10:00 AM ST (Southern Time),
The White House,
Richmond, Virginia


The crowds converging on the lawn of the White House in Richmond, Virginia the capital of the Confederacy were huge. Equally huge was the roar of the people as a young man dressed like a General of the Confederacy ascended the podium of honor.


A nervous pastor stepped up to the podium as well and took out a Bible. "Repeat after me Mr. Vaevaller. I Louis Vaevaller-" "I Louis Vaevaller" "Do Solmenly swear-" "Do Solmenly swear" "To uphold and protect the Constuition of the South-" "To uphold and protect the Constuition of the South" "And to do my duty to my fellow citizens and Nation-" "And to do my duty to fellow citizens and Nation" "So help me God" "So help me God". The pastor smiled "Congratutions Mr Vaevaller, I hereby pronounce you President of the Confederate States of America"

A cheer broke out again among the crowds as Vaevaller cleared his throat and spoke.


"My fellow citizens, sons of the South all! I stand before you today a physical reprsention of your will for this country. Now I will be frank my fellow citizens, I am not suitable, in my opinion, for this office. But I will try my upmost best to lead, to fufill my mandate from you, the people.

Now my friends I am aware that many of you feel that our blessed south has fallen from her orignal greatness. And I agree with you friends, that is why I am going announcing my plan: The Great Revival. Gentlemen I will be honest with you: If the Fathers of the South, such great men as Robert E. Lee, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, James Longstreet, JEB Stuart, and the others could see what our beloved Southernland has become they would weep! Which is why my program MUST pass Congress! I promise you sons of the South, I WILL return our nation to it's greatness in the days of our forefathers, and with your help perhaps beyond that glory!

In my campaign gentlemen I promised you a better nation, I promise I WILL uphold. My Mama told me when I was just a child to never make promises I can not keep and aways be honest! Well if the past 25 odd years have been any proof at ALL, I would say I kept that promise Mama" a peel laughter spread through the crowd as the new president gave his mother a funny look from the podium "Now I bet that some of you are wondering where this is going. Well I wanna jaw'll a little about my promises and how I am going to fullfill them for the Southernland......


In the dark away from the podium two men stood glaring "Is this guy fore real Sam?" asked the first. "Yep, born and bred in the Smokey Mountains, and you know full well them folks are honest Bill." Bill shook his head "I guess I am just weary of the last three liar presidents, but what about the rumors about cheating on his wife? and that his pappy's from Yankee lands?" Sam chuckled "Unsubstanated stuff that Bill. Guy's too honest and down to earth to cheat on his wife. And as for having a Yankee pappy?..... well that is still under invistagation...." Bill laughed "Well what I have heard I'd be pretty darn suprised if he IS half-Yankee!" Sam smiled and put a finger to his lips "Sush Bill, he is moving on...."


"And finally sons of the South I understand that is doubts about my intergity and about my suitablity for the job. Well in regards to the biggest attacks on my intergity...... HOW can a cheater have a happy wife, five happy kids, and a good house! God don't bless cheaters don'twacha ya'll know? As for my suitablity.... well I understand given my youthfulness ya'll may have some doubts. But my favorite verse in the Bible is: "I can do all through Christ who sterngthns me" and I believe this with all my heart that I can do this job with Christ's help.

So thanks to each and everyone of you for attending this ceramony, God bless you all and God Bless the South!"

The crowds roared thier approval as the young President stepped down from the podium, in the background the Confedrate Marine Band struck up the national anthem: "Bonnie Blue Flag".


As Vaevaller stepped down from the podium he was embraced in a bear hug by a giant bearded fellow in the uniform of the General of Army of Northern Virginia.

"You did it Louis! Everyone said you wouldn't win, the newspapers even printed out stories of your loss! But you did it! You won! You're President!"

Vaevaller smiled and patted the man on the back "I know Bobbie! I can't believe it! But with God helping me I WILL make changes Bobbie, just wait and see! This time will be glorious for the South!"

Bobbie grinned and patted his friend on the back then leaned foward to wisper in his ear "Well you know full well that if some don't argee with you Lou I can use the Army of Northern Virginia to force things...."

