A follow-up map to my CSA-screw on the previous page.
The Confederate Civil War finally ended with a negotiated peace mediated by Great Britain in 1920. The combined threats of the Yeomen and Freedmen Rebellions along with the bloody stalemate on the battlefield eventually wore down both the Montgomery and Charleston governments. The final straw was the sudden breakout by Floridan forces, whom had been covertly supplied by the United States, which captured the entire Gulf Coast up to the Louisiana border. The resulting London Peace Conference saw the formation of a unity government in Charleston and the Confederate States of America recognizing the Republic of Florida as an independent nation. Florida remains a mostly agricultural country though industry is starting to pop up around Mobil, Tampa, and Pascagoula. Land reform has been successfully, more or less, implemented and one of the major parties is a similar to an agrarian social democratic party. Unfortunately, Florida is still very racist and most of the black population has been forced to immigrate to the United States or Chitimacha. Geo-politically, Florida balances itself between the United States and the Confederate States. It has friendly relations with Texas but is hostile to Chitimacha.
During the armistice before the concluding peace, the Confederate states turned their attention to bloodily suppressing the Freedmen Rebellion. Many freedmen fled into occupied New Orleans or into the United States itself. Seeing an opportunity to extend its control along the Gulf of Mexico, the United States began training and arming the freedmen refugees. This freedmen army proclaimed the Republic of Chitimacha in New Orleans and captured Confederate territory up to the 31 parallel. Chitimacha is the name given to a local native tribe. The Confederate states were pressured into signing a cease fire with Chitimacha but an official peace treaty has never been signed and both the CSA and Florida claim Chitimacha. The prominent New Orleans families that had invited the United States in the first place have immigrated to either to the Untied States, Texas, the CSA or Florida while the creole population have more or less accepted the new republic. Chitimacha is comparably wealthy due to its domination of shipping along the Gulf Coast. While the CSA and Florida officially have a trade embargo on Chitimacha, this has done little to prevent the lucrative cross border shipping. Chitimacha has joined Texas in becoming a de facto protectorate of the United States.
While the Confederate states have been successful in their attempts to quash the Freedmen Rebellion the Yeomen Rebellion has continued in the mountains of North Georgia and Southwest Arkansas. The yeomen in North Georgia have been confident enough to proclaim the unrecognized Socialist Republic of Appalachia. What that really means depends on who you ask. The United States has been wary about the "anarchy" on its Southern border, but the SRA is seen as useful in thwarting European influence over Charleston and as a dumping ground for American radicals. The yeomen in the South were less radical than their Northern comrades and have made peace; happy to live in the Republic of Florida.
The remaining states of the Confederate States of America are slowly recovering from the devastating civil war by relying on European loans. The Confederate States have been keen to court Europe as it remains antagonistic to the United States. Due to the loss of the Gulf Coast, Savannah and Charleston have become the major cities in the Confederacy. The capital of Louisiana has been moved to Monroe though the state still claims Baton Rouge as its the official seat. While some of the First Families lost everything in the war, most were able to make the transition to investing in railroads and industry and their political domination over Confederate politics continues. Because of this only superficial attempts at land reform were done fueling the agrarian socialist Yeomen Rebellion.
