Treaty Ports America: Challenge

Your Challenge is to make Foriegn Powers exist in America through treaty ports. Your POD may be geophysical (Mississippi = dry creek), or like any other POD after the French and Indian War.

And before each post, could the challengers type in a regional name that cooresponds to the CSA? If the USA is America, and the Confedaracy is considered not American, the Confederacy is _____ (Confederra?).

What?! Technically there are Americans living in Colombia, El Salvador and Argentina, but we just call them Colombians, Salvadorans and Argentinians. The Confederacy is American since it was formed out the United States, the citizens are Americans, as in 'Confederate States of...'. Getting even more technical, they wouldn't be Confederates - per say - but Virginians, Flordians, etc.

Since I don't quite get the gist of your entire challenge I'll just disregard it. The likely OTL sites for Treaty Ports would be Providence, Boston, Martha Vineyard, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, Galveston, San Diego, Astoria, Annapolis or Baltimore, Richmond or Alameda, CA. and Bainbridge Island, WA.

I purposefully did not choose New York, New Orleans, San Francisco, since I figure that those ports would still be vital ports, just excluding foreigners - much like the historical treaty ports in China and Japan. However, its likely that an OTL city nearby by may be a treaty port, like Brooklyn or Staten Island. Islands may be a good port, as we have seen with Hong Kong.
 
It is funny how the people from the USA have appropiated the name of America. They are the only americans, although they allow the Canadians to be northamericans too. Look a physical map of the World and tell me what continent is Guatemala placed in?
 
It might seem "funny" now, but when the United States of America was formed it was the only independent political entity on the continent (aside from the native nations already here of course)and so it made sense! Every person of european descent on the continent was a royal subject of one monarch or another, except those in the USA, they were citizens of America. Having said that, I do wish, for the reason you state, that our founding fathers had chosen a "real" name (a creative Jeffersonian name like Transylmerica or even Columbia) for nation.