Vaevaller shook his head "Now is not the time to be talking of such things Bobbie. Now is the time to celebrate our victory, and the victory of the United Southern Front!"

ooc: You're not going to turn into DA, are you? I'd like a semi peaceful southern country. Nothing against DA, of course. He is a great RPer....
Anyways, enough of a tangent. Very nice first RP, I must say.

OOC: I am not sure yet Ramissle..... I guess I will have to see were my imangation takes me. Oh and thanks for the compliment! :)

OOC: No problem. If its alright with you, I'd like to set up some diplomatic relations. If its ok, I'll set up the thread later.

OOC: It is alright with me Ramissle!

ooc: do you mind if i do a yankee assassination attempt(failed) on the president.
also im assuming the south won the civil war and what would be the usa is now the usa and the confederated states of america correct?

OOC: Theao you are correct that What is IRL the USA is split into the Union and Confederacy. I base my little Alternate History on the Lost Order of Robert E. Lee not being lost, thus insuring that a Southern victory that bring British-French recongnition comes along (I will make a history thread about this later). About the assassination attempt, give me a little time to think about it.

ooc: if you want another version of the same thing read 'How Few Remain' By Harry Turtledove, its basically about the second 'civil war' with a great deal of info on the first civil war and many historical/real life people in it.

OOC: Hmm.... I really don't care for Harry Turtledove, turth be told.

ooc: ok and please tell if/when you want me to do the assassination attempt.

OOC: Alright I will do that Theao. Now I must ask that people start posting IC messages please....

OOC: Alright I am bumping for replies

12:00 PM ST
Meeting Room,
White House
Richmond, Virginia




"Attun-Shut! Announcing the President of the Confederate States!" the various ministers stood up as President Vaevaller entered the room, escorted by Confederate Marines. "At ease soldiers, you are dissmissed" said the President as he moved towards his chair at the head of the room.


"Mr. President we understand as this is your first time here that we would explain protocal and such" the man speaking was tall and pencil thin, with large glasses perched on a large hawish nose.

"There will be no need for that Mr. Tasset, I am gonna do things my way. Now first off I wanna talk about the Great Revival, who knows there history best?"

A large botbellied man with a walrus mustace, Internal Secretary John Whitney stood up. "I do Mr. President"

The President smiled "Well then tell me Mr. Internal Secretary how do you think we should deal with the recent crises over black rights, based on history?"

"I think that according to history Mr. President that we should supress those rights, after all during the 60s President Willy Dreighton proglamated the Alrington Protocal for this excat purpose."

Josiah Jackson, Secretary of Defense then stood up and spoke "Yeah it was that way until the bumbling idiot from Arkansas came along and repelled all of President Dreighton's laws, how on Earth that man got two terms, almost a third, is beyond me!" A general murmer of agreement spread through the cabinet.

"Now gentlemen none of that, I will not condone the passing of judgement on my predesscors in this House"

After quiting down President Vaevaller turned towards a man with a striking rememsblance to Robert E. Lee in his youth. "Danny? Will trying to restate the Alrington Protocal pass through Congress?"

Standing up and streching his arms Daniel R. Lee thought a moment "Hmm...... It won't be easy Mr. President..... The Arkansawyr's party will fight anything we try to pass tooth and nail. Unless we can find a loop hole I am afaird the Great Revival will have to wait until the Congressonial elections."

At once Jackson stood up joined by others "Mr. President you know very well that Bobbie Stuart can lead the advance elements--"


"NO!" said Vaevaller "No I will not use force to get my way unless there is no other way. Until the elections this admistration shall focus on econmic and other peaceful matters and if possible the passing of legistation to re-instate the Southern Youth Society groups and the possible enlargement of Forts Fisher and Stonewall. You are dismissed gentlemen" with the that the President walked out of the room.

As the president walked out the room a bullet shattered the window and knocked the chair in which he had been sitting. In fairly rapid order bullets tracked across the room ending up impacting in the door that the presidential guard had just closed.
