Louisiana Rebellion

The Louisiana Rebellion was a brief armed conflict between residents of the US state of Louisiana and the United States of America, in early 2081. Anger over the results of the 2080 United States presidential election, in which Green Party candidate Annie Brown won a plurality of the popular vote and the electoral vote, but after which the United States House of Representatives voted in the Republican candidate, Caleb Webber, to be the next president, was the main cause.

Annie Brown herself did not support the rebellion in her home state of Louisiana, believing that it would end in vast destruction across the entire state, but anger quickly boiled over and the state legislature and governor Cameron Meredith formally passed a resolution to declare independence from the United States on January 29th, 2081, just 9 days after Webber took office.
