Me, Myself, and the Civil War

by 50Burgers

Finally the elections were over! America had been completely torn over them, and the states were no help. He hoped the results would take care of all the problems he had been experiencing, but that certainly didn't happen. With the Election of 1860, all hell was going to break loose resulting in an American bloodbath like no other. Rated T for language and some violence.(NOT USxUS)

1. Prologue

Prologue The Election of 1860

I paced nervously behind the men counting the presidential votes. The elections were always stressful, my citizens were always torn up about the candidates. This one had been especially stressful with the states always arguing. They were worse than Francis and the British dude, but that's probably because there was 34 of them. Plus the territories, but they were a little quieter. The states did take after me in that sense. They're all pretty loud and outspoken. But who wouldn't take after me I AM the Hero after all!

I glanced over to where the states were grouped. As usual, they were having a loud argument, North vs. South. South Carolina and New York were pretty much screaming at each other in their never ending, verbal war on slavery. Each of their northern and southern pals were backing up their friends. Virginia was in the middle trying to defend both sides unsuccessfully.

The men counting the votes finally turned to me with the results, "YES!" I jumped up excited to find out who my new boss would be. "Hey dudes!" I called waving broadly to the states. They stopped arguing like they had promised before and came to hear the results.

One of the men cleared his throat, "the winner of this year's election is Mr. Abraham Lincoln."

The states remained fairly quiet. New York celebrated silently and quietly high-fived his friends Vermont and Pennsylvania. Virginia nodded silently. Missouri frowned but shrugged. The southern states were appalled though. The worst reaction was definitely from South Carolina. He totally flipped out.

At first his jaw dropped with an expression of pure horror. Then the horror turned to rage. "What the hell?! How is that possible!?" he screamed.

None of the states knew how to respond. Even his sister North Carolina was surprised.

"Dude," I said calmly, "chill it's okay, Lincoln is—"

"You can't tell me what to do Alfred!" he screeched "LINCOLN IS TOTALLY GONNA BE THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER!" he said and with that he turned on his heels and stormed out.

The states exploded into a mess of questions, confusion, and more arguments. They were unsure about South Carolina's reaction. Virginia tried to quiet them down. "Guys, ugh GUYS come ooonnnn! Pipe down will ya?!" She turned to me irritates and gave me a pleading look. Time for the Hero to step in.

"YO!" I shouted over everyone lighting up the whole room. The states finally shut up. "Okay dudes, I know that this election has been totally stress filled, but everything will be okay. I'm sure South Carolina will cool off soon."

The states eventually calmed down and went home. The only thing was that I wasn't so sure about South Carolina, he seemed really pissed.

A/N:

Hey guys this is my first fanfiction. Not quite sure about the title though. I'm sorry this isn't thoroughly edited; I didn't get a chance to fully gramar nazi myself, but I thought this was socially acceptable (somewhat). For the most part, each chapter is named after an actual event that occurred in the Civil War with the events in the chapter will represent an actual occurrence at the time. However, there will be a few exceptions. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this! Please leave me comments and suggestions, though I already have the next chapter written, just mostly revisions and such is left. Thanks again!
