Hello, everybody! I am rather new to this forum, but not to scenario making. I have been making scenarios since 2007{dozens of them, as a matter of fact, but most aren't complete, I must admit}.
This one scenario that I've started that I'd love to share with everybody, is 'Civil War '64: A Nation Divided'.
It's a mainly original idea of mine, but later on, I was also inspired by USA2013{forget the name of the creator}and a few other scenarios whose names I forget at the moment. It also takes place in an alternate universe.
-------Basic Storyline-------
The year was 1964. Racial tensions in the U.S. were at an all time high, poverty was beginning to skyrocket nationwide {particularly among the African- and Hispanic-American populations}, urban and rural violence was approaching levels not seen since 1780-1800, partially blamed on Northern and Central European immigrants, especially in the South and West,
and also on numerous other factors, notably including discrimination. And almost immediately after Lyndon Johnson won the 1964 emergency elections, widespread rumors of massive fraud began circulating nationwide. And just hours after the sinking of the USS Dallas and USS Salt Lake in the Gulf of Tonkin during the early morning hours of the 19th, President Johnson declared an emergency draft. This one act literally sent MILLIONS of already neurotic Americans over the figurative edge. On the early afternoon of the 20th, what would later be known as 'Mayhem Monday', dozens of major riots occured in Detroit, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Jackson, Miss.; Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Los Angeles, San Francisco. Las Vegas, Baltimore, Miami, Atlanta, and even New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C.
Somebody's gonna come on top of this whole mess. The question is, who?
