Second American Civil War

The Second American Civil War was an armed conflict that arose after the Republic of Idaho seceded from the Union. At first, the Union won by invading most of Idaho, but Idaho starts a counter-offense, which inspires other states to also secede from the Union. By the end of The Last Full Measure, the Union barely exists, and the world has collapsed into war.

History

Daniel Wright was a private in the Idaho National Guard who's gun accidentally fires at a riot in Boise, causing 21 people to get shot. He is horrified at what he did, and the federal government calls for his arrest. However, Governor Montaine resists, eventually resulting in the federal government sending in the FBI to arrest him, but Montaine deems it illegal and closes Idaho off from the Union. The FBI moves in on Danny, attempting to arrest at his school, but he gets away. Soon after, the federal government orders a complete blockade around Idaho. The Crisis worsens when Danny, who went across the border to Washington to get his mom, who was killed in the attempt, spoke out against the federal government and fires on the Feds. Some time later, during a visit to Philadelphia, President Rodriguez is shot 3 times and killed. Laura Griffith became the next President and declared war on Idaho.
