Background
Amidst Hitlers rise to power in Europe and temperatures slowly decreasing across the globe America was slowly but surely going into political chaos. Americas political system was unfavorable by the end of the 20s due to the Great Depression and a number of other things.

The South
After the end of the First American Civil War the south never favored the federal government and was almost always a different political ideology from the North and the Pacific states. After the first 3 years Great depression of 1929 the south was looking for a leader to lead them in an oncoming civil war. In the election of 1932 Huey Long ran for Governor of Louisiana under an independent party. Long won with about 76% of the vote.

Long was a controversial governor of Louisiana. It was questioned of he even won or did he rig it. It was concluded he won fair and square. Huey Long planned for the south to come out of the Great depression wealthier than the northern states. Long also started the funding of a 'Private Army Navy and Air Force'. These forces were made to 'keep stability in the south'.

Huey met with the Governors of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia in a private conference of rebelling against the American Government sometime between 1936 and 1938. All of the Governors of these states agreed to make their own Armies Navies and Air forces.

The Pacific States
After the beginning of the great depression in 1929 the Pacific states of Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California all felt to be in a similar position kinda being forgotten about by the Federal Government. The Pacific States' army was not as professional as the US' army and as a result, was mostly made up of local militias who aligned with West Coast Liberalism and the Sacramento government.
