The East Revolt
On March 1, 2026, former Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts launched "The East Revolt". The revolt was meant to get the east coast of the United States away from the division the United States created over the past decade. She claimed she would take the states of Massachusetts and Rhode Island for her revolt. Over the next 3 months, the revolt gained much support and was regarded as the "East Uprising" by the media. By July 2026, the movement had gained 1 million members. By January 2027, the movement had 13 million, or roughly 10% of its current population with other regions included. On September 6, 2027, the movement launched The East Armed Forces and initially began with just 9,000 troops, but, quickly expanded to 18,000 by 2028. On March 4, 2028, Massachusetts held a vote to decide if Massachusetts should stay in the United States or if it should secede. The vote was 56.8% in favor of seceding and Massachusetts Governor, Seth Moulton, officially declared that Massachusetts had seceded from the United States on June 19, 2028. Massachusetts was an independent country called The Federation of Massachusetts from June 19, 2028 to January 27, 2029 making it one of the shortest-lived countries on the American continent. On January 27, 2029, Rhode Island seceded from the United States and joined Massachusetts to make the United East Coast of America. The young country enacted Elizabeth Warren as its President and created the East American Assembly of Delegates as a legislative body.
