| - Slavery remained a big issue within the Confederacy as it was one of the last nations to tolerate it. It was until 1885 when President Charles Whippany gave slaves their freedom if they chose to fight in the Mexican War, which ultimately led to the abolition of slavery in 1886. During the period between the abolition of slavery to the First Great War, the Confederacy had a long period of industrial growth and territorial gains from the Spanish-Confederate War. In 1907, the Confederate States joined the Quadruple Entente with France, Russia, and the United Kingdom in order to fight of German ambitions and expansion. When the First Great War broke out, the Confederacy entered shortly after the British declaration of war on the German Empire. The Confederacy's neighbor, however, did have sympathy for the Germans and also engaged Confederate and British ships in the Atlantic, nearly pushing North America into the war. Following the Entente victory in the Great War, the Confederacy focused it's attention on rebuilding it's military and eventually it's economy in the wake of the Great Depression. In 1930, a militia controlled by the New Confederate Party attempted to overthrow the Confederate government, beginning the First Confederate Civil War. After three years of guerrilla warfare in the deep south states of Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana, the Confederacy banned any remaining fascist or communist parties in fear of another civil war. Once the Second Great War broke out during 1939 in Europe, the Confederacy declared war on Nazi Germany and began to draft men into the Army. Submarine warfare soon broke out on the coast of Florida between Confederate and German fleets on patrol, raising fears that a German invasion was imminent. In 1941, the paranoia that the Americans were sympathetic to the Nazis disappeared after the a German submarine sunk the USS West Virginia, dragging in the United States into the Second Great War. During the Second Great War, the Confederacy was working on a nuclear bomb with the help of Albert Einstein, a scientist who fled Germany during the rise of Nazism. In 1945, two atomic bombs were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending the war. The Second Great War saw to the Confederate States becoming a world superpower and marked the beginning of the Cold War; a series of tensions between the Soviet Union and the Confederacy, along with the United States opening diplomatic relations with the Confederacy in 1947. During the 1960s, a series of movements for equal rights for Africans residing in the United States and Confederate States began. The Americans granted the rights to African-Americans in 1968, however the Confederacy continued to refuse rights until 1978, when militants from the Afrikan Liberation Movement began a series of attacks on government buildings and whites in the cities of Atlanta and Columbia, marking the beginning of the Second Confederate Civil War. The Confederates were yet again embroiled in guerrilla warfare for six years until President Walter Mondale extended rights for African-Confederates, ending some of the racial tensions in the nation. On September 11, 2001, terrorists working for the organization Al-Qaeda detonated a bomb aboard a Montgomery Metro subway train during rush hour, killing 32. The Confederate States fought along side the United States during the War on Terror in an attempt to end Islamic terrorism around the world.
