Fun Fact: It was Russia who saved The Union during the American Civil War as they sent their Navy to San Francisco and New York when England and France were just about to enter the war on the side of the Confederates since London created the Confederates. France was already in Mexico making a spear head movement to resupply the Confederates and to open up a Pacific Theatre and to create a port in California. England already amassed 11,000 troops and growing stationed at their Northern Confederacies border now called Canada ready to open a Northern Theatre to divert Union troops away from their Southern Confederacy then to attack The Unions naval blockade. The Union would have been completely destroyed and annexed by those two great powers leaving the Confederates to exist as a puppet state of London. London was already courting (threatening/bribing) other countries to get involved like Spain while Russia was in talks with Prussia to ally with incase London was to intervene. Seeing all of this Tsar Alexander II wrote a letter to Queen Victoria saying “If you enter in this war it will be a casus belli for all out war with the Russian Empire”. The stage was set for the 1st World War and Russia stopped it. There is also a memorial in San Francisco for the hundreds of Russian sailors who came off their Asiatic fleet ships that died while helping the city put out a fire that threatened to lay waste to it during the War.
Russia also helped Thailand (Kingdom of Siam) maintain its sovereignty from being completely Partitioned/Annexed from the British and French around the same time. The very word Thai (ไทย) means 'free man' in the Thai language which is partially to thank to the Russians as they might have ended up being a colony or part of another country/colony if not for their intervention.
I saw your reaction and regarding USCT, it was the unionist slaveowner commander George Thomas who attested the valiant actions of USCT at the Battle of Nashville. Speaking of Thomas, the guy was a beast, never lost a battle, a slave owner and still stayed loyal to the union. Commanded the union Army of Cumberland to destroy Hood's army close all fighting in Western theatre and saved his army at Chickamauga with his holding and potent rear guard. He also teamed up with his west point roommate Sherman who was then the commander of Union Army of Tennessee to relieve Chattanooga. He for his whole life afterwards worked and advocated for freedmen suffrage. Huge change for someone coming from an aristocratic planter family.
I always have huge respect to reactors who are able to meaningfully add to the material at hand in a way that makes it even better. Great work sir!
I appreciate that!
