When the civil war started, it gradually begin to seep inward toward Puerto Rico as the military was mainly focused on annihilating the Confederate States of America. Then, it expanded further into Hispaniola until conquering the entire Greater Antilles. Then, seeping into the Bahamas and the Lesser Antilles, it managed to conquer the Bahamas but didn't annex it.
