Disunited

Due to a prolonged War of 1812, America's navy is demolished. The Hartford Convention idea that New England should secede from the United States is put into play. State leaders cooperate on strict conditions, and the Hartford Convention of 1817 ends with the region of New England seceding from the United States of America. James Monroe loses the election to John Quincy Adams by a margin of five electorates. Monroe's popularity was fading due to his mishandling of the already long-lost War of 1812. John Quincy Adams originally wanted to annex New England back, but decided against it and instead pushed for economic and military alliances to aid both countries in reconstruction efforts.

In 1836, following the successful Texan War of Independence, Texas elects its first president, Mirabeau Lamar, against Sam Houston in a landslide. Lamar was able to gain much support after running a massive slander campaign against Houston. Texas decides not to apply for statehood. President Lamar, over the course of his term, ratifies border agreements with Mexico and the United States to keep peace.

In 1848, Lewis Cass, campaigning on the annexation of New England and military intervention fo the liberation of Canada. Due to an electorate tie vote against Zachary Taylor, the House of Represenatives appoints Lewis Class to be president. On his first day in office, Lewis Cass orders the Invasion of New England and sends troops into Canada to fight British Forces. The Invasion of New England is quickly propelled due to an influx of troops to the border after the American election. All remaining troops from the failed invasion of New England are sent to aid the Liberation of Canada. Although the Liberation is called off following the horrendous Battle of Ottowa, a popular uprising inspired by American efforts in 1852 grants Canada and Quebec their independence five years later.

In 1860, Abraham Lincoln won the presidential election. As in the OTL, the Confederate States of America secedes from the Union. Weakened by the failed wars only a decade ago, the USA puts on a pathetic offensive to conquer the CSA. In 1862, Abraham Lincoln is killed in a surprise attack on the capital, in which a street corner near the border on which Lincoln is riding on in his carriage, is firebombed. In the confusion, the Civil War is formally brought to an end in 1863, following the writing of a lengthy peace treaty between the two countries.

In 1874, Mormons who had been trying desperately since 1849 to create their own state, decided they had had enough of failed Congressional hearings, and rebelled to create their own nation, free of American control. Capitalizing off of the wear and tear of recent wars, the Mormons pushed out American forces from Utah and declared independence. President Ulysses Grant decided not to impose a total invasion of the region, fearing it would spark rebellion in further areas of the country. Instead, the United States did not recognize the Republic of Deseret as a country until 1879, when American president Sam Tilden recognized it as an independent state.
