President Lehman founds the National Guard, a seperate branch of the military dedicated to the protection of New York soil.
 * In Washington, large highways connecting Seattle, Spokane, Tocoma, and Vancouver are built, making the flow of goods in the state easier. Many farmers move to the cities to find jobs.
 * Floridian citizens who believed in slavery attacked the Presidential House in Tallahassee. The Floridian Army was able to attack and push back the rebellers. The rebellion is put down in 13 weeks when the rebellion leaders were captured and shot. The President of Florida adresses the citizen's concerns for the future of Florida's colored people.

This Junta violently puts down all racist groups and any dissenters.
 * Connecticut's economy is almost fully recovered. The military is getting extremely strong. Public schools are built and highway systems a constucted all over the country. The government adopts a policy of freedom, equality and choice.

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. He imeadiatley passes many reforms to the military dicatatorship. He officially scraps the old constitution and creates a new one that has the Junta formed of 20 Generals apointed by the President and 20 elected by the people. 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.
 * New York President Lehman travels to Berlin to try to get financial and military aid from Chancellor Hitler. The two dictators find that they have much in common, and a trade agreement is reached.

1938

 * 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. The convention draws together a new constitution that satifies both the citizen's and the military's desires. 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 government imitates their German allies, and starts preaching racial superiority. All Jews are forced to carry special ID whereever they go. 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. The nation's farms have been collectivized, destroying the powerful plantation owners who thrived under King George's rule. Virginian Premier Steele's diplomatic maneuvering helps give stronger realtions with their Soviet allies.
 * The Connecticut military is expertly trained and is one of the best equipted and trained in the world. The president opens up the borders to the Jews and Blacks facing oppression in New York. Connecticut offers to join California in the iac.
 * In Georgia, President Talmadge declares that "It was God's will that the South rise again". Talmadge calls for the other southern states to join with Georgia in forming a new Confederacy. With Georgia's thriving economy (96% employed) and strong military, Talmadge's words are taking seriously by many in the south.
 * Ohio's unemployment rate is now down to 6% and President Bricker and Secretary of War Robert Taft start to look to expand their nation. President Bricker also annouces that Ohio will join the IAC.

1939

In responce the Commander-in-Chief sends Florida Army groups into high KKK areas who attack and kill over 1,000 KKK members without a trial.The President disaproves of the violent methods but does nothing much more than talk with him in private about it, it seems to change nothing.
 * Connecticut's population grows with the influx of Jews and Blacks escaping from New York. Connecticut still offers to join the IAC.

He offers membership to Florida, California, Washington and any other nation will to stand up for equality and freedom.
 * Arizona requests membership in the IFO. They also offer the Jews and Blacks from New York safe haven. The Government also pass laws making segregation illegal.
 * Nevada is still in a state of Martial Law. During the Marital Law the congress gives more power to the President which will make the Pesident a dictator. There is growin unease within the nation of Nevada. The President also orders all communication outside of Nevada to be illegal. Nevada close off all roads, cutoff the rails that lead in. 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.
 * Michigan lays down the parts for its first aircraft carrier, the MSS Detroit, its built upon the foundation of an ocean liner, and carries 50 aircraft.

 * Connecticut accepts Arizona's, Virginia's, Washington's and Illonois's membership offers, they are now proud members of the IFO. The first order of business is what to do with New York's bigotry and fortification of it's borders.

Planes also patrol the borders.The Navy starts to build aircraft carriers and instate them in their fleets.
 * The Washington Air Force is greatly expanded, with the Boeing Company producing a lot of aircraft for Washignton. Boeing also produces 30 civilian aircraft. The runways in major cities are improved upon. The merchant fleet is a great success, brining Washington tons of money. Washington is nearly out of the Depression.
 * After a huge border dispute involving Charlotte and increased hostilities from South Carolina, North Carolina invades South Carolina.
 * 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 delegates say that Florida will only except if thier is a Junta and the abolishment of slavery. Alabama refuses and Florida walks out. The remaining states form the United Republic. They quickly establish a constitution based on Alabama's that allows slavery and has a Chancellor with near absolute powers but that is elected every 2 years. They establish a capital at Montgomery.
 * 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. The President of Florida condems the action and tries to pass a bill in the Senate to over-turn this new law but it doesn't pass by one vote. 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. They build new fortifications on their new southern border, and leave the orginal southern fortifications in place as a second line of defense.
 * Refuges from Nevada have been coming into Arizona and putting a strain on the country. The refuges are telling stories of people disappearing which have become slaves regardless of race. There are also stories of people being forced into cities. Arizona may have to invade Nevada. The Government of Arizona contacts California and the IFO of the possible invasion into Nevada. Utah, New Mexico asks to be with Arizona. Arizona accepts. Arizona is now called the Arizona Republic with the capital in Phonenix. There is talk of changing the country name again if 2 or more states join the Arizona Republic.
 * Ohio and Indiana form the Federal States of America with John Bricker as President and James Watson as Vice President.
 * PLEASE KEEP EXPANSION PLASIBLE. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO ANNEX AN ENTIRE STATE IN ONE TURN.

