The Watchers, still Hidden

With the Security forces and police of the Principality, you'd think that they have had more luck, but alas this isnt the case. In a report from the Chief of Police in Montgomery, only 3 men have been caught in the last 2 months, none of which were high ranking officers. The looking continues.

The Guerrilla War continues

With the Dominican Republic being added into the Principality, the guerrilla warfare still continues as troops who havent surrender still fight the Alabamian Troops still there.

This rp is slowing up and im thinking about ending it, however if i can get 10 yes votes i'll keep it open. If not, sorry guys.

The Earl of Jefferson, Alexander Cooke, has taken his stance in the Slavery Debate ongoing in Alabama, he also has shown an interest in the affairs of the Dominican people.

While Slavery has long been a benefit to Southern economy, our nation has little to gain from keeping this age old custom, however, dispite my stance on this matter, I strongly oppose any measure aimmed at introducing the Black man onboard a Alabamian naval vessel, my reasonings are many and too much to say here, and should be taken into account before anyone starts introducing wild cards to the Prince, one step at a time please. Europe has long abandoned this tradition, our time has come as well.

~ Alexander Cooke, Earl of Jefferson, Admiral of the Fleet *crying face*

In other news, the Rank stucture of the Alabamian Navy was recently changed, the rank of High Admiral, being changed to Admiral of the Fleet, alternetively called Grand Admiral, while the Prince was bestowed the rank of Commander-in-Chief, new uniforms were also adopted, with the Navy taking on a liking after the Royal Navy, the old uniforms of the Confederate Navy were finally laid to rest in the new Naval Museum in Birmingham.

With the acquisition of the eastern part of Hispanola, the Earl of Jefferson, has shown an interest in gaining property on the Isle, for both himself, and his naval adventures.. Now it is only a matter of time before Cooke's Sugar & Berries can be a company. The stated reason for this interest is, Expanding the Mobile shipyard and docks would infringe upon the neighboring Duchy of Mobile.

"The slaves sweep, and God gently weeps."

Was the title of an opinion piece produced by a "Daniel Hawke" today would be on the front page, the piece was several paragraphs long, it included pictures of slaves beaten and wiped, even while this is illegal in the Principality, this didn't stop slave masters from doing such.

Daniel Hawke argued from an moral and economic standpoint:

"Slavery is abhorent, one cannot properly call themselves Christian if one cannot find it in his heart to view another human being as just that, another human being."

"Slavery takes away jobs and labour from the white working population, imagine how much the economy would be doing better without slavery, a system that already has brought the Alabamian economy down and will probably continue to bring it down as manufacturing booms in the other states of America and the world. Many Middle class whites and working class whites are out of a job and cannot contribute to the economy.

The acquisition of the Dominician Republic will only bring about more economic hardship, and a large black population that will not want to become slaves and will violently resist this."

Daniel Hawke's last article is a call for action on the issue of making slavery illegal, including the phasing out of slavery over a period of five years. This opinion piece will be written on every newspaper owned by the Populist party in other counties and in Mobile.
