So the US is willing to support a 2nd ROT *without* a requirement that it give up Slavery...
The other question is whether the US troops going into DFW are 1) conducting "Civilized" war or 2) whatever rules the war is being fought in the east. It also means that the support for the 2ROT is stronger among the Tejanos would would *tend* to be the Texans least likely to own slaves. (If soldiers tipping their hats to the women of Dallas is helpful to splitting off Texas, they'll do it. )
I don't think the British/Canadians would be viewed by the Americans as overstepping their bounds to be curious, a 2ROT would border four nations (US,CS,MX,IT) and the next closest nations are Spain (western tip of Cuba) and Britain (Either Bahamas, Jamaica or Belize depending on how you measure)
I still think Mexico may be violating the letter of the treaty signed with the US by keeping troops in the Confederacy, but every Confederate that ends up fighting the Mexicans is one that Philadelphia doesn't have to worry about.
Yeah, basically this boils down to the Americans going "Declare independence and you *won't* get the post-war treatment that your fellow States in the Confederacy will get"
Also, is this the first posting set in early 1916?
