Gary Lee Bauer was the 3rd President of the Confederate States of America from 1998 to 2004, elected from the States' Rights Party. Under Bauer, the Confederacy suffered a series of terrorist attacks from Middle Eastern terrorists, who viewed the country as "A Nation of Infidels" after it refused to allow Middle Eastern immigrants to move to the Confederacy for economic incentives. "The Confederacy is no place for foreigners," said Bauer during a press conference, and then promptly recommended immigrants to move to either New York or California. In response, the Jefferson Davis Monument was destroyed in a bombing attack.
