Im planning on writing my first TL based on New York Seceding from the Union under the mayorship of Fernando Wood in the midst of the US civil war in an attempt to maintain commercial ties with the south and in protest to the Draft. Im currently in NY and the hurricane has given me some free time but due to my power situation my updates will be irregular. I hope to post my first update tomorrow.
 
I've actually heard of this idea. I've never seen anyone use it before. Still, I think the Union would have burned it down along with the south.
 
Interesting. Assuming this independent city survives into the 21st century, however, where would its military train? Eastern Long Island would probably be your only option.

You have to remember at this time the city only included Manhattan and parts of the Bronx. Im planning on having this lead to a series of other secession across the country.
