Emancipation Proclamation – USA political decision
Event text: Lincoln declares all slaves in seceded states “forever free.” Blacks will now be accepted for service in the U.S. army.
Required: Second Confiscation Act, USA military victory in preceding four turns resulting in an NM gain of at least two. Once only.
Effects: -15 EP, Create 40 USCT infantry units in USA force pool ($ slightly less than a normal conscript unit of the same type, same CSC and WSU cost, high cohesion conscript-style units, grow into normal line units – maybe higher cohesion?? Don’t know if I’d go for elite attack and defense values - when trained. Can be built in southern cities). CSC boost (+100). Increase CSC production of southern cities controlled by USA (+1 in medium black population region, +2 in high), with +1 bonuses for northern cities with large free black populations (Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Chicago, and St. Louis). Add two “black regiment” RGDs to USA force pool. Random FI effect -20 to +5. Large loyalty bonuses and moderate maluses and regional devastations and CSA slave labor unit desertion as “Second Confiscation Act” above. Reduce NM or loyalty maluses of USA calls for volunteers or conscription (to reflect the fact that northern states can now fill their quotas with black soldiers, reducing the political costs to state governments). Add three “black regiment” RGDs to USA stock, remove one “white Unionist” RGD, add one “Copperhead” RGD to CSA force pool.
