## **Economy**

The C.S. uses the Confederate Dollar. It is the World's chief exporter and source of Cotton.

## **History**

### **Origins**

The United States, even from its early days, was ultimately far more divided than it let on. The unity that existed under the almost divine Founding Fathers, exemplified by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Richard Saunders, and John Adams quickly gave way to ever-increasing political divides. From as early as the Martin administration, northern states that had abolished slavery and favored industrial tariffs found themselves at odds with their southern, agrarian neighbors who built their economies on slave labor and free trade. The earliest sign these divergent interests would provoke a war was the 1830’s Nullification Crisis, which was successfully weathered by President Simon Suggs, but the divide remained. In fact, the divide would only widen in the years to come, as the great men who were able to pursue satisfactory compromises (such as Daniel Webster, a man so persuasive he out-argued the Devil himself) passed away and abolitionist sentiment grew. Initially relegated to fringe figures like short-lived President Quentin Trembley, soon abolitionist sympathies became widespread across the north. In the 1850’s, this led to widespread support for acts of slave insurrection, including John Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry and the Henry Blake uprising. These incidents sparked widespread fear amongst southerners, but to the growing number of northern abolitionists, these were acts of liberation. An increasingly alienated south thus would respond to the election of the anti-slavery candidate Abraham Lincoln the only way left to them: secession from the Union.

### **The War of Northern Aggression/The War of Southron Independence**

In 1861, the southern, slave-owning states of the United States of America seceded from the Union to form the Confederate States of America (C.S.A.) after Republican Abraham Lincoln was elected president in the 1860 election, due to fears over the abolition of the ownership of Negro slaves. The C.S.A. engaged with the Union in "The War of Northern Aggression" also known as the War for Southron Independence. The C.S.A. was successful thanks to several great Generals, however they also had assistance from both Vampires and a group Time Traveling Afrikaners from Draka who lied and told the Confederates of a dark future if they lost, providing them with AK47s. Another time traveller, Wesley McCulloch, attempted to provide the C.S. with a German World War II Sten submachine gun but was thwarted by another time traveller.

In late 1861, the United Kingdom got involved in the Southern rebellion on the side of the Confederacy in the wake of the Trent Affair and Queen Victoria blaming the Union for the death of Prince Albert. At the start of 1862, the Union attempted to win a decisive victory against the Confederacy before British reinforcements arrived in the Americas at the Battle of Culpeper, but failed miserably due to the awful leadership of George B. McClellan(though he hd previously prevented a Confederate Victory thanks to the ghost of George Washington warning him). Robert E.Lee's Special Order 191, while nearly lost(in fact a group of time travellers would steal the order to see that it was lost), was successfully delivered and a surprise attack resulted in a Confederate victory at the battle of Antietam and Battle of Camp Hill on September 17 1862, resulting in McClellan's death. Keystone and Kentucky are taken by the Confederacy.

Confederate President Jefferson Davis sent Judah P. Benjamin overseas to persuade the United Kingdom and France to aid the South. The United Kingdom agreed and sent a fleet over, resulting in a short Navel battle between the US and UK. The Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863 was a costly Confederate Victory. On July 3, 1863, a group of American Indians from various tribes, led by a Sioux shaman known as "Raven," performed a ritual in an effort to drive out the European settlers known as the "Reckoning" which caused the undead at Gettysburg to rise up as zombies, undead gunslingers, hostile Indian spirits, strange cults, and deadly creatures terrorized the world. Until a mass purge by both sides.

Afterwards, Lee marched his forces on Washington D.C. with his Time travelling South's Afrikaner allies. The city residents panicked and a mob nearly broke into the White House. To the surprise of the Confederates, Lincoln surrendered on the White House Lawn. The Union surrendered on April 9 1864. Months later, July 4 1864 became known as Southron Independence Day.

Several post war events followed including the capture and execution of abolitionist Harriet Tubman witnessed by Lincoln from his cell in Fortress Martin, Virginia. Lincoln was pardoned by President Davis and released where he became an advisor in the US, leading to the rise of a Socialist party and the eventual collapse of the Republican Party. Lincoln died at the age of 96 in 1905. In an interview shortly before his death, Lincoln lamented his failure to abolish slavery but also his hope the Colored people of the C.S. would gain independence, but regretted he would not live to see it.

