1937

 * Alabama's slave market begins to bring a lot of money for the government with the 10% tax. Many people wish the tax was less but are glad to have slave labour farming for them instead having to hire them nd continously pay them. Alabama funds KKK groups in Florida to terrorize blacks and hispanics in the nation.
 * Washington President Clarence D. Martin passes the Civil Rights Act of 1937, banning all of segregation. This allows more people to enter the workforce, and in turn helps the economy grow. Work begins once again on the Grand Coulee Dam, with a goal of ending construction in 1942. Several hydroelectric dams are built on the Columbia and Snake Rivers.
 * The Florida President is experiences a stroke that paralyzes most of his body. The Junta apoints his son Julius Smith to President.

The President is given near absolute power, the only thing he can not do is appoint his successor, the people vote for the President when the incumbent dies, resigns, or is incapacitated. Many Conservative groups in the state protest the sudden change to a military dictatorship. They are quickly and brutally silenced.

 * Florida protestors of the new government are gunned down by national guardsmen. This triggered a widespread revolt throughout Miami where the shootings occured. The Miami Riots show President Smith that the people wish for a republic and not a dictatorship. He calls together a constitutional convention with people elected by the people out of the 50 spots 25 are military personell who origganly helped Florida capture the Navy and Coast Gurad ships in port, 15 are scientist or philosophers, 4 are veterans of the Great War (WWI) that are extremley popular in thier area, and 6 are mayors from various cities.

It is comprised of 1 senator from every county (67), and the Junta is established by the Commander-in-Chief with 20 members hand selected from the officer corp of the Florida military. The President whould serve as the President of the Senate, the Commander-in-Chief whould serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the military and the Junta.

The Black population is rounded up and sold to Alabama as slaves. President Lehman oficially chooses Seward Bishop Collins as his Vice President.
 * Preliminary results of Virginia's five-year plan show great progress in expanding the nation's economy.

Nevada also blocks any phone wires. The nation of Nevada is truly isolated from the rest of the world.
 * Premier Steele requests membership in the IFO for Virginia, as he says that "everyone is equal in Virginia." He also passes a law making discrimination of all kinds illegal in Virginia.
 * President Lehman denounces the IFO as "a pack of idealistic fools." He signs a bill giving all law enforcement duties to the National Guard. The New Yorkers also heavily fortify their borders to deter any potential IFO expeditions against New York.
 * Washington requests to join the IFO, which most of the population supports. President Martin begins the Puget Sound Militarization Campaign, which would fully militarize the area around Puget Sound in case of a future Japanese attacks.
 * Illinois requests membership into the IFO, and as this occurs they begin to build a navy by laying down a design for a new class of battleships, the government plans to make 8 of them, and makes a large contract with Federal Steel, a company made up of remnants of US Steel that existed with the state before seccession.

 * Georgia declares war on North Carolina and sends 150,000 troops, 300 tanks, and 125 aircraft to aid South Carolina. Most military observers think that it will be a long war since Georgia has a better trained military while North Carolina has a larger manpower pool to draw from.
 * Illinois sends a message to every nation in former America, saying unless they united militarily some way, Germany may invade them. Meanwhile, they continue to make progress in building up their navy.
 * Michigan accepts Illinois' offer, and mobilizes their army with Illinois into what's called the Confederated American Expeditionary Force.
 * Alabama sends Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana a letter of unification. They all respond and meet in Montgomery, AL.

 * Florida becomes worried of the new nation to thier North and sets up a defensive line along thier entire northern border, much like the Maginot Line. The Commander-in-Chief of Florida signs a bill that replaces law enforcement with the National Guard.

Julius Smith resigns 13 days later due to his deteriorating health. The upstart Geroge O'Donald becomes the new Commander-in-Chief.
 * New York annexes the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey after the leaders of the two nations request annexation to New York. The New Yorkers work on improving the weakened economies of the two states.
