			== Introduction ==
			"Slavery is truly and fairly a subject for the investigation of Political Economy... [it is] a system which it is recently the fashion to contemn, but which must now come boldly forward to claim its true place in the world’s development; and it is before the tribunal of Political Economy that it must claim this place, and prove the justice of its cause."<ref>[[Louisa S. McCord]], "Slavery and Political Economy," in ''[[De Bow's Review]]'', Vol. 21, pp. 422-469.</ref> [[Louisa S. McCord\|My mother]] wrote these words in 1856, and not by even the slightest degree have they faded in truth or intensity in the years since. Slavery feeds the world. Slavery clothes the world. Slavery carries the world: and for this the world should be eternally grateful, yet what do we receive in return? Condemnation and harassment from the Yankees to the north and Mexicans to the south, and from all the mongrel peoples of Europe. Only their leaders are wise enough to see the value that slavery has brought to the world...

Author's Note: on account of Henry V's and Maria Theresa's advanced age, Henry VI is autistic and ends up disinterested in running the country.

'''Henry V''' was [[List of French monarchs|King of the French]] from 1867 until his death in 1883.

On March 15, 1867, as a non-trivial amount of French forces were fighting in the [[Jeongmyo War]] in Korea, members of the French military stormed the [[Tuileries Palace]], detained [[Napoleon III]] and his family, and proclaimed the Count of Chambord as "King of the French." The event is now known as the [[Coup of 15 March]] or the Coup of the Ides.

In 1869, his wife, [[Maria Theresa of France]], bore a son, [[Henry VI of France|Henri]], but died in childbirth. (Henry V never remarried.)<ref name="leroi">Cf. Montplaisir (2008), ''Le comte de Chambord dernier roi de France''</ref> The birth of "Henry the Miraculous" threw the [[Orléanism|Orléanists]] in disarray, as they banked on Henry V's remaining childless. In anticipation of a repeat of the July Revolution, Henry V preemptively had notable Orléanists detained.
