In 1861, as he begins his second term, President Walt Whitman states that 'the Constitution of the United States stands for all people, or it stands for no people.' He sends out a proclamation that slavery is illegal within the borders of the United States, and declares that all persons currently held as slaves within those borders would now be free. The nation braces for a southern rebellion against the Communist leader.
