THE COURSE OF A NATION
SEASON 1, EPISODE 1: TAKING THE MANTLEGeorge Jefferson sides on the steps of the United States Capitol Building, with various political leaders of the time. The Chief Justice and him arise, as it is January 20th, 2041, Inauguration Day for the new President.
[Chief Justice] I do solemnly affirm...
[George Jefferson] I do solemnly affirm...
[Chief Justice] That I will execute the office of the President of the United States...
[George Jefferson] That I will execute the office of the President of the United States...
[Chief Justice] and will to the best of my ability,
[George Jefferson] and will to the best of my ability,
[Chief Justice] Preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
[George Jefferson] Preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God.
The Chief Justice sits down as G. Jefferson begins his inaugural address
[George Jefferson] I was named by my mother George Washington Jefferson, in honor of our first President. A President, like me, who took that previous oath of office. A man who took up the Mantle of the nation, in war, in peace, and in the hearts of his countrymen. Only Lincoln could claim to do as much. After Lincoln's unfortunate assassination, after the common cause of the North and of the nation as a whole collapsed, a Gilded Age descended upon the nation, where, until Theodore Roosevelt, corruption and ineffectiveness reigned rampant. Unfortunately, we could not learn from our history, and instead now we must pay the price of it. Since the fall of the Soviet Union and our opposition to Communism, our nation has divided ourselves, under the Bushes, Clinton, Trump, DeSanches, Newsom, and most recently the unpleasantness, rioting, and civil war under Alexandria Oscario-Cortes, and its time for the Second Gilded Age to end!
The crowd erupts into applause at this remark, and Jefferson continues in his speech

[Narrator] That day in 2041 began what became the most watershed year in American history, the new Valley Forge for the nation. However, a little backstory is needed. The Second Gilded Age was a term that came about during the DeSanches Administration, in reference to the corruption in both parties. Usually, it is applied to a period from 1993 up to 2033 and the beginning of the AOC Administration. However, life under AOC was not fun.

[Narrator] Gavin Newsom was elected President in 2028, beating incumbent President DeSanches in his re-election run and breaking 12 years of Republican rule in the White House. This was, given, with narrow victories under Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020, although DeSanches was able to pull ahead with. In a fierce primary between Mike Pence and Governor DeSanches, the Republicans went with DeSanches, who seemed capable of keeping the South in Republican hands. Nikki Halley, another popular in the Republican Party, became DeSanches's running mate. Although they won handily in 2024 (beating out unpopular Kamala Harris), they lost in 2028 after Israel fell in a war against the Palestine State and the US's being kicked out of NATO. Gavin Newsom was elected, and choose the radical AOC as his running mate. However, in 2031, Newsom was assassinated by a Florida resident suffering from a form of mental insanity. His death, and AOC's sudden rise to the presidency, shocked the nation.
The screen shows a campaign ad from the Tom Cotton for President organization
[Narrator] In November 2032, American was given the choice between two radicals, AOC and Tom Cotton. In a fierce election, many words where exchanged, political careers died, and even some casualties on election day occurred. AOC won the popular vote by a margin of 50,000 votes and had similar electoral luck. In 2033, she signed an executive order, later called the Radical Law, which prohibited usage of oil, natural gas, coal, and other technologies deemed non-Green. It also raised the minimum wage to 20 dollars an hour, a set a maximum wage of 50 dollars an hour. The nation was outraged, a economic depression occurred, and eventually 7 states (Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas, and South Carolina) nulled the order. AOC declared those states 'in revolt' and order the army to retake control of those states. With that, many Southern and Great Plains states revolted, and the Second American Civil War begun.
The screen switches to a large battle in Colombia, South Carolina.
[Narrator] AOC won the election in the United States handily, but the Organized States of America (the name given to the states in revolt) elected Tom Cotton. Eventually, the two factions made-up. AOC was impeached for unconstitutional use of power, and removed. Her Vice President, Pete Buttigieg, assumed power but refused to run in 2040 and a obscure figure, George W. Jefferson, won the election in 2040 on the Reconstruction Ticket.

