Congress of the Grand Confederacy Meets in Atlanta; The South to take action against NAN

Congress of the Grand Confederacy meets in Atlanta
3 Southern nations agree to take unified action against the red man threat


Reporting from Atlanta, Georgia, the Seceded South

Delegates from all across the South are gathered here today in the city of Atlanta for the Congress of the Grand Confederacy, which has been convened to discuss the recent threat posed by the Native American Nation. This once-in-a-lifetime international legislature is only convened under the most extraordinary circumstances requiring the cooperative effort of the entire Southern community of nations. More than 3,000 delegates from Antebellum South, Chepachet, and the Seceded South are attending.

After a day-long opening festivities involving several barbecue and Cajun picnics, fireworks displays, military parades by the combined Southern armies, and burning William T. Sherman in effigy, Presidents Tim McGraw from the Seceded South, Nathanael Moore from Antebellum South, and Jeffrey Comstock from Chepachet, jointly opened this session of Congress.

The Congress of the Grand Confederacy deliberated for several hours before approving a declaration entitled the Joint Southern Declaration Regarding the West.

The Joint Declaration states that there are four threats facing the Western region of what was formerly the United States: 1.) Federal tyranny (e. g. the USNA), 2.) Mexicans (e.g. The Mexican Empire), 3.) Fascism (e.g. Gitchi Goomi), and 4.) Indians (e.g. the Native American Nation).

Of these four threats the greatest threat by far is the Native American Nation. The rampaging red man hordes have already torn up thousands of miles of railroad tracks, dynamited mines, torched crops, and razed civilized settlements throughout the West. The NAN has even threatened to use nuclear weapons, not in self-defense, but as part of their offensive strategy of conquest and expansion.

The Southern nations have therefore entered a pact to contain and neutralize the red man threat. Any attempt by the NAN to further expand its borders will be immediately met with war from all Southern nations. The South also announces that within the next 6 months it will annex an enclave around the old USAF base at Colorado Springs, Colorado, and transform it into a Southern multinational military installation as a base of operations to deter NAN expansionism. The Colorado Springs base, to be named Fort Robert E. Lee, will be manned by 6,000,000 soldiers from all the Southern nations. (4,000,000 will be from Antebellum South)

Constitution of the Grand Confederacy

In hopes of advancing the cultural, social, and political well-being and independence of the Southern people by all honorable means, We the nations of the great South do here by swear our oath of allegiance to this constitution, and do hereby swear to uphold it's truths in an effort to restore, protect, and preserve the rich cultural history which is the great South.

Article One- Cultural Independence

We the people of the Greater South believe that southern culture is distinct from, and in opposition to the mainstream American culture and for that reason hold these values above all others:

1. Christian faith
2. The precedence of family over abstract ties to nations or global communities
3. Southern art and literature
4. Ties to the land
5. Respect for human life

Article Two-Social Independence

We the people of the Greater South believe that the southern social structure is most sacred and thus believe in a society that:

1. Acknowledges that all men are "spiritually" but not "mechanically" equal
2. Is structured upon the Biblical notion of hierarchy in which Christ is the head of His Church; husbands are the heads of their families; parents are placed over their children; employers rank above their employees; the teacher is superior to his students, etc.
3. Reveres traditional Christian marriage and family
4. Practices good manners and "Southern hospitality"
5. Perpetuates the chivalric ideal of manhood - respect for, and protection of, our women, and the development of the virtues of honesty, courage, honor, and humility
6. Upholds freedom of association
7. Believes in the rule of law and the wise, benevolent, and righteous application of justice

Article Three- Political Independence

We the people of the Greater South believe in the formation of a republic, which will be a confederation of independent southern nations, emphasizing:

1. The individual sovereignity of each southern nation
2. Enforcing secure borders and limited immigration
3. Practicing a policy of non-interference with citizen's natural rights including the most important, the right to bear arms

The government of Imperial Mexico condemns this meeting. At one time, Imperial Mexico considered joining forces with the southern nations of the former United States. It is clear now that this was a mistake.

Mexico's ambition to retake what was once theirs should not be seen as a threat. We have no designs on the territory of the former Confederacy. We merely wish to claim what is rightfully ours.

Mexico still desires to maintain cordial relations with the Confederate nations, and we offer this deal: Imperial Mexico will do all it can to stop the expansion of the Native American Nation in exchange for the Confederacy's support in our annexation of Nuevo Mejicano.

"The Southwest has been claimed for the Manifest Destiny of the Anglo-Saxon people, and what was taken from you, by the Treaty of Guadaloupe-Hidalgo, shall not be restored to you. Antebellum South would be glad to join forces with Mexico to fight off the NAN threat, but not on the condition that Mexico attempts to take what is rightfully America's."

Dearest Delegates of the Grand Confederacy,

I come to yall today in the request that sumethin must be dunn about these insane Yankees of our North. Nuclear war has ensured between the nations of Gitchi Goomi, the Native American Nation and Expansionist Colombia. From what our intelligence can gatha out of the chaos is that New York City herself has been hit. As the true children of America, whose fore father through their own blood and sweat build this great nation I believe it is up to us to ensure that this sort of warfare is stopped. Furthermore I feel it is in our duty to our southern people that we take step against these nations to make sure it neva happens agane.

