Second Confederate Republic

The Second Confederate Republic, commonly known as the Confederacy or the SCR, is a federal republic consisting of 17 states and located in the former United States' southern region. The Confederacy gained independence from the United States in 2040 during the nation's dissolution. The Confederacy has over 130 million people and is over 1 million square miles in area.

History
The Confederacy was originally a part of the United States of America. 6 Confederate states were a part of the original 13 British Colonies, and some states were originally owned by France and Mexico.

In 1861, the Confederacy seceded from the United States for the first time at the start of the American Civil War because they still wanted to own slaves. The original capital of the Confederacy was Richmond, Virginia, and the President was Jefferson Davis, a former U.S. Senator from Kentucky. However, the Confederacy collapsed in 1865 and was annexed back into the United States.

The southern United States for over 150 years, until the Californian Revolution, which led to the secession of western states and the establishment of the Republic of California, started the dissolution of the United States.

Secession
The Confederacy gained their independence during the dissolution of the United States, an event that split the United States into three separate nations. After the Californian Revolution, the United States sold Alaska to Canada and granted independence to Hawaii.

On January 1, 2040, the United States Congress made their final act as a legislative body by approving the dissolution of the United States, and therefore granting the Confederacy its independence. Later that day, President Tom Griffin dissolved Congress as his final act as President of the United States, and then resigned the presidency.
