American news, June 14th, 1864--
As the Battle of Cold harbor winds down, more protesters filled the streets of Washington today to protest the Union's pre-emptive war against the Confederation. They filled the streets, brandishing signs like "No Blood for Cotton!", "Get your cotton-pickin' hands off the south!" and "Lincoln = King George!" in a mass array that seem to convey the assembly's frustration at what they call an unjust war.
"They're killing innocent people over there!" said on protester, who had a wooden Lincoln mask, modified with devil horns, on his face, a Union uniform on his back and replica of the new repeater rifle in Union service on hand. "How can you justify killing innocent people for the sake of Union dominance and Imperial ambitions?"
"I feel ashamed to live in Maryland," said a woman in the crowd. "Looking at the president's face makes me sick. I'm so ashamed to be a part of the Union."
Many scoff at the notion that President Lincoln plans to free the slaves after the war. "You say that the freeing the slaves is a good reason why we should continue this war against the south, but are we rewriting history here? I thought good ol' Abe Shabe said it was to keep the Union together. It's all bullshit! Duh! It's about COTTON!" Said Whitman Brown of Vermont.
"Of course what do you expect when you get a president who didn't recieve the majority vote?" Brown's companion, Samuel Hobson. The man is so ugly and stupid. He can't even talk straight!"
During mid-day, a group of supporters for the war marched past the protesters with vigor, holding up a myriad of American Flags. One of them was Old Glory. Others were more modern. The incident thickened the tension in the air, and police had to be called in to keep the demonstrations non-violent.
Protests like these have literally flooded streets across the Union. It was thought and generally hoped, among these crowds, that the South would defeat the Union and teach the North a lesson that they would not quick. Now, with Southern supplies severely depleted and the Confederate army on the verge of surrender, many of these protestors have shut up and gone home.
Of course not all have the same arguments. A man name Beffendi Jones happily told us what he thought of the whole situation: "It's them dirrrrrrty Jeeews, I tell ya! If they weren't panhandlin and causing such a ruckous in Russia, we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with!"
