Free States

The Free States were an organization of anarchists and revolutionaries based out of Eastern Appalachia. After the great war, they attempted to rebuild society based on their idealistic beliefs, but were wiped out in 2096.The movement was revived in December of 2103.
Background
The Free States built their own concrete bunkers before the war, convinced the government was lying about the Vault program. Harpers Ferry was a small tourist town nearby, where members of the movement bought all the supplies they needed, including vast amounts of ammunition. The local populace was suspicious about their motives. The entire thing caught the attention of the Federal Government, which surveyed and documented the Free States members, coercing the residents of Harper's Ferry to hand over information on the movement. It was then that the townspeople realized that the Free States was right about the government. In June 2077, charges were pressed against the leader, Raleigh Clay, and the Free States subsequently seceded from the United States.
The Free Staters weathered through the Great war in their bunkers, eventually emerging and retaking Harpers Ferry as their own a few years down the line. They quickly re-established the town and became a fast-growing community, trading with anyone and everyone. By 2084, they were the most successful trading outpost in Appalachia at the time.
