Second American Revolution (AMPU)

The Second American Revolution was an armed conflict in the United States from 1857 to 1860

The power of wealthy landowners has gotten out of control and the country has had enough when Robert E. Lee is elected President despite losing the popular vote by a wide margin. His effete Southern Cronies have remained in power in the South by keeping the poor divided against eachother, but his election is the last straw for the new Republican party. In Alabama an objectively fraudulent election is called about by Republican leader Frederick Douglas and the Democratic government is overthrown and replaced with a revolutionary administration. The book follows the trials of the Republican leaders like Douglas, Ulysses S. Grant, and Alexander Mackenzie as they overthrow corrupt southern governments and gain support from Midwestern and New England states in rebellion. The book will mainly be about exploring the economic and social issues of the civil war without the issue of slavery, the rise of the modern nation-state, and the exploitation by wealthy land owners that was largely dismantled during this period. ("Republican" in this TL means Social Democrat, as it does in many other countries)