### **Reconstruction**

The First trial held in the C.S. was that of J.E.B. Stuart for causing a Confederate defeat in a crucial battle that could have ended the war earlier. During the trial, On August 14 1866, The Abolitionist group "Amistad"led by the son of abolitionist John Brown, Salmon Brown, bombed the Confederate White House. killing many Confederate Leaders including Judah P. Benjamin, P.G.T. Beauregard and Stuart, the last of which died taking a bullet for Lee. The Amistad group was killed, including Salmon Brown. However, Amistad was replaced by another Black activist group "Abraham". Abraham Lincoln became a wanted criminal for supposed ties and a big deal was made when he was caught hiding in black face but he proved no connection to the organization sharing his name(though this did inspire the early silent film *The hunt for Dishonest Abe*). These attacks forced the Confederate Government to begin considering changing its attitude towards the black population.

Jefferson Davis moved into the former U.S. White House with the District of Columbia renamed to the District of Dixie. The US moved their own White House with now President Asa Trenchard commissioning its construction but his term ending before its completion. States began choosing whether of not they would join the U.S. or C.S. A new state for Indians was created in the form of Sequoyah within the C.S. Davis's term would end on February 22nd 1868(The Confederate Presidency did not allow a second term). Lee was convinced to run for President. The Afrikaners convinced Benjamin "Forrest" Cameron to run in opposition but he would be defeated, afterwards swearing loyalty to Lee. Lee discovered the Afrikaners had lied to him. The Time Travellers then tried to kill Lee at his inauguration, killing his family and Vice President. Lee led a violent siege on the Time traveller's camp, eventually overtaking it.

Confederate propaganda spread news of Samuel A. Cartright's discovery of a disease that compelled slaves to run away(while this disease truly existed its outreach was exaggerated at the time from a handful of Slaves to All Slaves). As revenge for the UK's assistance of the South, the US invaded Canada, excluding the Russian colony of Alaska, which Russia attempted to sell to the US, but the war left the Nation too poor to accept the deal. A War with the UK broke out, until Frederick Douglas convinced the Prime Minister of Canada, Sir Henry Marwood, to accept escaped Slaves, ending the war with Canada's surrender. Opponents of slavery formed an organization known as the "National Association for the Advancement of Chattel People" (N.A.A.C.P.).

Lee was able to end Slavery, using the Future's condemnation of the institution taken from history books brought back in time by the Afrikaners. He was always against Slavery but the history books condemnation, and attacks by groups like Amistad convinced the Confederate government to agree to this. However, Lee failed to prevent the Southern Congress's imperialist tendencies.

The C.S. began forming itself as a nation, Outlawing All non-Christian religions with the exception of Judaism due to Former President Jefferson Davis citing the crucial contribution of now deceased Jewish Judah P.Benjamin.

### **The Second War Between the States**

The C.S.A. finished Reconstruction and embarked on an expansionist campaign to claim the Western Hemisphere as part of their "Golden Circle". Emperor Maximillian of Mexico, who had been placed in power by Napoleon III in exchange for helping the confederacy, was strapped for Cash and sold Mexican territory to the C.S. The South's expansion angered US President James Blaine and sparked a war in 1881, which the South won thanks to Generals such as Stonewall Jackson and its alliances with France and the UK. The South was prevented from invading the U.S. by its allies, who saw the C.S. as a weaker nation in need of being protected from a stronger one, which would be violated if they invaded the U.S. The C.S. briefly reinstituted Slavery during the war but would be forced to end the practice when the UK and France refused to help unless they abolished slavery. The C.S. did so under President Le Petomane, seen as a progressive due to having elected a black sheriff during his time as governor, though blacks still lived in Apartheid like conditions and were not allowed surnames. The U.S. realized it needed powerful European Allies as well and chose the newly formed Germany. President Blaine's ousting from Office led to the end of the Republican Party, though Lincoln and other would be Republicans shifted to form the Socialist party.

In the Mexican territory Confederate Cities such as Washington-Baltimore and Leesburg(formerly Mexico City) were built in the newly acquired areas and came to eclipse cities like New York. When the Vampire Count Dracula usurped control of Britain in 1885, the CS was threatened with the loss of an important ally, a situation resolved with the election of the Vampire Lestat De Lioncourt to the role of CS President.

