ITT: /int/ in 1863

all these would be destroyed in 40 years time mark my words

I hear there's some kind of a war going on back east, not that I would know anything about that in California. Feels good man.

My brother got bored and went off out there to enlist and find adventure. Not much going on out here in the Best Coast.

>yfw live in Georgia
No...no...NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

fucking frenchoids, only 50 years ago they almost destroyed europe. surely nothing will ever topple those putrid bastards!

>>213857073
Time to die, Cletus. At least your family farm is still safe and sound...until next year at least.

>>213856625 (OP)
Time to get myself a 12 year old wife.

Advance the flag of Dixie
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Dixie's Land we'll take our stand
To live and die for Dixie
To arms! To arms!
And conquer peace for Dixie
To arms! To arms!
And conquer peace for Dixie
Oh, hear the Northern thunders mutter
Northern flags in South winds flutter
To arms, to arms, to arms, in Dixie!
Send them back your fierce defiance
Stamp upon the cursed alliance
To arms, to arms, to arms, in Dixie!

>>213857367
yes but in a few years she will die when Finland gets hit by the late 1860s famine

Getting tired of the civil wars and unrest in the peninsula. I'm going to Cuba and I'll invest my life savings there. Hopefully I'll get enough return to have a good retirement in about 35 years.

>>213857432
Then I'll get another 12 year old wife.

Since January 20 I can pull this up on Youtube and no longer have to worry about going on a government watchlist, we're good now.

>>213856625 (OP)
Another economic collapse? Politicians screaming at each other while not fixing things around? Sure, whatever, I just hope the Spain of the future is better than this...

>>213857597
Yeah haha at least we still got Cuba and the Philippines eh? Haha

no pussy no fighting simple as

>>213857653
At this rate, we are losing them soon against the french, or even worse, the english...

>>213857755
we are not interested in cuba or puerto rico

>>213857789
That's good, yankee, we appreciate your non imperialistic view of things, unlike your forefathers...

IMy left leg and both of my brothers are buried under the soil of Virginia. I return to my home town a hapless cripple subsiding on such charity as generous folks will offer me.

>you live in Virginia

>>213857850
The spanish interest is safe in the Americas, we are not the same as the bloodthirsty colonial brits.

>>213857789
Ignore the Y*knee. After we have achieved our independence the islands shall make a fine new place for plantations.

>>213858087
i bet you are irish you catholic fiend

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY LEG JUST GOT BLOWN OFF AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH HEEEEELLLLPPPP

"Endlich bin ich in Amerika angekommen. Die Zukunft sieht in der Tat vielversprechend aus und..."

"Hey Heinrich, want your citizenship? You have to earn it first. Take this musket and get your rump out there to Tennessee now."

"Ah, scheiss."

>>213856625 (OP)
The idea California was built up and people lived there while the civil war was happening far away is kind of a neat aspect of US history I don't think about much

>>213858067
This a great relationship we will have in the future, I assure you. Spain never forgives grudges, even if takes 200 for us to get revenge, but we always reward those who do us good, and America is shaping up to become great friends of us.
>>213858087
Hope you lose the war.

>>213858087
As of this Fourth of July, the mighty Mississippi stands free and open from end to end. The defeat of your cause is but a matter of time, Cletus.

>>213858262
California was very rapidly settled during the Gold Rush and San Francisco transformed from an insignificant Spanish fishing village to a bustling metropolis almost overnight. At this time it is the largest city in the state not Los Angeles which won't really become a major city until the 20th century. The push for the trans-continental railroad was in part to establish a direct physical connection between the West Coast and the rest of the country and ward off any potential thoughts those states had of seceding.

Here is Portland, home to less than 10,000 people in the 1860s in one of the newest states in the union.

>>213856625 (OP)
i got a real bad feeling about these Prussian bro

>>213858331
SoCal (including most of the Hispanic population) was more pro-Confederate while NorCal was Unionist, and Henry Sibley's Confederate expedition from Texas in early 1862 was intended to reach California. However as the state government was based in Sacramento in the north there was no serious danger of the state seceding.

aggh, whoever thought being shot in the groin with a musket ball could be so painful?

>>213858435
>>213858331
California and Oregon recruited several volunteer regiments mainly for constabulary duties as regular army units were sent east. None of these regiments left their respective states, but quite a few Californians went east on their own volition to volunteer for both sides' armies.

>>213858470
Frogs making up threats again I see

>>213858470
What are you doing in Mexico, Jacques?

>>213858284
The Western boys, they talk a good game about having captured Vicksburg but they only fought a weak, half-starved Rebel army. Bobby Lee were he in Mississippi would have lifted the siege of the town and routed them out of the state.

This war was a mistake. Your brothers and sons have been sacrificed on the battlefield for the mania of a handful of race amalgamationists in the Republican Party! We demand peace at once!

Onward to Richmond! (this time I swear we really mean it)

>>213858948
I say Hooker looks as if he may actually do the job, he has done wonders to improve morale and get the boys proper food and bedding. They have also stopped deserting at a rate of 1,000 every week.

>>213858909
Damn Fritzes. We have enough of them in the army and they lose every battle they get into. Kindly take your countrymen back, we don't want them.

>>213859027
Ja ja sehr gut Herr American sir

>>213859027
The miserable Dutchmen failed us again in the great battle at the Chancellorsville clearing two weeks ago. But for those scoundrels we would already be in Richmond.

