I’d place a cannon there

~~actually a shitload of cannons~~

I remember reading something bout the confederates trying to get the British and the rest of Europe to intervene

They did but failed

England and the rest of Europe just simply switched to buying from Egypt

yeah, because the deal they had with the CSA was if you can break through the blockade we can further assist you in your campaign, however this wouldnt happen as the Union by then had the superior naval force even when Ironclads cropped up first with the CSA

we found it

someone in the gun chat said its a 8in Rodman naval cannon used in coastal forts from 1860s to 70s

Whoa that's a thicc boi

Indeed

Nice

I want to own one

How do we undo literal centuries of living under autocratic rule. ^ that’s the problem with bringing democracy to China

Emperor>warlord>republic(real brief)>Empire again(cause Japan)>Communism
