1861

Formation of The Confederate States of America, the first major secession in North American history. A large number of the survivors (from both the Union and Confederate sides) of The Battle of the Bull Run start to show strange signs of fever of an unknown nature.
It starts to spread extremely quickly through the ranks of soldiers, incapacitating large numbers and leading to hundreds of fatalities. The virus is dubbed the Veteran Fever. Its rapid spread cripples both armies, causing a gradual ceasefire. Some states start to barricade themselves in order to contain the epidemic, including Texas.

1862

Abraham Lincoln's son, William Wallace Lincoln, dies of Veteran Fever. The mounting death toll encourages Lincoln to call for an armistice, amidst the rising cost of dealing with the epidemic.
Treaty of Gettysburg. The First Civil War ends with the independence of the Confederate States of America. By now, the fever has claimed hundreds of lives. Slavery is banned in the United States.

1864

Lincoln is defeated in the United States election by George McClellan. To prevent another civil war, McClellan introduces a large-scale decentralization of power to the states. This is the beginning of a gradual trend of the loss of federal power.

1866

First presidential elections in the Confederate States of America. Independent Robert E. Lee defeats Alexander Stephens of the Democratic Party. Lee's victory begins a tradition of non-partisan elections in the CSA, that is only broken with the Final Civil War.

1872

Popular Robert E. Lee wins reelection (the CS Constitution was amended to make it possible to run for President twice).

1876

First Texan-Confederate War. Texas attempts to seize the Confederate territories of Arizona and New Mexico, but is defeated. The territories remain under Confederate control.

1878

Vice-President Judah P. Benjamin wins the presidency.


1882

Secession Crisis, also known as the Second Civil War. Maryland attempts to reintroduce forced labor under the States Act 1880, which gives it wide-ranging powers over internal affairs.
The federal government condemns this, leading to a declaration of independence by Maryland and Delaware as the Federal Union of Maryland. The United States sends an expeditionary force into Maryland to depose the Maryland government, but is forced to back down by widespread popular opposition. Washington, DC, remains in United States hands. Maryland continues sending freemen to Liberia.

1884

In response to the Secession Crisis, the States Rights Act is passed; this returns to the states many federal powers, including defense and foreign affairs, in an attempt to prevent further secessions.
As a result, the United States comes to resemble more a confederation of independent states than a federal union. A second outbreak of Veterans Fever leads to states across America closing their borders.

Against President Judah P. Benjamin's orders, Texas introduces discriminatory policies towards immigrants, to prevent a further outbreak of Veterans Fever within Texas.

1887

Texas declares independence from CSA. Being now recognized by Britain, Prussia, France and the Netherlands.

1893

The CSA abolishes slavery.

1903

Second Texan-Confederate War. The Confederate States attempt to incorporate their Oklahoma Territory as a state, including areas disputed between Texas and the CSA. Texas objects to this, and declares war, invading Oklahoma. The CSA are forced to recognize Oklahoma's annexation into Texas, and are cut off from their Arizona and New Mexico Territories, which come under increasing Texan domination.

1907

Liberia is incorporated as a protectorate of Maryland, dramatically boosting its economy. Ironically, the Federal Union of Maryland, now comprising the states of Maryland, Delaware and Liberia, now controls more land in Africa than it does in North America.

1929

The Wall Street Crash greatly destabilizes the World Order. Britain reacts by resurrecting the old idea of Imperial Federation, seeing that a more united Empire is a more prosperous Empire. December sees the passing of a bill that would enter Britain into a new Commonwealth Parliament. Similar bills are passed in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, all of whom are willing to try anything to alleviate the economic burdens plaguing them.

Decentralization makes this crisis even more devastating than in OTL; riots break out across America. The United States government, under Herbert Hoover, is ineffectual in solving the crisis, and is increasingly seen as being unresponsive to regional concerns. Joseph Taylor Robinson, Confederate President, comes under similar pressures. The economic crisis brings both nations closer to war. To make matters worse, a second outbreak of Veterans Fever causes the widespread breakdown of law and order, as services are stretched to their limits.

1930

Final Civil War.

President Robinson of the CSA declares war on the United States over a border incident.

Capitalizing on widespread discontent with the war, Texas engineers a coup in Louisiana, causing the new military government to seize Arkansas and declare independence. This secession sets off a wave of secessions across both the CSA and the USA.

After the CSA manages to seize West Virginia in the war against the USA, but Virginia secedes, taking West Virginia with it. The Confederate government is forced to flee to Jackson, in Mississippi. At the same time, the CS states of Florida and the Carolinas declare their independence too. By the end of the year, only Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia remain loyal to the Confederate government. Tennessee will soon to be occupied and later annexed by Carolina in 1934.

The United States declares victory, but struggles intensely to keep the states in line. Mexico invades New Mexico and Arizona, and sets up a puppet government as the People's Republic of Aztlan.

On January 1st, the first meeting of the Commonwealth Parliament takes place. The top three issues are economy, military and India in that order. An Imperial Preference Bill passes which puts a tariff on all non-Commonwealth goods helps to stimulate the economies of the Commonwealth nations to a degree. A bill proposing a unified Imperial command is also passed as fears concerning Russia grow with each passing year. India on the other hand, is a whole different kettle of fish. After fierce months of debate and back and forth negotiations, it is agreed that once India are able to organize and hold an election that produces a stable government, proper negotiations can begin about admitting India as a member of the Commonwealth Parliament (This happens in 1938)

1932

Wars break out between the new nations of North America over territory.

Oklahoma attempts to secede from Texas, but is defeated.

The Iowa Free State and the Rocky Mountain Confederation then fight over control of disputed territory.

The Republic of New Jersey makes foreign relations with British dominions such as Canada and Australia. New Jersey's president Victor Turner feels that a stronger relationship with Canada and Australia could help the British Empire support the new nation of New Jersey in the future.

California is invaded by Mexico, sparking the Mexican-Californian War. The continent is generally in anarchy, with little control over large areas in the Mid-West, South, and West.
