JCC(2): Emergency White House Meeting of the Confederate States of America, 1862

About the Committee

The year is 1862, the Northern agressors are attempting to take over the independence of the Confederacy.The early optimism of secession has given way to the grim realities of war—military defeats, economic hardship, internal dissent, and diplomatic isolation.The North has no respect for our customs, traditions and culture . The Northeners have violated and are continuing to violate the soverneigty of the Sourthern states and want to take away our slaves. These slaves are part of our social and economic fabric and the North wants to impose the their ideology on us and take away our freedom. We as proud Sourtherners will stand side by side, hand in hand and use our corridnated efforts to prevent such a disaster from occuring. We will take help from our European friends in this task and be declared as new country.Our new nation would serve as the economic and social model for the rest of the civilized world.As delegates of Jefferson Davis War Committee, the delegates are expected to take any and all measure to ensure continued Sourthern independence and a Confederate victory.

Delegates must realise that the situation is tense, intimidating and challenging. A single decision can change the lives of thousands and has the power to recalibrate North American geopolitics forever. Tactical decisions, unblemished understanding and calculated conclusions is what this moment calls for. The Confederacy has seceeded for a cause, and it must live on for that cause to bear fruit - the cause of liberty and sovereignty.

Keep in mind,the best delegate of the committee will not be someone who can simply just dominate but someone who can restore Confederacy to its prophesized glory.

Delegates,

You are in the eye of the storm. The question is can you find your way out? Welcome to The Emergency White House Meeting of the Confederate States of America, 1862. The Confederate States of America stand at a crucial juncture, teetering on the edge of oblivion. After having seceded from the American Union, the Confederates hope to chart their own course, free from the scrutiny of the Northern states. You are tasked with the duty of making sure that it remains here even after the storm passes.

Throughout this fast paced committee you will be faced with a number of obstacles that in the heat of the moment may seem insurmountable, but the way in which you control the situation is what will ultimately decide your fate in this committee. We expect you to be proficient in all aspects even in the direst times. Creative solutions to difficult problems, impassioned speeches and immense lobbying will be required to cement your position at this meeting. Solidarity is the name of the game, but will you be able to keep your wits about you while all others are losing theirs, and blaming it on you? Never forget, to survive is a layman's job but to thrive is the essence of true success.

Fighting the Union you are undoubtedly facing an almost David vs. Goliath like situation, you certainly have your work cut out for you.

Tune out the noise and weather the storm. That is your mission, and we look forward to watching you complete it.

Till June,
Rohan Sen & Parth Singhania,
Co-Chairpersons,
The Emergency White House Meeting of the Confederate States of America, 1862.
