History[]
American Civil War[]
Confederate troops in Haiti.
On February 22, 1862, the Confederate Constitution of seven state signatories – Mississippi, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas – replaced the Provisional Constitution of February 8, 1861, with one stating in its preamble a desire for a "permanent federal government". Four additional slave-holding states – Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina – declared their secession and joined the Confederacy following a call by US President Abraham Lincoln for troops from each state to recapture Ft Sumter and other seized federal properties in the South.
Missouri and Kentucky were represented by partisan factions adopting the forms of state governments without control of substantial territory or population in either case. The antebellum state governments in both maintained their representation in the Union. Also fighting for the Confederacy were two of the "Five Civilized Tribes" – the Choctaw and the Chickasaw – in Indian Territory and a new, but uncontrolled, Confederate Territory of Arizona. Efforts by certain factions in Maryland to secede were halted by federal imposition of martial law; Delaware, though of divided loyalty, did not attempt it. A Unionist government was formed in opposition to the secessionist state government in Richmond and administered the western parts of Virginia that had been occupied by Confederal troops. Eventually, the CSA successfully defended all areas claimed by them and won the war.
1865-1914[]
The Davis Family of Presidents after the war successfully recovered the CSA. However, by the 1900s, change was needed for the country according to some. Eventually, in 1904, Jefferson Davis VI had appointed what would become the next vice president as an advisor. The following election between Jefferson Davis VI and the young man saw his beginning of vice presidency on January 20, 1909.
Owned territories of the Confederacy until 1918.
His name was Woodrow Wilson. He was fully supported by Jefferson Davis VII, the new president - but over time, Davis VII started to oppose the changes that Wilson started, such as abolishing slavery. Despite this, Wilson continued his reforms without permission. Most advisors in the New CSA as Wilson called it supported Wilson's reforms which caused the reforms to continue.
Eventually, by 1918, the CSA army was shaped in the way Wilson wanted it to be since he was still Vice President.
