Texas found evidence that the new President had colluded with the Mexican drug cartels and helped them attack Texas during the Drug Wars. They spread that information far and wide, so when Texas called the Convention of States to deal with the rogue federal government, McAlester Army Ammunition Base stood with them. They issued no threats. The fact that they stood with Texas said everything that needed to be said. But they were quick to realign with the reformed federal government the Convention of States restarted. They and the numerous American military bases that followed their example are one of the reasons the new federal government succeeded. Yes there were many enemies, both foreign and domestic, who wanted to see America collapse entirely. But there were many more people who wanted to see it survive and thrive. McAlester did everything it could to help that happen.
