The 124 states of America

12. Correction: those were before the Civil War.

Southerners invaded Cuba twice before the Civil War. Second time the Spanish killed one of every ten captives. After that they turned to attempts to purchase Cuba or convince the United States to conquer Cuba for them.

Also before the Civil War, they succeeded in conquering Baja California. They then used Baja as a base for invading Sonoma which resulted in them losing both Baja and Sonoma.

Then there was Guatemala. They assisted one side in a civil war. After the war they asked for all the Black citizens to be their slaves in payment. The new government refused prompting them to take control of the country themselves. When they stated rounding up Blacks and collaring them, all the neighboring countries rushed in to restore the original government. The southerners re-invaded Guatemala a second time. As with Cuba, they lost and large numbers of them were executed to put a stop to the invasions.


I believe the federal government only took two anti-slave positions prior to the Civil War: prohibited slavery in federal territories and partook in the African slave embargo. A breeding slave is not a working slave. A child slave is not a working slave. As such, most slave owners wanted nothing to do with breeding slaves.

Plus, the 3/5th rule meant the Masters received more political power if they had more slaves (for some odd reason today's liberals think it is "digusting" that Masters only received 60% more political power for each slave they owned). And, of course, the United States was growing and the slave economy needed more slaves to spread into the new states.

So the Norman/Celts were desperate for more slaves to counter the power of the Anglo-Saxons. And one way of getting more slaves was invading countries were they could be obtained.
