The plebiscite of January 7, 1941 was part of the Richmond Agreement entered into by President Al Smith of the United States and President Jake Featherston of the Confederate States. The plebiscite took place in the states of Houston, Kentucky and Sequoyah to determine whether each state should remain in the U.S.A or rejoin the C.S.A. After the plebiscite, Kentucky and Houston voted to rejoin the Confederacy (with Houston also being reabsorbed into Texas). However, Sequoyah (with many new US settlers in the territory) voted to remain an occupied U.S territory.
