    These American states get sent back to 1861

    Well for New England and West Virginia, the various states can scrounge up every tanker truck they've got, and run then up and down existing road networks, or possibly try to run some trains, although I don't believe the routes would've connected to where they need to be. There are some ports in...

    I picked these states because they were either not very influential in terms of military assets available, wouldn't be fucked as badly as say Florida, New York, or a state with large cities and large populations, and because many of these states are either tiny in population, or rather poorer...

    I don't know about you, but telling millions of newly freed slaves "we're sorry about enslaving millions of you, now go back to ancestral homelands that you know nothing about" isn't going to work out to well with the modern States, especially the black Americans that come back with them...

    I can't really see why the US would go conquering in South America, especially when nothing there would concern them.

    What do you think will hit the future states the hardest in this scenario? The lack of food imports or lack of available fuel? Do you believe it likely that uptime troops will enter the south and forcibly free the enslaved population? What would be the biggest impact regarding the bonus scenario?

    On January 1st, 2020, a multitude of bright flashes are reported across the United States, both east and west. When the lightshow ceases, highway networks and rail lines are found severed throughout the country. Power lines and communications networks with a number of states are no longer...
