After the war, will the Empire be merciful? Or will even saying the word "republic" be considered treason?
That’s a good question, but overall the image of republicanism in America is associated with the failed Republican experiment of the Articles of Confederation, and the Slave Aristocracy of the UAR.

Personally, I'd have the top civilian and military leadership hang, middle-grade leaders punished on a case-by-case basis, and leave the lower rungs untouched.
 
What is the overall war plan of the United American Republic, I may ask?
Basically capturing New Orleans in the west to cut off the trade flow of the Mississippi River, and capturing Columbia (maybe even the Emperor) while trying to gain time until Napoleon is defeated and hopefully the Coalition sends their forces to deal with the Empire.
 
LIII: THE EMPIRE OF FREEDOM IV
THE EMPIRE OF FREEDOM IV



The Battle of Columbia is surrounded by a romantic and nationalist mythology in American history, of when a small force of the best that the Empire had, led by the warrior Emperor John II himself, fought against a massed invasion by the forces of slavery led by the Southern General Lee. The battle would forge many stories of heroism, and saying that you fought in Columbia was enough to make you the celebrity of your town. The Imperial Guard recruited men from all America, from the distant coast of Oregon to the swamps of Louisiana, Americanists and Catholics alike, and the baptism by fire of American nationalism, the thing that made the Catholic Québécois and the Protestant Yankees the same, would be the moment they both bleed together to defend the heart of the Empire, and ensure that the Burning of Columbia would never happen again.

The odds were clearly stacked against the Empire, outnumbered over 5-2 and surrounded by all sides, yet it wasn’t a battle as heroic as American Nationalists claim, the Republican army came tired of the recent battle of Braddock heights, and Lee has sent his best commander, Stonewall Jackson, to protect his flank. Yet, between the 26th and the 1st of September, the Republicans put everything they had on the gamble of taking the city and possibly capturing the Emperor in order to force him into a peace. Even if John II refused to sign an agreement such defeat would be crushing to American morale and might finally encourage the Spanish to attack on the west and cut off the Imperials from their Western Territories. Columbia had a strong line of defenses, formed by several smaller forts and trench lines, with 4 major forts defending the North, while the Potomac River held the west.

On the 26th, the first engagements of the Battle actually began in Arlington, where Republican forces took back the city of Alexandria after a vicious fight in the morning. The intentions of Lee was to capture the high ground of Arlington and Mt. Vernon, planning to position his artillery in the perfect position to bombard the capital across the Potomac. 24,000 men of the 3rd Corps led by Jubal Early would assault the strong imperial defenses of Arlington with only 11,000 men. The battle would last for most of the day, with the Republicans repeatedly breaking the defensive lines only to be pushed back by determined counterattacks. The House of Emperor George I Washington in Mt. Vernon became a battlefield, where the 5th Philadelphia Cohort would hold against a Republican force 3 times it’s size for 4 hours. In the end, the Republicans have pushed the Imperials back to fort McPherson, with their lines pressed almost against the river, reduced to their last defensive line. Ironically, old Pre-War forts built by the Republicans were used to defend Columbia. Early’s Corps suffered such heavy losses that Lee ordered them to halt any further attacks, and the Empire conserved at least part of the high ground and a foothold west of the Potomac.

On the 27th, Lee would begin his main attack, a force of 48,000 men divided into two Corps, assaulting the north of the Capital. The Imperial lines were held by 4 main forts: Saratoga, Stevens, Kearny, and Gaines. The Imperials were outnumbered 2-1, but they have been preparing to defend their capital for 40 years. Emperor John himself, against the advice of all his commanders, would head himself to the heat of the battle, the assault on fort Stevens. Located in the center of the line, Fort Stevens was one of the best positions of the Imperials, controlling the center of the defensive line in a forward position, perfect to be attacked from all 3 sides. Ironically, the fort was being manned by the “Black Devils” as the Southerners called them, the 1st Ohio Cohort, made up entirely of blacks, and the men fought bravely to hold against an endless wave of enemies, Emperor John himself having to be forcefully taken away by his guards after he pulled his saber and charged into the battle.

