The Battle of Tyler is remembered in New England as a mistake where lessons were learned, and the fallen are remembered as "Those Who Opened Our Eyes," in addition to all Philadelphia-based soldiers who died in the following months before March, when the Second Civil War ended. The New England Republic was declared on 29 March 2007 as the successor to the Philadelphia government. Today, while not perfect, New England and the Southwest Republic have a peaceful relationship and are trade partners. Heads of both governments have stated their intention to strengthen ties with one another.
