Climb Aboard the Republican Wagon Part 3: Nationalism Third Following the New American Republic's annexation of Dock Junction and the creation of the Dixie territory many more in the more southern an conservative area of Southern Georgia specifically in the City State of Savannah that the idea of a united south Georgian region would be a strong defense unfortunately their were many disagreements on this some called for attempting an invasion of the New American Republic to claim Dock Junction as their own and to form a Dixon Republic, however, others saw the idea of perhaps Dixie becoming a Commonwealth within the New American Republic to be a grander nationalist cause as while the New American Republic has in its name America and thus a claim to America it appears to be a more southern populist movement based out of its policies. Leading to arguments from within the City State that Savannah has a claim to Dock Junction and to be the start of Dixie but the Republic has a theoretical claim to the south as a whole and the best way to unite the Dixie is under the New America Republic but with their Dixon claim recognized within the Republic. Thus, this consent dispute has almost led to a small Civil War however, when it became evident that was going to happen the New American Republic sent a diplomat to the city stating the New American Republic would be willing to make Savannah the capital of a Dixon Commonwealth and to elevate Dixie to a Commonwealth. However, the diplomat also stated that if this offer is refused another city would get the honor of being the capital and more Savannah impotently lose out on taxable income from its administration and would be conquered by the New American army rather then be given this offer. This made it very clear that the City State had to choice less freedom now and more money or even less freedom and death. They had opted for the former as a good amount of the City State's populace would see the New American Republic as liberators regardless. However, at home this was criticized as to much strong arming of the city state and the New American republic should have let the civil war play out while disagree saying the New American Republic did the right thing in preventing bloodshed. Regardless though both sides do believe that the New American Republic had a duty to intervene just disagreed on when. Following this annexation the New American Republic gained 2000 people.
