July,4 1776

Despite there best efforts the only thing the southern and northern delegates couldn't agree on anything the one delagute proposed to extensively look at what a post war Amarica would look like. Every thing was going fine currency etc.. Etc.. had all been agreed on then the topic of slavery came up then all hell broke loose. after hours of arguing John Hancock got up and proposed a compromise split the nation into 2 nations the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia forming the confeadrate states of Amarica or confeadracy. and the states of Maryland,Pennsylvania,Delaware,New Jersey,New York, Massachusetts,Connecticut and New Hampshire forming the federated states of Amarica. This normally was completely out of his attitude but he was furious after 5 hours of arguing and was not thinking clearly the other statesmen were also furious and angry so they weren't thinking clearly everyone gave an enormous round of applause and after the usual goodbyes everyone headed home by time everyone came to there senses it was to late to take it back the newspapers had already printed 2 new nations. Meeting a whole 2 months later the 2 nations agree two have a joint war cabnit and 2 head genrels one for the southern front and one for the northern front with the war cabnit residing in the compromise city of Baltimore.

Notes
The P.O.D is that the contental congresss decides to look at what the nation will actually be it is more realisticlly possible to spilt the nort and south up at this point because they had not forged a commen identity