Apparently in Missouri and oh I have to go, my cavalry company sets out this afternoon for provost guard duty in Memphis. There is a haul of Rebel prisoners coming in tomorrow that have to be guarded.

>>213859258
Someone should really make it so all these Germans can live in the same country wouldn't that be neat haha

>>213859527
beware, there are reports that Forrest is coming up with Rebel cavalry to burn the supply depot there. don't let them get the drop on you.

I'm a solid Rhode Island man but by God do I hope that Lincoln sends all the niggers back to Liberia after the Rebels are defeated. No reason to keep them here.

just came back from Wagners latest show, it was pretty mid, I miss Mozart so much bros

The boys in the 12th Illinois were not pleased to learn of this Emancipation Proclamation. We enlisted to save the union, not liberate Negros!

He died 72 years ago unless you are a very elderly man I doubt you could have attended one of his concerts.

>>213859751
his music is written down faggot it's played regularly to this day

Not sure about date but its late 1800s

>>213859662
We found these rifles of yours highly unsatisfactory, half the ones we purchased were used in the war with France several years ago and are beaten up and fit only for scrap. The rest can't hit the side of a barn (surely that has nothing to do with the fact that we don't have the correct ammo type for them).

>>213859810
here you go

I have nothing left. The Yankees took my pigs and chickens, took my furniture, took my wife's jewelry, our colored servant ran off and declared himself free the moment they showed up, our only son was killed in the fighting around Richmond last summer.

>>213860099
Good. Thus always to traitors.

>>213860099
Our cause may as yet succeed should the Democrats regain the Northern presidency next year. If the Republican race amalgamationists are returned to power, alas I believe we are doomed. The Congressional elections last fall went against the Republicans so it seems a promising sign.

>>213859810
Mozart is a snoozefest compared to Bach

>>213860118
I bet you're a loathsome foreign Mick right off the boat. You're probably C*tholic too

God help me I cannot saw off another mangled limb yet the pitiful creatures keep coming begging me to remove their wounded arm or leg before gangrene sets in.

>>213860379
He's probably a kraut; they all rally to the abolitionist banner like flies to manure.

>>213860380
Let them die. They serve King Nigger, and his tyrant "Republicans"

im going to America and i am going to be rich

Just heard Abraham Lincoln speak. He has a Southern accent. Wtf bros?

*steps off the boat in Manhattan*
*recruiting agent is waiting at the end of the gangplank to hand him a musket*

They don't think it be like it is but it do.

I would start are brewery if I lived in the 1800s

The colonial government ain't doing shit. Fucking Friar molested/raped another girl today, tried report but they ain't doing shit.

>>213860507
At Gettysburg, no? What a horror to befall that poor town. The locals told me it was not until September when the fetid smell of decomposing bodies at last dissipated from around there.

>>213860620
>re
Didn't mean this

>>213860494
We've too many godforsaken Krauts already. Fuck off or we'll kill you.

Feller up'a'holler done got hunged by the secesh last week. Heared that rebs bolloxed up the fight up in pensuhvanie. Hope the war ends soon. Kentucky has suffered enough. Half of us are secesh and half of us are union men.

>>213860669
nobody's going to turn down moar bullet sponges and we have a seemingly infinite supply of replacement bodies coming over from Europe every month while Johnny doesn't. Each of their boys we shoot can't be replaced.

>>213860701
>Heared that rebs bolloxed up the fight up in pensuhvanie
We licked 'em twice now when they tried to come up north, but only the Almighty himself knows if this army will ever win a fight in Virginia.

>>213860804
You numbskull, every foreigner we bring over who doesn't die fighting Jim Davis will be a plague upon our houses until the Second Coming. The Democrats will win this war, one way or another.

>>213860701
that's nothing compared to what's going down in Missouri. Every week down here some feller gets hanged from a tree or shot by guerillas. My neighbor had his house set on fire last week because his son is serving in Grant's army down in Mississippi. Hopefully we catch and shoot the varmits who did this.

The Lakota Sioux are raiding in Minnesota again, we need to sent the US Cavalry to teach them a lesson.

Why does the Eastern army need to change generals after every battle it fights? They had just gotten rid of Hooker a few days before the great battle in Pennsylvania. Their leadership is truly appalling compared to what we are used to in the West.

how many months has the Navy been bombarding Charleston now? and we still can't break our way in there.

>>213861379
A strategically unimportant city the administration mostly wants for symbolic value as it was where the war started.

>>213861379
Naval duty is relaxed and carefree. Good food and little to do but sit on a ship for weeks at a time anchored outside Southern ports. I pity the fellers marching in the mud and rain and having to be shot at constantly.

>>213860636
Philippines? I haven't a clue where that is, I assume it's somewhere near South America. My cousin is in the merchant marine, perhaps I will ask him when he returns from his current voyage down there. If he doesn't die of yellow fever anyway.

AND WE'LL RALLY 'ROUND THE FLAG BOYS, YES WE'LL RALLY 'ROUND THE FLAG
SINGING THE BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM

The army provost guard rounded up and expelled all the camp prostitutes who followed us down from Nashville. No fun allowed.jpg

>>213861842
Get assigned to Hooker. I hear he doesn't do that.

>>213860476
our only hope for peace is to return a Democrat administration to office next year

>but what if the rebs lose at Gettysburg?
they won't
>but what if Lincoln gets killed?
he won't

Bloody cold are after me for grabbing this cunts sheep
