The delegates to the Convention of States crippled the Federal government sufficiently enough that it would never threaten the United States of America again before returning home to the smaller alliances of States that had survived the Second Great Depression together. The New England Federation, the Republics of California and Texas, the Confederation of Dixie, and Pacifica. Each alliance of States survived in their own ways to become home to a different aspect of the America that was. But they did not trust each other. It was after all their very differences of opinions and refusals to work together that caused the Second Great Depression in the first place. It took far more than the end of the world as they knew it to change that.
