Massachusetts

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a small nation situated in North America.

Early History
Throughout native times the main tribes controlling Massachusetts were the Mohican, controlling the west, the Wampanoag, controlling the south and cape cod, and the Swampscott, controlling the northeast. in 1620, the first English settlers landed in the Massachusetts Bay and established the Massachusetts bay colony. Boston, a city established in 1630, became a major trading area, and grew to have a large population. The first battles of the American war of independence occurred in Lexington and Concord, MA. Massachusetts is home many groundbreaking accomplishments in American History, such as the 1st public school, college, state to abolish slavery, underground trolley, and many accomplishments in modern medicine.

Collapse War
On December 15, 1935, Governor James Michael Curley, despite initially declaring his lack of will to secede at the start of the American Collapse, ordered the Massachusetts National Guard to peacefully detain all federal officials in Massachusetts,and to have them expelled. Shortly after he officially declared secession that morning at 10 AM, in a hastily convened state assembly, This came after Curley discovered plans for Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire to secede. After Massachusetts declared secession, the 2 remaining New England states seceded. The only combat Massachusetts saw during the collapse war was on the night of December 17 in Springfield, MA when a group of Federal Rangers opened fire on local militias, in an attempt to hold Springfield Armory from the State Government. After the Christmas Day Compromise and the end of the war, more debate erupted over the ability of the new President Curley to lead this fledgling nation. More and more reports have been found of his extreme corruption and mafia dealings as mayor of Boston.
