November Revolution (From Sea to Shining Sea)

The August Revolution was a coup d'état lead by the American Workers' Party to overthrow the United States government. It took place with an armed rebellion in the city of Washington D.C. on August 23, 1931.

Prelude
In 1930, during the great Depression, American citizens began turning to communism. This lead to the creation of the American Workers' Party, which grew faster than any other political party, soon growing larger than the Republican Party. Under the leadership of Sarah Leslie, the members of this party grew increasingly hostile to the capitalist system and the current government leaders. Eventually, Leslie declared it was time for the eliminate the capitalist system and for the working class to seize the means of production. Gathering supporters in California and Hawaii, Leslie slowly lead party members to Washington D.C. over a six month, while other party members traveled throughout the country, gathering more supporters in each state.

Revolt
On August 23, 1931, party members lead an attack on the White House. A force of over 502,000 people marched through the streets of Washington D.C.. Poorly defended, the White House was taken within minutes and the government officials were sent to prison. Within the Oval Office, Leslie signed the New American Constitution, forming the United Socialist Republics of America.
