Description

    After the resounding Union defeat at Manassas, the Confederates pressed the attack and marched northward. The northern forces attempted to regroup at Arlington, but the disorganized army was utterly smashed there. Confederate troops crossed the Potomac to the west and circled around Washington, entering the city with only sporadic resistance.

    General Beauregard ordered President Lincoln to be captured alive however the president was no-where to be found and never would be heard from again. Many congressmen attempted to flee the capital, some were successful, others were captured or forced into hiding. Those that escaped fled to Philadelphia, the now acting capital of the United States of America.

    But after the capture of Washington, panic engulfed the Union’s army and Confederate forces captured Annapolis, Baltimore and finally Philadelphia, where the remaining Union government was forced to sign a peace treaty.

    The relations between the Confederacy and Union were incredibly tense over the next 40 years; attempting to challenge one another at every opportunity. The Union soon learned that the easiest way to dismantle to C.S.A. would be to tear it apart from within. The Union started to back smuggling operations to arm the slave population inside the Confederacy.

    Two slave uprisings got off the ground thanks to Union support. One in the Carolinas in 1873 and one later in 1899 located in Texas and Louisiana, however they never grew large enough to completely destroy the Confederacy, the shook the country to its core. Texas, in defiance of the Confederate constitution, abolished slavery in 1900, feeling it was too much of a risk. Calls for abolition began to be heard across the country due to mounting international pressure from European powers and the looming threat of a slave rebellion unlike any other.

    That rebellion ultimately came, in April 1903, slaves began their uprising across the Confederacy, from the Savannah to Mississippi Rivers, with the equipment supplied by the Union and aided by abolitionist volunteers from across the Americas and Europe. In fear, Virginia, Arkansas and Indian Territory declare independence from the C.S.A. Texas, also seceded, seeing slavery as the clear cause of the rebellion had having already abolished the practice, Texas had no stake in the fight.

    Virginia suffered a separate internal rebellion due to leaving the Confederacy though failing to abolish slavery. Marxists and Collectivists from Europe backed a coup d’etat against the Commonwealth government, seizing control of the state, resulting in Virginia becoming the first Collectivist country entirely in the Americas . In response, the western counties of the state seceded forming the Republic of Appalachia, which promptly requested protection from the Union to help safeguard its independence.

    A year and a half later, war rages across the south, nearly in a perpetual stalemate, however the Peoples’ Nation has begun to make small gains. Jackson, Mississippi has now been cut off from the core of the C.S.A. and besieged; and the defenses around the historical Confederate capital of Montgomery, Alabama are slowly being chipped away at. More and supplies flow-in from abroad every day to aid the rebellion. While the Confederacy’s supplies steadily dwindles due to the blockade imposed by the Union, with only a trickle of guns, ammo and food being in through Texas into Louisiana, however since the Peoples’ Nation dominates the Mississippi River, getting the supplies to the eastern portions of the country is difficult.  

    Numerous atrocities have been committed by both sides, with entire towns exterminated and then razed to the ground. The United States seeing that the situation ought to be stabilized, prepares for a full scale invasion on the 8th of December, in order to bring conflict to an end by suppressing both sides; and subsequently annexing its lost territories.

    The Confederacy’s days are numbered.
