*Throughout his Presidency, Clay commonly made an enemy of several Moderate Republicans. However, he made an alliance of free blacks, former abolitionists, German-Americans(due to the influence of Secretary of War Franz Sigel), Radical Republicans(led by Secretary of State John Fremont), and moderate/mainstream Republicans(led by Attorney General Salmon Chase and Secretary of the Treasury William Seward). The German-Americans managed to draw the others together.
**Grant managed to bring Greeley in. Greeley, considered an ally of the Radical Republicans, proved himself a powerful ally. Secretary of the Treasury Chester Arthur fought hard against corruption, essentially turning over everyone he could to Attorney General George Frisbie Hoar. Between Hoar and several Radical Republicans, voting rights were passed for African-Americans and Native Americans. Hoar himself pushed for female suffrage, which he failed in, but Hoar succeeded in getting over fifteen states to pass female suffrage and drawing through reconstruction. The Cherokees elected Gabriel Rogers, a grandson of a former Indian chief and former step-son to Sam Houston, as their Chief, and he would go on to be elected Governor of Tohi Ase(TOE-hie ASE-sae), loosely connected to the Cherokee words for Free and Peace. Grant pushed through the creation of the Administrator of Voting Freedom, which he appointed Hoar to.
***Hoar's Presidency was, some might say, accidental. He won on the thirtieth ballot against several very, very strong candidates. Hoar began by lowering tariffs and signing an alliance with Germany, Russia, Romania, and Spain - three of which were ruled by Hohenzollerns. He next turned to domestic affairs. Hoar, Democrat Isaac Murphy, and Independent General Richard Taylor agreed to a compromise - in exchange for certain agreements for bimetallism and poor whites/blacks for the South, Taylor would be appointed Military Governor of the South. So long as he slowly brought Southern whites around to the idea of voting rights for blacks and cracked down on attempts to restrict said rights, Southerners would be allowed to move west and settle plots of land, as well as setting up trading systems between these settlements, in modern day Fremont(OOC: Arizona and New Mexico) and Houston(Colorado and part of Wyoming), and the South.
****Hendricks, as President, attempted to unite the labor of the North with the trading/commerce system of the South and West. Having been elected on the backs of the Upper South, the Midwest, and the Southwest, Hendricks was eager to solidify his base. However, disagreements on tariffs, voting rights, and alliances tore his administration apart. The Midwest wanted lower tariffs. The South, the Native Americans, and the Southwest wanted higher tariffs. The Native Americans supported the German alliance. The South wanted neutrality. The Midwest and Southwest wanted an alliance with the British. Native Americans supported voting rights. The South and labor strongly opposed it. The Democrats in the Midwest and Southwest were neutral or slightly against it. The main thing the Democrats accomplished was increasing the silver:gold ratio from two-to-one to six-to-one, canceling the tariff reductions on Germany, and raising tariffs by 7.5%.
*****Lincoln signed into law reducing bimetallism to a three-to-one ratio, reinstating the tariff reductions on Germany, and expanding it to Spain, Siam, Romania, and Russia. He also cut tariffs by 12%. With the support of Senator Chester Arthur II, Lincoln made an income tax amendment, pushing said tax to 6% on everyone who makes over $300 a year, with varying rates/deductions for families and single individuals. With all this done, Lincoln proceeded to send Secretary of State Henry M. Teller and Democratic orator William Jennings Bryan to Europe, to negotiate a "Grand Alliance". Denmark-Norway, Spain, Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Russia, the Netherlands, and America all signed the alliance, being pitted against Sweden, France, Portugal, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, Belgium, Japan, and probably Serbia and the United Kingdom.
[6] Bryan raised the silver:gold ratio to sixteen-to-one, but supported the alliance with Germany. By raising tariffs to 27%(up 17%), reducing the income tax to 2.5%, and the introduction of a 4% sales tax, Bryan raised the money to provide federal subsidies to the South-West commerce. Bryan would sign into law a five cent minimum wage law, and maximum working conditions for women and children under fourteen of fourteen hours a day. By doing so, Bryan made several enemies among business and communists, all of whom staunchly believed Bryan to be a radical or a reactionary. Thomas Dixon Jr. and Claude Kitchin, leaders of the North Carolina Red Shirts, shot Bryan on February 10, 1904. George Gordon, Nathan Bedford Forest, Benjamin Tillman, Martin Gary, Matthew C. Butler, and Josephus Daniels led the uprising throughout the South. William Joseph Simmon's letters, indicating the plans of these men to lead a rebellion and kill at least 10,000 blacks, were found in the trash by several African-Americans. With the cover and support of sympathetic whites, 300,000 blacks from Jackson, MS, Huntsville, AL, Atlanta, GA, New Orleans, LA, Charleston, SC, and various other cities managed to flee to one of two safe zones: Vicksburg, where former abolitionists armed them to take the town from Southern White League sympathizers, and Duke University, where Methodists, as well as pro-black Episcopalians and Catholics set up a safe zone and called a school holiday.


