History
The Kingdom of Vespuccia had slavery present in most of its history. Descendants of Africans were treated as property and as less than human. The Sino-Soviet Union saw opportunity in their suffering, and in 1950, sent undercover spies to teach the slaves of Louisiana the teachings of Marx and Lenin. One slave in particular named John Carpenter became fanatical with the idea of revolution, and started a revolt in 1957. He successfully got slaves to rise up, and with the help of the Sino-Soviet Union, claimed independence from Vespuccia. The kingdom abolished slavery that same year for fear of more revolts. Carpenter ruled over Louisiana with an iron fist, and began to start a massive tunic cleansing campaign. Former slavers were sent to gulags and executed en masse. Carpenter also tied religion to the laws, making Louisiana into a Voodoo theocracy.
