The Great Families who built the New England Federation were firm believers in pursuing social justice and righting the wrongs of the past. They wished the Federation to grow into the future without all of the social baggage of racism, genderism, or the other sins of the past that were still practiced outside their borders. They promised the most basic of human rights, a restitution of everything stolen from the people of all classes and backgrounds. They even went into the major population centers that had been devastated by the social unrest of the Second Great Depression, including Chicago and Detroit, and rebuilt them into the major City-States they are now. As always, it was security and prosperity that they offered, and they delivered it everywhere that accepted their vision of the future. To Make America Better.
