1843
Throughout the year US forces were slowly beaten out of New Jersey by large numbers of amphibious landings along the coast, and only a small number were left. Soon after the US forces in New York were kicked out, and the Union troops were on the run now. An enraged 'Freedom' army had fought valiantly and had succeeded in clearing the Union forces out of most of northern Pennsylvania. A large section of the Union forces were encircled, and the 'Freedom' forces managed to start clearing the US out of East Ohio.
20 October: President Macon was being pressured by his close allies and congress to try and set up a peace with the Federation of Free States. With the recent humiliating defeats in battle by the US Macon knew that it wouldn't be long before West Ohio and possibly even Washington D.C would be endangered by Freedom units. Finally he requests a meeting with the Free States President, and on this day the famous 'Meeting of D.C' occurred.
3 November: Guns on the battlefronts fall silent, as Macon is forced to recognize the Federation in an embarrassing peace treaty in which the USA hands over 25 million dollars to the Federation in repartitions, and prisoners of war on both sides being handed back over the other side. Though after this treaty was signed there were still some skirmishes within West Ohio, which both the Federation and US claimed. Though in the end the Federation relinquished their claim over the state.
15 November: Quitman declares that he is going to “create a new United States, that won’t fail under President Macon”. Thus him, a group of 3 generals and around 2000 troops sail from the port of Georgetown. By the 2nd of December the Filibusters had reached Puerto Castilla, a coastal town of Honduras.
2 December: In the ‘Battle of Puerto Castilla’ a group of highly unprepared Hondurans were banded together to take on the 2000 strong American force. The Hondurans were outnumbered 4 to 1 and thus the battle ended rather quickly. The American troops now had a foothold on the wholly unprepared country of Honduras. The troops moved westwards rapidly, taking various towns along the way by surprise and suffering only minor losses.

Throughout the year there are large numbers of immigrants moving to the Dominion of New Portsmouth, from the USA, Latin America, Europe (especially Britain, France and the German states). This causes the Dominion to become rather overpopulated, and thus there are large numbers of immigrants moving further north than New Portsmouth, into Louisiana Colony, which is sparsely populated.
5 January: The filibuster forces finally reach Tegucigalpa, capital of Honduras. The 2000 strong American force sees a force of around 2500 men defending the capital of Honduras, and all seems lost for them after this month-long campaign. Though by some ingenious work done from the commanding generals of the army, they manage to set up a successful siege of the city.
15 January: The ‘Council of Ministers’ sets up a meeting with Quitman. The city is losing food fast and there are some awful diseases affecting the population. The American army is also suffering from this, though only a small number are luckily for Quitman. The Council of Ministers is forced to surrender the nation to him, not the US but just Quitman and his army. Thus soon after Quitman is installed as President of Honduras, though he soon passes some acts making his role as the President to be a more authoritarian role for the moment when the nation needs stability.
16 January: King George V of Britain finally reaches the age of 18, and thus takes over throne of Britain. Though initially he shows some interest in the North American colonies, and a month after he comes of age he goes on a visit to New Portsmouth. This was the first trip by a royal to the North American colonies ever and thus it was shocking but wonderful for the people of the colonies. He goes first to New Portsmouth, and then he goes from there to the Bahamas, and then all the way to Nova Scotia. Then to Newfoundland, New Brunswick and lastly the Dominion of Canada.
17 February: The Colonies of Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia join the ‘Dominion of Canada’ after they see the benefits of being more autonomous of Britain. Though they stay very loyal to Britain, especially after the Kings surprise visit.
