Republic of Usonia

Brief
The Republic of Usonia is a constitutional republic of federated states spanning from the Mid-Atlantic coast to the Pacific Northwest. It borders the Federation of Free Dixie (a member of the Antilles Pact) and the Empire of Mexico to the south, the Alaskan Soviet Socialist Republics to the northwest, and la République Québecoise to the northeast.

Civil War
The Republic of Usonia is the successor to the United States of America. In 1832, Nat Turner's slave revolt became a prolonged guerilla conflict. By 1835, much of the southern United States, including most of Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas, had been taken under the control of freedmen and their indigenous allies. In January of 1835 the United States had the city of New Orleans under siege. The siege was broken by ships of the Grand Antillean Republic and within a few months the Federation of Free Dixie was established.

Annexation of British Canada
Revolts break out simultaneously in Lower and Upper Canada against British Rule. The United States, reeling from its losses in the south back the Anglophone Upper Canadians, a more violent and direct enactment of the Monroe Doctrine which the United States viewed as now integral to securing hegemony from the increasingly sluggish Kingdom of Mexico and clearly waning European colonialism in the hemisphere.

The US supports both Upper and Lower Canada in war with the British Empire. The briefly bloody affair is brought to an end rather swiftly, with the British Empire being assured of lucrative trade options in North America.

The Republic of Usonia was established in the early days of 1839. Lower Canada does not join the Union but forms the independent République de la Québecois and maintains close relations with the UNAS.

A New Nation
The Republic of Usonia turned it's sights in the first decades of it's existence westward, away from the reminders of their southern losses.
