History[]
In May 1939, the Independent Convention of the Confederation, established by the leadership of Communist Party of the Confederacy (CPC) with fellow delegates made up of different anti-government forces, took place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Those factions realized that none of them would individually have any kind of majorities, so they merged to form the Popular Front under lawyer Clifford Durr.
The Popular Front led the Socialist Confederacy to victory at the Confederate Civil War in 1943, establishing there a totalitarian Marxist-Leninist regime thereafter, with Durr as the first chairman.
In 1978, after 35 years of rule, the regime was finally defeated at the American War and the party was dissolved. It remained banned until 1992, when it reemerged as the new Communist Party of the Confederacy.