### **Spanish-Confederate War**

From 1895 to 1898, the Confederacy went to war with Spain, in wha tthey called a "Splendid Little War" given the easiness of it to the CS and the territory gained, and seized and annexed Tropico, though after the war's end they would strike a deal and outright purchase it, paying back its entire worth. The flamboyant Rel Stuart, son of Jeb Stuart, born in 1867, had a major role in this war and was eventually the first governor of the State of Tropico The C.S. then took Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Alola and the rest of the Caribbean islands during the Spanish–Confederate War, then moved on to claiming territory in Mexico and Central America. The Confederates imposed "Juan Crow"" laws in their conquered territories to divide Hispanics from Confederate settlers and Chinese and African property; and while they believed in an ordained and divine quest reminiscent of Manifest destiny for world domination, conquest of South America proved highly difficult due to the intensity of the will of the South Americans to stay independent from the invading Confederates. Soon the Confederacy expanded to encompass the whole of Latin America.

### **The Great War**

The Assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand triggered World War I in 1914. The C.S. under Woodrow Winthrop quickly moved to help its allies France and the U.K. while the U.S. under Theodore Roosevelt moved to aid its new ally: Germany. This naturally brought the two into conflict. The C.S. were confident in a third victory but they overlooked several problems. The many victories had left the country spoiled while the U.S. had been hardened by their defeats. They had also not produced another great General like Robert E.Lee or Stonewall Jackson while the US had veterans of the second war such as Roosevelt and George Custer. Sure they had Rel Stuart but he would not be enough on his own. George Custer devised a new invention which won a decisive victory for the U.S. in the war, the invention of the "Barrel" a large heavy and destructive but slow machine. Despite a Mormon rebellion in Deseret and the U.S. and the black led "Red rebellion" in the C.S., The U.S. emerged victorious and joined the war In Europe. The madman Prescott, attempted to conquer both the Union and the Confederacy with advanced technology and form what he called the "American Empire" but was killed by Captain Hamilton Rourke. The Clanker Powers achieved a victory with the U.K. and France surrendering. Despite being on the Victor's side, the Ottoman Empire was invaded by the Draka after committing the Armenian Genocide(these two events being coincidental), and itself obliterated. The Clankers referred to themselves as the German Union(Germany and the Osterlich-Zubrowkan Empire).

### **Post War**

Both the U.S. and the C.S. faced heavy political changes. In the U.S. Roosevelt was tragically killed personally stopping a Chicago Worker's riot with the Rough Riders when he was shot by Sharpshooter and exhibitionist Annie Oakley. Roosevelt's Vice President Charles Foster Kane assumed power but quickly cemented himself as a tyrant, condemning the former defeated C.S. President Winthrop to death in one of his own prototype Euthanization chambers. Kane was overthrown and executed and replaced by Socialist David Israels. Israels suddenly died in 1921, leaving Jurgis Rudkus to serve as his successor until a violent takeover by Tony Camonte in 1926 forced Rudkus to flee the country. After the death of Israels, the name of the U.S. Capital was changed from Washington D.C. to Israels D.C. as Southern Founding Fathers had become unpopular post Civil War. The U.S. became the U.S.S.A.(United Socialist States of America).

In 1929, both the U.S. and C.S. were hit by an economic crash. The C.S. started the Slave trade again with slaves from Draka. This unhappiness led to the rise of Jake Featherston, a Great War veteran who rose in the ranks of the Freedom Party, and expressed his hatred of Minorities, claiming the C.S. was "Stabbed in the Back" by such groups and their betrayal led to the C.S. defeat. His voice was heard over a new invention called the Wireless, and he gained followers and political power until he was elected President and began molding the government to make himself a Dictator. This went ignored by most in the U.S.S.A. government despite warnings from former First Lady Flora Blackford.

