History

main article: History of the Republic of Northeast US

The history of the Northeast Republic has been a turbulent one. After the desolution of the United States through internal conflicts, several states form alliances with each other. The states that made up the North East were no exception. When PA and NY formed their alliance, many states in the surrounding region were not happy. Over the course of the next five years after the PA/NY Alliance, New Jersey joined and it became the Northeast Confederation. In response, Maine and her surrounding states quickly formed the Maine Confederacy. Over the course of several years, there was severe tension between the two alliances and when Delaware joined the Confederation, they changed their name to the Republic of Northeast US.

It was when Delaware joined that the First Republic-Confederation War finally erupted. The first battle took place in the city of Plattsburg, NY and from there, the Confederate Army made its way down towards Albany. However, they were turned back at the Battle of Saratoga. At this battle, the Confederate Forces were totally destroyed. Upon the destruction of the 1st Confederate regiment, the Northeastern Army made its way and recaptured territory that were taken by the Confederates. At the Second Battle of Plattsburg, the city was recaptured but only after the city was severaly damaged.

As the invasion of the Maine Confederacy commenced, the government of the Confederacy asked for peace terms and everything went back to Status Quo Ante Bellum. This set the people of the Republic in an uproar. After several months of fighting, the people expected something better than the return to status quo. In response to this, President Ryan Anderson was impeached and thrown out of office.
