Early History:
The United States of the Americas has a long and interesting history starting with the American Revolution of 1776. After the Americans won their revolution, the first president after General George Washington was his second-in-command Alexander Hamilton in 1792, who would shape the presidency however he wanted. America would continue to be a ideological battleground between Hamilton and Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson would become President in 1804. This ideological tug-of-war would last until 1812 when the first hints of the Spanish American Wars for independence would begin with one Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar Palacios Ponte y Blanco, or Simón Bolívar for short. Bolívar would lead South America out from its rule of the Spanish Crown, leading to the creation of Gran Colombia. The United States would fully support Gran Colombia in its independence, which would bring them into conflict with Spain. The resulting Spanish-American War of 1813 would lead to the United States taking Florida, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Yucatan Peninsula. Discussions began between the United States and Gran Colombia about the transfer of the territories gained, but nothing would come from it.
The next major event in the nation's history would be the Nullification War of 1832. Senator John C. Calhoun of South Carolina would call for South Carolina to secede in protest of the new tariffs. This put him in opposition to President Phillip Hamilton, who would call for both the defeat of South Carolina, but would also begin the process for the end of Slavery in the United States. This would cause North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Virginia, and Kentucky to leave the Union. While the two sides were roughly even, the United States called on their ally to the south: Gran Colombia. While not a nation devoid of slavery, it was one led by a man who hated the institution. President Bolívar would announce they would join the United States in their war against the Federal American Republic. The two nations would defeat the FAR in 1836. Despite the end of the FAR, their legacy would still float around thanks to the Southern Liberation League causing a ruckus in the rebellious states. By 1850, both the United States and Gran Colombia had formed a political alliance, with both nations passing anti-European laws: The Hamilton Act for the United States and the Bolívar Act for Gran Colombia, with the latter abolishing slavery in Gran Colombia. President of the United States William Seward would abolish slavery in the United States in 1862, which would lead to his assassination and the rise of President John C. Frémont of Georgia. President Frémont would hunt down the destroy the remaining opposition of national unification.
All was going decent in both nations until the year 1883 with the Panic of 1883. Both nations entered an economic downturn that threatened to make both nations collapse into chaos and turmoil. President Robert Todd Lincoln of the United States and President José María Campo Serrano of Gran Colombia would meet in Havana, Cuba and make a deal that would change world history. As of July 4th, 1884, both nations would united into the United States of North and South America. The resulting nation would be one that was able to pull itself out of the economic downturn and the creation of a new constitution. President Lincoln would continue to be head of state with President José María Campo Serrano would become Vice President.
Modern Political Parties:
Federalist Party - Inspired by the political ideals of Alexander and Phillip Hamilton and Simón Bolívar. Free Market and big government.
People's Republican Party - Inspired by the political ideals of Thomas Jefferson. Also absorbed parts of the Socialist elements of the early socialist movement in America. A true party of the people.
Reform Party - All the people who were left out of the PRP. While the party originated as a vanity project of Theodore Roosevelt IV, it would eventually take up a life of its own. By 1957, the USNSA would be in the middle of their civil rights movement which would cause members of the Black Panther Alliance and Gay Liberation Front to join the Reform Party, transforming it into the party of the left-wing of American politics.
Internal Divisions:
The nation is divided into two major divisions - the State and the Province. The states are regions like Kentucky, Panama, and Cuba. The provinces are North America, Central America, and South America. Each province elects one non-partisan leader who will head to Washington D.C. and sit in the Senate as tie breakers. During Presidential Elections, candidates tend to be either current or former Provincial leaders. The current Provincial leaders are Mark Rockefeller for North America, Raúl Castro for Central America, and Bernardo Siles for South America.
((Yes, I am aware how ASB this is. I just thought it would be interesting to have a political party that was formed with a combination of both Alexander Hamilton and Simón Bolívar's political philosophy and this was the easiest way of doing it.))