Rallying together enough men, Claude Kitchin was declared President of VA, NC, SC, FL, AL, GA, MS, and LA. Throughout the South, those who most strongly opposed rights of blacks marched to Jackson, MS, New Orleans, LA, and Atlanta, GA. William Joseph Simmons proposed that the roughly three thousand blacks be held hostage. However, George Gordon attempted to have them shot and killed. When they were all led to a spot on the Mississippi about thirty miles south of Vicksburg, to be killed and tossed into the River, the 30,000 Southerners were ambushed. 12,000 free blacks ambushed them from the south and the east. Being pushed into the river, Gordon ordered boats nearby to be seized and used to free his men, abandoning Simmons and 6,000 troops from Texas to fight a rearguard engagement. Simmons quickly ordered his men to leave the engagement, and they were followed by 8,000 Virginians. With 6,000 casualties, his men still outnumbered the blacks twenty to ten. However, they were divided, and within five days had lost 6,500 men, going to 13,500 men against 9,250 blacks. At that time, 25,000 more free blacks and white sympathizers appeared. Gordon fled with twelve top officers and sixty aides, allowing three colonels and fifteen aides to surrender or die. The army surrendered and was quickly marched to Vicksburg. Just six hours after the last black left Bruinsburg, over 95,000 rebels appeared. With news of a federal army numbering 800,000, the army retreated back to Jackson, where the 320,000 remaining troops decided to split in four - 20,000 troops and 200,000 other troops in FL, GA, NC, and SC would march to Vicksburg. 120,000 troops would go to New Orleans, 120,000 troops would stay in Jackson, and 60,000 troops would march to Dallas. However, before this could happen, the forces of General Nelson Miles, Major General Andrew Jackson Houston, and Major Ulysses S. Grant III were all converging on New Orleans. Quickly ordering a march, 240,000 troops were sent to New Orleans, 10,000 to Richmond, 10,000 to Houston(ironically named after General Houston's father), and 100,000 to Vicksburg. Lieutenant General Joseph Wheeler was placed in charge of 200,000 men who were to make as much noise and appear as large as possible while moving to the SWW of New Orleans. Once this was done, the armies of America decided to wait for rebel reinforcements to trap them all at once. Within a month, 95,000 troops from those sent to Richmond were approaching the city, and 65,000 troops from Texas and western Louisiana were already there, while the 100,000 to Vicksburg had been a faint. 390,000 rebels were now in Orleans. Miles at once launched his attack, counting on 300,000 men to draw the full force of the enemy on them. Miles himself rode to within a mile of a cavalry charge. Within a half hour, he led 40,000 cavalry to the city in a massive charge, overwhelming the enemy's cannons. Then, Houston's 280,000 men attacked the SES of the city. The rebels, inspired by an amazing speech from Tillman, were beginning to turn the tide the next day. However, Grant then appeared. Miles and Houston, trapped to the SSE and SSW of the city, were facing troops with very high morale. The third-in-command, Joseph Wheeler, led 140,000 men into several trap, after which he and many high ranking officers defected. 495,000 rebels now faced 400,000 federal troops, as 90,000 new rebels and 30,000 defectors had reinforced them. Grant led 20,000 federal cavalry into the north in a wild charge while Admiral George Dewey's fleet appeared and began bombarding the city. Even still, Grant lost 14,000 men while killing 65,000 rebels. Despite this, he would have fallen if not for his final trick: 125,000 black men, 110,000 of them as cavalry and 15,000 with supporting rifles, joined Grant's charge. At the same time, Miles and Houston had made a feint of a withdrawal, which they exploited when the rebels were shocked by the powerful army of black men and Grant's cavalry. Simmons and Tillman immediately had their guards ask the other leaders to meet with them, where they then arrested them. With nine generals and a President, these two surrendered to Miles, Houston, and Grant.

*National Republican military government finally cedes power on the condition that none of the members of government are tried for their crimes.
*After years of divisive action by the National Republican administration, Americans yearn for a more centrist approach. Provisional Senator Rebecca Adams of Georgia represents that to a T. A former staffer for the Tom Cotton administration, Adams has ties to the National Republicans, but Adams proceded to break with them and side with more Democratic forces. Not a radical by any stretch, Adams advocated a slow, transition to a more moderate and open governmental process. Her five years in office were peaceful and productive - several pro-growth reforms allowed the economy to rebound after years of stagnation under the Greitens administration. Adams retired out of respect for the office.
*Hector Ruiz, the hand chosen successor of Adams, was a fellow moderate who proposed slightly changes to the economic model and more socially progressive policies. Ruiz, unlike Adams, aimed for re-election, but an economic recession closed that door fairly quickly. This also ended the Democratic Unionist party as anything other than a bit player in congress and a spoiler in Presidential elections.
