Alternate U.S.
Premise is that the U.S. survives the Civil War, but that only opens up more divisions among the states, as due to the republicans removing Andrew Johnson from office and taking over, just a few decades later, the country splits again, this time into four countries.

The Mississippi Coalition
The Republican States of America

ELF, ALF, and other assorted domestic terrorist attacks from left-wing-associated (anti-religion, anarchist, etc.) groups since September 11th, 2001. Note: only 1 injured, 0 killed. Does not include unaffiliated but identifiably left-wing attacks such as a shooting on police officers in response to Ferguson, for example. Disregard numbers in Maine and Nebraska.
