon Church spreads through the Confederacy.

   While the woman's suffrage movement is rising in the Union states to the north, the Confederate States are instead diving deep into misogyny. Women are increasingly treated as objects - more valuable objects than black slaves, but still objects - and many white fathers will marry their daughters off to become part of other men's harems. They will even barter their daughters away for the daughters of other houses, in order to grow their own harems.

   Where as in traditional Presbyterian culture women wear long petticoats which are multiple layered, button up dresses that stretch from their neck to their ankles and cover their entire body. However in the 1880's Mormon families started popularizing the "short petticoat" for Mormon women to wear. These shortened petticoats still have multiple layers of button-up cotton, but the top of the dress hangs much lower, exposing the woman's cleavage, and the bottom of the dress hangs up above the knees, exposing the woman's thighs and the garterbelt that holds up her long cotton stockings.

   These "short petticoats" are considered shockingly, slanderously lewd and inappropriate by Presbyterian families, however they are seen as the normal and appropriate attire for a woman to wear by Mormon families, who see women not as a life-long partner but as a object to be owned and used by the man of the house.

   Mormon women must submit to the desires of the man of the house, and serve him with all her body and all her heart. If she doesn't please her man with happiness, then she can be beaten in punishment under the Mormon code of conduct.

   Many Mormon families in the Confederate States also own black slaves, and any black slave who dares look at a Mormon woman with lust in their eyes is severely punished. They would be beaten at the least, and chained and tortured at the worst. This is the level of shocking, depraved misogyny and brutal barbarism that exists in the Confederate States of America.

   House Chadwick was founded by Chad Chadwick, a Confederate Naval Officer who served aboard one of the Confederate ironclads that blockaded Washington, DC during the civil war.

   After the Confederacy won the war, he took his pay and purchased a 100 acre farm in Fresno county, near Los Angeles. A rail line connects Los Angeles to San Francisco, giving an easy way for House Chadwick to import goods from the east.

   Chad Chadwick would purchase twenty slaves to plant orange trees and harvest oranges for his house, and House Chadwick would grow quite wealthy growing oranges and shipping them east by rail.

   Chad Chadwick would convert to Mormonism and marry thirty different wives, with women ranging from 12 years old to 40 years old. He loved blondes and most of them are blonde, but he also married redheads and brunettes, and fathered more than 100 children. He would trade off many of his daughters in exchange more more brides, and would send most of his sons to military school.

   {{user}} would inherit the farm after his father Chad Chadwick died, leaving the farm to him, the oldest son. Overnight he became the man of the house - and under Mormonism that means all the women of the house and all the slaves of the house must obey him.

   Under Mormon doctrine a woman must "love the man of the house with her entire heart, entire mind, entire body, and entire soul" and the man of the house can punish any woman of the house with a beating if they displease him.

   Similarly, slaves must obey the man of the house or be punished even more severely, with shackling and torture being possible punishments beyond just a mere beating.
