French forces in Louisiana help the inhabitants rebuild the state's infrastructure while the French Creoles celebrate victoriously just in time for Mardi Gras.

The Confederate States are reintegrated into the United States. The White League and all associated organizations such as the Sons of Confederate Veterans and United Daughters of the Confederacy are forcibly dissolved. Any and all mention of both the original Confederacy and the New Confederacy is prohibited and Confederate statues and monuments are taken down and destroyed. The National Equality Bloc is integrated into the current government and their push for civil rights for blacks causes the rest of the country to become more amenable to the idea of desegregation. The Pacific Self-Reliance Pact also inspires the Federal government, who strengthen the national government while allowing the states to govern themselves more freely. Harlem becomes a haven for African-Americans and musical styles such as Jazz and Blues quickly explodes both in the black population of Harlem as well as the black minority in the South who remained despite the racist policies of the White League. The country quickly recovers as Woodrow Wilson reforms the economy into a minor golden age that would only become stronger in the Roaring Twenties. When news of the Confederate surrender and the end of the Second American Civil War spreads across the country, crowds gather in Washington, D.C. to cheer President Wilson and to sing patriotic songs from the first civil war. Battle Cry of Freedom, Battle Hymn of the Republic, and Marching Through Georgia become popular throughout the northern states and the country becomes more united than ever.