The Seceded South herself is ready for war if neccessary however we of course are open to other suggestions, in the hopes that this can be solved without endangerin the lives of our proud soldiers.

The nation of Henraeld would like to point out that it has no nuclear weapons. We dont even have a nuclear plant. We were attacked with nuclear weapons simply for supporting our allies against an overly aggressive nation. They felt the need to nuke each other, and our nation. We have no defense against such weapons, and over 50 million of our citizens have been killed. More will die from the radiation in the comming months.

We beg the south to be compasionate with our nation. We stood up for our allies, and for it we have already suffered enough losses. Our nation has no government! We have the Assassin's trying to destroy us even now! Please, we can take no more.

To the nation of Henraeld, whom eva controls your god forsaken nation. We undastand your situation and do not hold your nation responsible for what has accured within the North. I for one am certainly pleased to know that one less Yankee has the capability to spread desease throughout our fair continent.

As you describe your nation, it can only show as an example to the Southern delegates of the Grand Confederacy the reason why my president feels action must be taken. As for your case specifically, perhaps the Seceded South could show favor unto your nation however this of course is still under consideration.

The Government of Atlantis Primary hass shown up at the meeting, with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, the Oak Ridge Boys, and Toby Keith, to offer a party, and discuss trade. Each delegate has a pitcher of Mint Julip, or Burbon and Branch water placed at his seat, and has been invited to watch the show!!

Atlantis Primary's objective is to turn this conference away from war, and toward trade. We invite every southern country to look at our shipping capabilities to europe and asia, and consider us as the carriers of their goods.

After Toby Kieth finished singing, 100 cheerleaders from all over the south started passing out cigars!!

The entertainment put on by Atlantis Primary was very well received by all the delegates. After visiting the A.P. trade booth exhibit, the executives of Grenville & Lord Management Inc., New Orleans' largest cotton trading agency, signed a contract with an Atlantis Primary container shipping firm to carry millions of bales of high quality Southern cotton to markets in Europe on an annual basis.

President McGraw addressed the Congress with a response to President Moore's call to arms.

I am in complete agreement with President Moore. These good-fur-nuthin engines have cause enough grief within America and as the respectful southernahs that we are we must act to stop this threat. So to you Mr. Moore I say that you have the Seceded South's full support in any venture which means to disable the threat that is the NAN.

Open address to the Southern Nations


Dear Representatives of this Grand Confederacy,

As newly elected President of the Seceded South, I feel it is my duty to intriduce myself to you fine people. I am a man of honor and of tradition. I hold my southan roots above all other things, except of course for God. To that end I am a man dedicated to bringin back the true southan ways which our people were forced to lose under so many years of oppression against a federal govament which would not recognize our individuality and greatness. An as I have begun my crusade to fix the injustce which has befallen ouwa peepul, I have come to a conclusion that even if I fix all the wrong which has happened, there is nuthin in place to prevent it from staying as it should.

That is why I have come to you, the congress of the great southan nations. We were brought togatha to stop a great threat which we felt could do harm to our ways and tradition, well I am here to tell you that the NAN was only the tip of this large iceburg. The world at large is our greatest threat and alone we ah but one confederate soldier, togetha however we are an r-me.

Need I remind you of what we once had before the evils of the federal government...

Quote:
 
There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South. Here in this pretty world, Gallantry took its last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave. Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind...


It is those words my fellow southernhas that echo throughout the world. Well I say this is a travisty, and by Gawd I am here before you to change it!

What am I suggestin you may ask? I am suggestin that we formalize this Grand Confederacy into an alliance to be shared between ourselves and all utha southan nations that should eva arise. The terms of this Confederarcy will be simple as I have outline them here, in the Consitution of the Grand Confederarcy:

Consitution of the Grand Confederacy

That gentlemen is what I am suggestin. It will be the greatest confederacy which has eva arose fromt he South. It will promote southan tradition while ensuring our individuality and sovereignty. It will also bind us as southernhas, no as family! With this alliance we will foreva stand togetha against any enemy which threatens the peace and prosperity of our South.

Thank you,

Durick Veta questions the intent of the NAN, who have already lead us into a near nuclear apocalspe because of rivalry with Gitchi Goomi. The Southern Confederacy, while not ideal, is not a threat. We would also ask the Confedarcy to refrain from referring to the USNA as yankees, because Durick Veta is Canadian. We extend an arm of peace between the two governments.

Statement(By e-video) from Cheyenne

We are glad to inform Southern Nations that our nation has invaded the Texodaron Nebraska.
THis action is not to be intended as an offese to your nations(since Nebraska is, according to you, a Yankee state and so your enemy) but only a attempt, made by my nation to save thier citezen and sons.
To USNA i ask support, remebering that we strike a nuclear missile, only after to be hit first and only when our people is under the risk of being decimated in Nazi-styled death camps.

"Nebraska is an American State, and deserves to live in sovereign freedom. It was only temporarily and illegally occupied by the Yankee Federal Government.

The NAN's efforts against communism are welcomed, but we ask that the NAN refrain from threatening the sovereignty of Nebraska. If in the course of the war the liberty of Nebraska is threatened by NAN, Antebellum South will be forced to take action."
