Battle of Newark (September 2024)

The battle of Newark of 2024 was a combined arms military invasion by the Confederate States of America into Seaboard-controlled Newark, New Jersey. The battle was pivotal in the engagement of the splinter Confederate States Corps led by General Wright, as it marked the first time in full confrontation the Confederate Army had suffered a defeat. The original goal of the invasion was to sever naval supply lines as well as capturing the city.
The invasion was planned and quickly carried out after McGuire Air Force Base was secured by the Confederate Army. Commanded by Second General Wright, through the month of September, a series of advances were carried out into Newark. Ultimately, after a partially-failed aerial attack and ill-fated ground invasion, General Wright called for a retreat. This marked the first time that the Confederate States had been defeated in a large-scale battle.
The Confederate loss of the Battle of Newark meant that Seaboard General Russel, who led the defense, was successful in his thwarting of the Northeastern invasion. Subsequent Confederate attacks were directed more inland, away from vital trade hubs and populated metropolitan areas.
