"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation..."

Also..."Any people, anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right, a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world."-- Abraham Lincoln, 1847

The Declaration of Independence has no legal precedence in the U.S. Constitution. Just FYI.

Byrd Man said
You're right, Aegon. I am a tyrant. So feel free to just go ahead and stop me.

Occitania would be more divisive. As of 1860, about 40% of the French population was Occitan speaking. Another almost 10% at the same time spoke neither French nor Occitan natively (Basque, German, Breton, etc).As of the beginning of the RP, only about half of the French population had the French language as their mother tongue.

@AegonVI and @Byrd Man; you guys are aware that you can conscript more soldiers, right? The ones enlisted last update were just the ones available for that year. I don't expect the both of you to keep fighting with such small armies.

AegonVI said
Nor did it have any precedence under British rule either, to the best of my knowledge...

Dedonus said
That's why we fought a war over it.

AegonVI said
Well I'm in a war now, so there you go. You gotta help me now@Outcast, new orders sent in. *evil laugh*

Byrd Man said
I thought we had to wait until the next update to get more people. Well, fuck it. Let's roll with it.

It might work out to follow the original timeline, since the draft act was passed in 1863. Suppose I can do that in the next batch of war orders.
