Description

With the American Civil War dragging on the USA and the CSA enter a ceasefire agreement in 1866. Slavery continues in the South. Following international pressure slavery is finally abolished in 1896 but instead a harsh regime of racial segregation is set in place.

Economic inequality soars and not all whites are doing well either. With a small elite of large landowners growing more and more wealthy a large impoverished rural proletariat arises. The government of the CSA proves unwilling to remedy the economic inequalities.

The underground Left Socialist Party of the CSA gains popularity among the rural poor and is one of the only places in the South were the races are not segregated. The government of the CSA becomes more and more repressive and violent which only serves to increase the unpopularity of the regime among the working class.

The socialists grow more and more conscious and carries out clandestine attacks on police stations, military bases and other governmental institutions. Finally in 1919 these attacks turn into open revolt. The old regime is unpopular and looses the battles and in 1921 the president flees to Cuba along with most of the elite. This makes way for the proclamation of the Confederate Socialist States of America.