The military also swells with the influx of military personel, planes, ships, and other military equiptment and facilities including factories, shipyards and bases. The Fortification line is extended to fit the new borders. Connecitcut proposes to create a military arm for the IFO to other member nations.
 * Arizona accespt Connecitcuts proposal. Arizona also prorposes of a free trade within the IFO with low tariffs. The Scorpoion Division ranks increase with the addition of Utah and New Mexico. With more refugees coming from Nevada, Arizona draws up plan for a quick lighting strike. Arizona notifies California and the IFO in what they are planning.

They are making grizzly discoveries. Mass graves, small towns are gone. Factories with slave labor. Starvation throughout the state.

 * FSA President Taft calls on all the nations of the Americas to stand as one against the growing threat of communism. Taft also warns that the evil of slavery in the South must be resisted. Taft calls for a united stand the twin evils of slavery and communism. Taft's speech is well received in the FSA and the mid-west, but in the south the response is surprising in that many southerns agree that slavery should not have been re-established. Many abolition clubs are formed across the old US (including the south) and Taft is considered to be a leader in speaking out for freedom and justice.
 * The Washington military rolls over the boder into Oregon. 24 hours later Oregon surrenders and becomes part of Washington. Workers are quickly sent over to improve the ragged economy.

The Republican Army puts down a revolt by communist in Georgia, it is viciously put down using chemical weapons.
 * The New Yorkers were intent on supporting Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union. ANd the last time I checked it was the United Republic who allowed slavery, not the FSA. The United Republic is a gang of greedy evil slavers, and anything you say to the contrary is a lie.
 * Why are you in South Carolina? It was annexed by Carolina a while ago.
 * Sorry you didn't update the thing at the top of the page to show what you've got so I didn't know. Next time please update the top part  so everyone knows who's got what.

 * The United Republic has gotten too big too fast. It's time to take them out before they go after our lands. Implausible (and not to mention evil) behavior like that done by the evil UR must be stopped immediately.
 * Name one, just one implausibility that whould justify bringing the entire gang upon me. You and i both know that before Dr.King the South whould've loved to bring the blacks back into slavery. If anything I've been nicer then what whould've happened as I've at the very least given them decent human rights and made a free black the equal to a white man. And if you truley don't like it that much talk to me about it, don't just come out o' the blue and attack me and declare I'm the scum of the Earth. Seriously you talked about me being a bully for picking on Virginia because of it communisim yet you step out and "bully" me and to "taking the fun out of playing this game".
 * What free Blacks are you speaking of? Whenever your damn United Republic found blacks in its territory they immediately enslaved them. They didn't even blink an eye at enslaving a Floridian college professor! I could probably count the free blacks in the UR on one hand! 
 * New York agrees to the armistace. Spies are sent to the United Republic's capitol in Montgomery. A bomb is planted in the Capitol Building. It explodes killing while the Congress is in session.

 * New York don't say your a high and mighty prince you #1 sold slaves to the slavers, #2 you allied with the people who killed 11 million people in some of the most wretched ways possible, #3 you also implemented racial laws.
 * No one outside of Germany (especially in America) knows about the Holocaust. And with the war going the way it's going likely no one ever will know.
 * P.S. it a Junta not a Congress
 * The United Republic is still an evil gang of racsist slaveholders. If I had an atomic bomb I'd immediately use it on the cesspool of evil that is Montgomery.
 * My racial policies are at worst an analog for segregation. You on the other hand had the inexplicable (not to mention stupid) idea to turn the clock back to 1860. How the hell is that plausible in any way?
 * Ever heard of the KKK, or pershaps the numerous ways that the southerners tried to stop blacks from doing most anything from voting to using the restroom.
 * The ASA takes over Oklahoma. With what is going on with United Republics they send the Scorpion Division on the borders of Kansas and Oklahoma waiting for the United Republic to make the first move. The ASA also notifiies the IFO that they will support any action against the United Republics. They also send spies to the UR with hopes so stirring up trouble within the country. The Government of ASA asked some people to form a professional baseball league and a professional football league. The Government figures it would improve moral within the country and to show there is some sense of normalcy within the country despite in what is going on with the United Republics. ASA asks a some companies to develop jet aircraft to increase the strengh of the Allied State Air Force.