### **1930s**

The U.S.S.A. would not be any better off as Joe Steele, the son of Russian Immigrants rose to the Presidency by killing his competition, Peter Varney in a house fire. Steele then began his Four year plan of fixing the Government. The 1936 Election escalated into a Five way American Civil War when Steele was viewed as a tyrant. In Addition to Steele and Featherston, the likes of

 The Superhero Superman also appeared and was championed as a hero of the common worker. The CS immediately began efforts to create Superhero of their own named Hyperman. Steele killed or arranged the disappearances or exile of many of his political enemies such as Willie Stark, Stephen Wayne, Phillip Dru and Berzelius Windrip. Steele overlooked the C.S. remilitarizing and formed a non aggression pact with Featherston, content that the C.S. Leader would not break it. The dying Kaiser Wilhelm I of Germany warned Steele not to trust Featherston. Allegedly he called in a Sergeant Hynkel and asked him what he would do if he was Featherston. Hynkel told the two he would break the pact and invade. Hynkel also expressed racist views towards Jews and Arztozkan people which General Irving Rommel compared to Featherston's views. Featherston built several camps which saw the genocide of many Blacks throughout the C.S. in one of history's worst atrocities, which Featherston called "Reducing Population".

### **World War II**

Featherston would launch a surprise invasion of the U.S.S.A. in 1941, starting the Second World War. France and the U.K. attacked Germany. The resulting war was much more bloody than the Great War, with Ohio becoming a stalemate, as it sat between the two nations. The C.S. relied on Generals like Benjamin Forest Cameron III and George Patton to win several crushing victories. Patton proved the most deadly of these generals and the U.S. quickly rushed to find an equal to him, finding it in Irving Rommel. The U.S.S.A. would be attacked by the Japanese Empire, forcing it to fight a war on two fronts. Flora Blackford discovering and exposing the atrocities of Featherston's camps did nothing to the desensitized U.S.S.A.

The End of the War in Europe came when Germany, thanks to Jewish Scientist Albert Einstein, and Ixanian scientists like Dr.Strangelove, invented the Super Bomb and destroyed major cities like Petrograd, Russia, Paris and London. Other nations quickly rushed to retaliate but were unsuccessful. Forcing, the U.K., France, Russia, and Draka to surrender. The C.S. used their own prototype Super Bomb on the U.S.S.A. capitol, though the destruction was greatly reduced and there was no radiation. The War would be ended by the start of another. the Aliens known as the Race invaded South America and Africa. In Africa they were held back by the Draka and Wakanda, but in South America, they battled Hugo Hercules and his race of Supermen allied with the C.S. The Confederate Capitol was bombed. Featherston was believed killed and intended to go into hiding, resuming the war through Guerrilla Warfare until he was discovered by a group of Blacks who recognized his voice from the Wireless and gunned him down.

After the war Texas seceded. Plans were made to reabsorb the C.S. unto the U.S.

### **1950s**

During the 1950s, the C.S.A. suffered the effects of another group against Segregation called "Abolitionism" and violent attacks from a splinter group of the N.A.A.C.P. called the "John Brown Underground" (J.B.U.). The U.S.S.A. erected a border barrier wall along the C.S. called the "Steele Curtain" in the U.S.S.A. and the "Cotton Curtain" to the other powers, since it prevented goods such as Cotton from being exported elsewhere from the C.S. In 1952, Hodgins "Hodge" McCormick Backmaker traveled in time to prevent a Southern victory. It is unknown if he succeeded by altering the Course of the Battle of Little Round Top or simply traveled to an alternate Universe. If this is a case then he created the Universe in which the Union won, and paradoxically the Afrikaners traveled back in time to alter the Civil War to allow a Southern Victory. Joe Steele's adoptive son "Superman" was intended to be his successor. His other adoptive son, Peter Ross, became jealous and poisoned Steele. Superman could not save him or some say that he instead killed Stalin himself. After the death, Superman took steps to reintroduce democracy into the U.S. the first election since Steele was John Lindsay against Charles W.Follette. Lindsay emerged victorious despite what a misprint in the News had many believe. Lindsay proposed the "Lindsay Doctrine", strengthening the U.S. relationship with Germany, allowing the two to police the world and work towards preventing France, Japan and Russia from obtaining Superbombs.

## **Culture**

The South's history of Racism towards Africans and this survived the end of Slavery, taking the form of Segregation. the National Anthem of the South is the song "Dixie" which was ironically composed by a Northerner.The C.S. outlawed all non-Christian religions; after much debate, Roman Catholicism was accepted as a Christian religion. Originally, Judaism, too, was outlawed. The C.S. allowed some Jews to remain on a reservation
