The Conundrum in the Tundra
The states of Ontario and Quebec are getting quite restless under American control. The two states started seeing themselves as entirely different from the rest of the United States, even when they had just elected a Congressman. While America was continuing to settle west, the northern states seemed to be put to the wayside after the Americans had won their battle for independence.
What did Ontario and Quebec want, exactly? In the early 1860s, the two states wanted a stronger and more extensive system of roads to connect the cities and gather resources, and they wanted to be developed more, along with taking the rest of Britain's two cities on the North American mainland.
However, Presidents McClellan and Van Buren both seemed to ignore their claims, so the Congressmen from Ontario and Quebec met together to discuss forming a union, along with sending officials to London to discuss joining together to get independence from America.
All of this was just another headache for President McClellan, who saw this as another task he had to deal with along with the rambunctious South. What is he to do? He cannot spare his workers to send to the North to develop the Northern States when he has to connect and develop the West to keep
them from seceding. Not only that, but the South wants to make slavery legal again and practically become independent. What is he to do?
Is this the start of a divide in the United States? McClellan certainly hopes not, but it is starting to look a bit like it.