Spies in New York bomb the Empire State Building which falls and crush many people and other buildings, one of the men crushed was the New York Secretary of State who was vacationing in New York.
 * The Chancellor died with your damn Junta.
 * I think you need a hug.
 * I think the time for diplomacy ended when you bombed civilians. You destroyed a national landmark! I'm going to enjoy ripping your abomination of a country to shreds.
 * You pissed off pretty much half of the former United States. Your nation is going down.
 * So you don't want a hug?
 * The UFSS officially annexes Minnesota into the UFSS as a state, and moves up part of its military along the Mississippi River. Meanwhile, they also denounce their claim on FSA territory, at least for now.

They can have the northern porition of Idaho and a treaty provided they give Allied States southern portion in what was called Oregon to the Pacific coastline. So far there has been rapid progress in jet aircraft development, but President Maw feels they should do it more privately. He opens a top secret military base on the border of Nevada and Utah. That is where all of the top secret development take place. On the UR and Allied State border it is rather tense. It is only a matter of when there is war between the Allied States and United Republic.
 * Connecticut captures all of Maine. The former state and it's population is peacfully integrated into the Connecticut Republic. Schools, highways and railroads are built and their economy fixed. The Maine people love the republic. Connecticut asks the rest of the IFO member states what they want to do about the United Republic. Their jet engines are being developed well. The first rocket is devloped and made called the R-1. It is tested succesfully. The President orders the R-1 into production. But made sure it doesnt fall into the wrong hands.
 * The envoy from the ASA floats this proposal. The countries from the IFO will do a premptive assault on the UR. The ASA will take over Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana while the UR will either be disabaned or a weaker state run by representives from the IFO until a different Government is created.
 * A representative from New York crashes the meeting. They promise to stop their disciminatory policies against the Jews if they are allowed to fight against the United Republic. This was caused by the outrage created by the UR's dastardly attack on the Empire State Building. Which still stands, albeit in a shrunken state. The reconstruction of the Empire State Building started immediately after the evil UR's attack.
 * A United Republic representitive also crashes the meeting by entering the room with 20 Republican Army troops for his protection. He states that the United Republic is prepared to abolish slavery if the IFO doesn't attack attack the the United Republic. The Republican Army on the borders of the country prepare for war and create huge amounts of defensive lines more imprevious the the lines at OTL Kursk. The Chancellor mobilizes more troops to guard the border and allows thousands of 88mm anti-tank guns to the border as well.
 * How can we trust you to follow through if your representative has to come in with soldiers? I don't . And nothing will stop me from getting my vengance for the innocent people you killed. None of your government officials were, by any definition, innocent.

They also ask California and Texas to join the Allied States. They offer Washington a treaty. The treaty will allow citizens of both countries to travel freely without a passport and low trade tariffs. They also offer the same treaty to UFSS. The Allied States is thinkning about Connecticut proposal within the IFO about the UR issue. The first jet prototype was deployed called the X-1. The X-1 testing was successful, but President Maw thinks there should be more testing done. Wyoming asks to join the Allied States and Allied States accepts.
 * The United Republic begins a jet project and in 6 months have a working prototype of the F-87 Scimitar. The Chancellor of the United Republic to attempt to wean the country off of slavery gives a 20% tax on slaves and initiates popular soviergnty for slavery in each of the states. The states of Florida, Georgia, and Missouri outlaw slavery and all slaves in thoes states are granted freedom and branded with an F on their hand.

 * The UFSS sends soldiers into Missouri to make it into a new Federation state.
 * United Repubic occupies Missouri. 
 * The results of Virginia's first five-year plan, delayed by the American War, come in. The nation's economic growth has exceeded all government expectations.

Most of these movements support the democratic expansion of communism. Members of the United Republic's (secret) communist party begin petitioning the government for a return to democracy.
 * The New York government agrees to officially end the presecution of the Jewish population of New York. Unofficially there is still a heavy air of anti-semitism in New York, which is likely to continue for years to come. New York President Lehman officially resigns as President of New York. Vice-President Collins is sworn in as President of New York. Hamilton Arms unveils the HR-47 (Hamilton Rifle model 1947). It is a heavily modified form of Germany's STG-44 rifle.

The Freedom Line is completed. A new type of gun is made called the assault rifle. The FFSA version is called the AR-49, ( similar to OTL M-16). By the first few months after designing it is now standard in the army and marines and most units are equipted with it.
 * Why couldn't you have called yourself something other than that? How creative is it to effectively call yourself an heir to the United States when there are allready half a dozen nations with similar names? The Republic of New England is a much more creative name.
 * Then I guess you don't like the name Allied States of America. 
 * Washington begins to build several scientific research stations in northeastern Washington. The goal of the stations is to research into everything, from rocketry to rock formations.