As the sunset came, the Imperial lines north-west of the city held strong against the Republicans, yet a personal tragedy would strike. As Emperor John returned to the White House, a Republican artillery shell fell on the house from across the Potomac, and when the dust fell, he found his son, Charles Marshall, dead after being smashed by the debris. The Emperor cried with his dead child in his arms, and after that, he blindly grabbed his saber and pistol, saddled up a horse, and charged full speed towards the bridge that crossed the Potomac, his guard raced to attempt to stop him as he blindly charged against the Republican lines. In the middle of the night, the Republican soldiers woke to see a lone man on a horse charging towards them, the guards ordered him to stop, but the tear-faced Emperor was full of rage, and it fell on deaf ears, a warning shot was fired but he ignored it, and then one shot hit his horse and made him fall on the floor. The two sides were now alert as the Confederates started firing while the Imperial forces gave cover to the guards who had to knock out the Emperor in order to bring him back to Columbia.

On the following day, Emperor John was left to mourn his son, while General David Hunter would take command of the city’s defenses. The day was a repeat of the second one, with Lee attempting to break the defensive line of the city, and for some time he actually managed to open a hole in the lines at the Vermont Battery, allowing the Dixie cavalry to charge and wreak havoc behind the enemy lines and burning several buildings of Columbia, this resulted in a battle in the middle of the city as a small force of Canadian reservists had managed to hold the city and close the hole in the lines. The day ended with news that Halleck was demoted from field command, and Major General Abraham Lincoln from Illinois was in command of the beaten forces in Baltimore, and he was a much more aggressive commander than Halleck, planning to launch an attack to relieve Columbia. But between Lincoln and John was Jackson’s 2nd Corps in Greenbelt.

General Lincoln

The 29th of August would see a change in tactics by Lee, as he focused his attacks on the Northeastern sector of the city near fort Saratoga. 17,000 Republicans under James Longstreet were sent, as he hoped that the eastern defenses were undermanned by the city’s defenders, and they met only 8,000 men under Colonel Ulysses Grant defending the area. The majority of the fighting of the day took place there, as both sides fought for Fort Saratoga and smaller surrounding forts like Fort Bunker Hill and Fort Gates, the fort changed hands at least 4 times during the day, but in the end the Imperial Eagle was left standing over a pile of bodies. Meanwhile, Lincoln would start marching towards Greenville, and Lee started to get frustrated by the stubborn defenses of Columbia, and worried that Lincoln could relieve the city, but Jackson never failed him before, and he would give time for another attack.

The 30th of August would be the day the Republicans sent everything they had, starting with Early’s Corps finally pushing the Imperials out of Arlington, yet too late to capture the bridges that were burned after the Imperial forces managed to retreat to the city. Lee then launched a full assault against fort Stevens, with a massive bombardment of 150 pieces of artillery for an hour, followed by the attack of over 7,000 men finally overwhelming the defenders of Fort Stevens after 2 hours of combat. It seemed the Republicans would finally take the city, with the Imperial forces forced to pull back to the inner city defenses, the rest of the day was a vicious urban warfare on the outer city, compared only to the bloodbath in Berlin 15 years earlier. Yet the reduced lines allowed the Imperials to concentrate their perimeter defenses, and they were capable of holding off the attack until the night, yet just barely. Both sides were completely exhausted by that point, the Grand Army of the Republic was reduced to less than 60% of it’s strength and the Imperial Legion ran out of reserves.

No side could mount an offensive against one another, and the 31st of August was mostly calm other than the Republicans bombarding the city from Arlington. The majority of the activity happened in Greenbelt, where Jackson held repeated Imperial attacks, until Lincoln’s forces finally broke the 2nd corps at the sunset and exposed the Left flank of Lee’s army. In Lee’s General Staff, it was a night to decide what should be done, in one hand, Lincoln would soon be setting march to attack the Left flank and relieve the city, on the other, the 2nd Corps escaped the battle in fighting conditions, and Jackson’s men could bring the necessary breakthrough in Columbia’s defenses. Also, news came that a combined Briton-Republican fleet was sailing up the Potomac and could provide with Marines to flank John’s forces from the South. It was decided, the 1st of September would decide the fate of the Battle, and of the War in the East.

The climax of the battle arrived in a cold morning, both sides had a much needed rest the day before, and the Imperials were starting to feel hope as the rumors of Lincoln’s legions marching to free the city revealed to be true in a correspondence to the Emperor. John II finally stepped out of the White House, ending his mourning, he went to the frontlines, where he would deliver a speech on a podium. It was brief, but was enough to heighten the spirits of his men and be forever remembered as one of the greatest in American History.


