### Independence (1778-1781)

The American Revolution went very similar to OTL, the only major change was the rising of the Iroquois, who fought side by side with the Continental Army. As well as the Free Tribe revolution, the Revolutionary War was delayed by the Decade War (7 Years War), which ended in a stalemate. The Americans were aided by France, with Spain pursuing an isolated path. The Dutch and Swedes didn't want to lose their own colonies in America. Only France and some isolated Austrian ships from Bordeaux. Due to this, both sides were weakened, and America would be more so in the coming years.

#### The Cherokee War and its ramifications (1790-1802)

After the American Revolution, the nation was quite unstable, among other factors, this would lead to the Cherokee Revolt in the South. Washington ordered *pacification of all Southern tribes* (basically a neat-ass way to say "kill them all"). After this agression, the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole tribes joined the Cherokee, forming the Confederation of Free Tribes. When a small Continental Army settlement in Fort Sumter was captured. The Free Tribes obtained alot of muskets. To avoid the rebellion to spread, Washington fully sued for peace. There was no other choice, yet still this showed the instabillity of the USA and its fragile nature.

#### The Collapse of 1805

After the Cherokee War, what was left of the US's stability was shattered. By then, other nations took the mantle of emerging superpowers. Nations like Mexico, Free Tribes, and New France took that mantle. The final straw came in 1805 after a wheat and coal shortage. The people rioted with the new idea of Jacobinism, Jefferson is forced to resign. A few years later, Thomas Payne takes the wheel. New England broke off, and the first ideals of Black Internationalism flourished in a council in Raleigh.

#### When Push Comes to Shove... (1814)

While Napoleon was pushed to St. Helens island, a nationalistic ferver consumed the American people, the new sentiment was to get the territory from the Adams proposal (basically the starting territory America had after the Revolution). Jackson began rearming the nation and built more and more armies on the border with Mexico. It is clear that a war will begin. The High Command places the start date at 1821.

#### The Oeste Conflict and Its Failure (1821-1825)

To attempt to destroy the Mexicans once and for all, the United States sends its troops into Aldama, The Mexican Army had orders to fire on sight, the attack was repelled, and Mexico has a cassus belli. After two years, the United States have lost half a million men, a quarter of what they had when the war began. As well as having lost Missouri to the Mexicans. The American populace was tired, and began rising up against Jackson's government, the entirety of the army was fighting Mexico. The Jackson government fell, and Jackson himself would be hung. Peace was signed with the new government and America was humiliated once more.

#### The Black People's Liberation Front and New Afrikan War (1830-1840)

To add salt to the wound, not only was America collapsing from the inside, but new nations were flourishing and now wanted independence. The said one in the United States would be the Republic of New Afrika. Several leftist thoughts, now being spread by a certain Karl Marx were planting ideals into the marginalized black population in the United States. The people eventually rise up and fight. The African-American population fights hard, for ten years back and forth conflicts would take place in the Carolinas and Southern Virginia. In 1840, the American government would finnaly through in the towel and surrendered.

#### The Great Interlude and Slow Decline (1850-1900)

For 3 times now, America had been battered, defeated and destroyed from the inside and outside. Now, as everyone grew in the Industrial Revolution, the United States, a nation that had potential to grow to the continent's main power, now collapsed. Hopes dashed as the United States seemed to collapse into a recession. In the last few years of the 19th century, the cruel treated country fell to the iron grips of Oliver O. Howard. In 1900, however, after his fourth re-election, the fragile dictatorship fell, several fighters took up arms and exiled Howard by 1905. America wouldn't stop fighting until 1916, at the beginning of the Great War. The United States was now led by Charles Curtis. He now oversaw reconstructing the destroyed nation by the American Risings.

#### Current Situation (1929)

It is 1920, its been four years since the end of the American Rising, yet the rising left its mark on current American governance. We are currently led by a *chieftan.* He is called Theodore Roosevelt, he is a progressive, but only rose to power by killing those before him. He has pursued isolationism to protect our nation. As well as fighting the far-right.

### Politics

America is still under the bad influence of the Rising. With there still being Citizens' Militas needing to be quelled. There are some parties that have formed a leftist opposition. America's political sphere is the most divided its ever been.

* The Republican Party is the only centrist party on the US's scope. It has 10% popularity and is led by Warren G. Harding. They are the last remaining party from before the Decline.
* The Bull Moose Party or Progressive Party of America (PPA) is a progressive party. It is currently in power, it has 21% popularity, and the candidate for the following elections is Charles Evans Hughes.
* The Party of American Laborers (PAL) is a democratic socialist party (like the og intent of Labour in Britain). It has 29% popularity and is led by Eugene B. Debes.
* The Communist Party of the United States of America - Industrial Workers of the World (CPUSA-IWW) is a syndicalist-communist alliance and has a clear popularity win over all other parties with 40%. It is led by 3 people; William Z. Foster, Earl Browder, and William "Big Bill" Haywood.
