**Confederate History**

Following the secession crisis within the United States, both President Lincoln and President Davis had called for men into active military service and initiated a conflict referred to in most textbooks as the War of Secession, for others the American Civil War or Second American Revolution. Initial skirmishes proved to be indecisive, soon the first major battle being claimed as a CS victory. As the war dragged on through the rest of 1861, the North would become utterly humiliated with repeated series of defeats to numerically and logistically inferior foes. The situation in border states such as Missouri and Kentucky heavily deteriorated, eventually leading to the official secession of Missouri in October of 1861 and Kentucky in January of '62. With the Ohio River now being half held by the secessionists, Northern morale plummeted. In September of 1862, Special Order 191 was initiated by General Eustice George Wyatt of the Army of Northern Virginia, finally taking the war beyond the Potomac River in the east. Caught completely off guard, the Army of the Potomac under General George "Little Mac" McClellan would suffer two decisive defeats at the battles of Sharpsburg and Philadelphia, leading to the encirclement of Washington, D.C. This would cause Congress to force Lincoln to sue for peace alongside British and French diplomatic pressure. The Confederate States of America was officially recognized by most on the faithful day of October 21st, 1862. Thanks to successful operations in the Trans-Mississippi by General Henry Hopkins Sibley, the south is granted the New Mexico Territory as additional compensation. For the rest of the history of the CSA, they would maintain close connection to both France and Great Britain, even assisting them during the Great War through limited volunteers and lend lease. In 1884, under provisions set by President James Longstreet and his allies in Congress, would abolish slavery within the Confederate States. After the decline of the Spanish Empire and their defeat against the Republic of Columbia, they would purchase the colony of Cuba from the Spanish. They would continue to play alongside their allies even during WW2, of which they played a significant role during the African campaign and the liberation of France. Both world wars would allow more cooperation between the two halves of America, encouraging more friendly diplomacy between the governments of Richmond and Philadelphia. Within the 21st millennium the south continues to have steady economic growth. However, amongst the rise of race riots and COVID within 2020, the South continues to be divided politically and culturally. Within later developments in the late 2020s, a new cultural renaissance would respark never before seen grow in writings, paintings, and other arts since the Antebellum years. Since the election of the first female president in 2029, the country readies itself for the rest of the century as an equal amongst its peers.