“Today, September 1st of 1852, we stand in our generation’s finest hour. Our fathers had theirs when the Redcoats burned this city, and our Grandfathers had theirs in a Valley Forge. But why ? Why do we keep fighting every generation ? Because the world of Tyrants and Slaveowners can never accept us, if they did, then their own people’s would be inspired by us. America is an Empire, an Empire of Freedom, founded on the belief that God has given us our rights, we can speak against our superiors without fear of imprisonment, we all have our opportunity of becoming rich and prosper, using innovation and free enterprise. Yet each generation is just one step from tyranny, and we fight so we are to never be slaves, to be masters of our own destiny. It’s a great sacrifice, and I understand... now better than ever, that we have to pay, and I cannot Force anyone to do that. If you do don’t want us to carry this burden anymore, all you have to do is lower your weapons, give in the city and I shall sign our surrender and end this war. But is it right to do so and doom millions to remain whipped in bloody cotton fields their whole lives ? We cannot let the lives of all those that died here to be in vain ! America will fight ! The Eagle will fight ! For if we don’t, the tyrants will extinguish the last light of Liberty and the world will be doomed to a thousand years of darkness.”
A few minutes after finishing the speech, Emperor John again ignored his guards, he then threatened to abdicate and enlist as a common soldier. “If you won’t let me fight as the Emperor, then I will fight as an American Soldier”. John couldn’t be stopped, and he was given a rifle but his guards dismounted and fought by his side. Soon, at the 10 AM, the guns roared again, and the 2nd Corps of the Republican Army, 20,000 of the best Southern forces led by Stonewall Jackson, launched a full attack on the Imperial lines. The battle was vicious and brutal, with over a thousand men down in less than 10 minutes during the initial charge. The melee was fought with savagery, with the Dixie Elan fighting the defenses of Columbia, yet the men were slowly being pushed back in the city, Emperor John was shot during the battle, being taken back to the White House for an urgent surgery that removed a bullet from his chest. Soon, General Hunter, who took over during the Emperor’s surgery, was about to raise the White Flag, then the sound of trumpets was heard from the North. Lincoln’s men had arrived.

Lee still expected the Americans to be several hours away, yet Lincoln marched his men until near exhaustion to arrive in the battle, and suddenly the entire Left Flank of the Republican forces was surrounded. Added with the news of the defeat in the Potomac by the Fleet, including the destruction of the mythical GSR Phoenix, the morale of the Republicans broke, with Lincoln’s army launching a massive attack from the North, smashing the Republican rearguard in Fort Saratoga. Seeing that, the surrounded men Imperial Legion, with. Colonel Grant leading it, charged with renewed vigor at the 2nd Corps, finally linking up with Lincoln’s men in the North. Lee ordered a General retreat south, with the Imperial army racing forward. Dozens of artillery pieces were left behind as the Republicans desperately crossed the Potomac. Imperial artillery destroyed the bridges after most of the army crossed it, trapping thousands behind that immediately surrendered, the morale of the Southerners was shattered and the Imperial Army was too tired to pursue, the Battle of Columbia was over.

The Battle of Columbia is considered the turning point of the war, with 46,000 fallen Republicans and 37,000 Imperial troops, including the Battle of Greenbelt, it became the bloodiest battle in American soil up to that moment, with 83 thousand lost, including prisoners and injured in total. After such a victory, Colonel Grant was promoted to Brigadier General of the Imperial Guard, and Abraham Lincoln became the Chief General of the Imperial armies, yet there was still a battle to be won to turn the tide in the west, and many more until the final victory of the “Empire of Freedom”.
 
Say hello to my biggest and probably favorite update, with the Climax of the War arriving and the Empire’s finest hour in the dark days of the Battle of Columbia.

This is a very good update. One small recommendation. You should change Ulysses Grant's name to Hiram Grant. That was his original name until West Point accidentally screwed up his name and he just ran with it. In this world, that is unlikely to happen. Just a small recommendation.
 
Hello I recently found this TL and I love it!

2 questions though:
1. Is it possible to see a pre war map pf the American Empire?
2. How many people does each side have?

This is a de Jure map of North America in the 1810s, the Northern Territories aren’t settled yet but are claimed by America, Quebec is an Autonomous Grand Duchy, and a correction: Spain controls Central America, the UAR Controls Cuba, and Britannia still owns Newfoundland and the Islands of the St. Laurent Gulf, like Prince Edward Island and Anticosti.

The Empire has a population of roughly 20 million, while they lack the West Coast and the South, they control Canada and had a great migration boom from Ireland due to the brutal British occupation after the Great European War. And also from Germany under French occupation, the majority of the Iberians fled to their exiled governments in Mexico and Brazil. The Republicans have between 4-8 million, also depending if you count the recently independent Cuba and the Slave population.

Thanks! I can't wait for the southern scumbags to feel the wrath of 'Murica!
