I’m Byron Peng, the Attorney General. I’m in charge of the enforcement of laws and the admittance of states back into the Union. My job is to admit every former Confederate state into the Union as efficiently and as quickly as possible and to make sure they follow the rules.

Attorney General- Thank you for visiting the Attorney General webpage. I’m Byron Peng, the Attorney General. I’m in charge of the enforcement of laws and the admittance of states back into the Union. My job is to admit every former Confederate state into the Union as efficiently and as quickly as possible and to make sure they follow the rules. I've designed my policies to be lenient enough so that the Confederate states would readily come back into the Union, but harsh enough so they know they made a mistake by seceding. This would help with Reconstruction by placing the states back under Union influence for further construction. My policies would require that 1/3 of the population will swear allegiance to the Union in order for the state to be admitted. Also, all states must accept occupation of Union soldiers for up to twelve years. Martial law will be declared in all places that is unruly and does not follow the rules. All races must be given the power to vote. No lynching will be allowed, unless you want to be captured and placed in jail. I believe that if every state rejoins the Union and willingly follows the rules, than the US would be one level stronger than it used to be.
