Confederate States of America (1983: Doomsday)

The Confederate States of America was a political entity which existed from 1861 to 1865. It began after several states seceeded from the United States of America over several issues, including slavery and states rights; a Civil War between the CSA and the United States resulted in the CSA's defeat and dissolution.

Post-Doomsday, several entities claimed to be the legitimate successor of the CSA. Among them are:
 * New Montgomery, a rogue city-state located in southwestern Alabama, founded in the 1980s
 * Toccoa, a racist survivor town located in northeastern Georgia
 * Rogue groups of survivalists located along the Florida-Georgia and Florida-Alabama borders; in the Appalachian Mountains; in southern Virginia; in central Kentucky; southern Indiana and southern Illinois; eastern Arkansas; central Texas; and the Oklahoma panhandle
 * And, an attempt to form a "legitimate", non-racist Confederacy in 1984, centered in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. This incarnation of the CSA consisted of the "states" of Alabama (capital in Florence); Mississippi (capital in Corinth); and Tennessee (capital in Adamsville). The fledging nation fell apart in 1989 due to squabbling over various matters, but survivors still live in Adamsville, Corinth, Florence, Muscle Shoals, Savannah, Shiloh, Waterloo and Waynesboro, as well as smaller settlements in the region. Rumors have the survivor city-states banding together once again to stand against the Dixie Alliance that recently liberated the nearby town of Jackson, Tennessee (where most of the racist proponents of the Muscle Shoals CSA fled after it fell apart), or looking to join the Dixie Alliance.