Sounds interesting. Looking forward to seeing what develops although it seems the US is in for a very rough ride, at least until 2041 and I suspect beyond it. Since there's not much of a story if everything comes up peachy immediately.

[President Jefferson] In an angry rage A FREAK'IN CHINESE PLANE TOOK DOWN THE STATUE OF LIBERTY, THAT'S THE FACT! In a more calm tone I want an investigation. Everyone, NSA, FBI, CIA, even the frink'in IRS, I want every government organization investigating this. Also, put Governor Kennedy-Cuomo on the line.
Soon, President Jefferson is on the phone with NY Governor Cara E Kennedy-Cuomo, daughter of former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo and Granddaughter of former NY Governor Mario Cuomo as well as former NY Senator Robert F. Kennedy
[Governor Kennedy-Cuomo] Yes, Mr. President?
[President Jefferson] Governor, I'm sure you've heard of the situation on Liberty Island?
[Governor Kennedy-Cuomo] Unfortunately, I have heard.
[President Jefferson] I'd like to hear how you plan to respond.
[Governor Kennedy-Cuomo] First, with a Press Conference. Then, a full usage of the New York Police Department and National Guard to find if this is a 9/11 scenario or a true accident.
[President Jefferson] The Chinese send a plane into the symbol of the United States the same day they execute half there Uighur population and the same day Iran announces they have nuclear capacity. This is no accident.
[Governor Kennedy-Cuomo] What do you plan to do about this.
[President Jefferson] Nuke China out of existence.
[Governor Kennedy-Cuomo] Taken aback That's a little extreme, don't you think?
[President Jefferson] I believe this is part of a larger attack.
The line goes quiet for a moment
[President Jefferson] I have other matters to attend to. Make sure New York can handle this crisis better then any other. This puts 9/11 and COVID-19 to shame. Heck this puts the Second Civil War to shame. This is World War Three we are dealing with.
[Governor Kennedy-Cuomo] This will be New York's number 1 priority.
[President Jefferson] No. This will be the United State's number 1 priority,
BREAK
President Jefferson stands at in a room of Camp David to address the media
[President Jefferson] For those of you who have not heard, today, at 10:23 AM, on the date of January 27th, in the year of our lord 2041, this nation was attacked. Not just physically, but mentally, psychologically, even spiritually. This nation suffered a gashing wound, larger then those left after Fort Sumter, Pearl Harbor, and September 11th. The Statue of Liberty, the longtime symbol of freedom in the United States, was destroyed by a plane of the Chinese National Airlines, which departed from John F. Kennedy International Airport at 10:13 AM this morning. The full force of the FBI, CIA, NSA, even the IRS will be investigating the cause.
However, we as a nation should be forced to reconcile that this is an act of terror, of war, and of the most inhuman thing a nation can do to another nation, the most inhuman thing a person can do to another person. I ask Congress to formally declare war on the People's Republic of China, on the grounds that we where attacked.
President Jefferson turns around and begins to walk away. Then he turns back around
[President Jefferson] I will not let any nation have free reign killing American citizens!

THE COURSE OF A NATION SEASON 1, EPISODE 3: Battle Hymn of the Republic
Narrator: The United States and her allies quickly went to war against the Shanghai League. However, mysteriously, the nuclear arsenals excepted to wipe nations from the face of the earth refused to work, as if an unknown force was playing the two sides against each other. The United States launched the first attack at North Korea.
A contingent of 12 troops made up of American, British, Korean, and Japanese soldiers march threw N. Korean territory in the area between Kaesong and Haeju.
American Soldier #1: Commander, may we have our rations?
British Commander: No, you may when we capture the city.
American Soldier #2: Dell, please...
British Commander: Of all people, it is the Americans who complain. It was your statue that was destroyed, it was your nation attacked.
Korean Soldier #1: It's our families we are protecting here. Both of you Westerners can shut it about honor and glory. We're fighting for our lives.
The Contingent continues in silence for 2 and a half minutes. Then, bullets rage from behind the Jeep.
Japanese Soldier #1: I'm hit!
The remaining 11 soldiers take a defensive posture. However, it is meaningless. They are surrounded by the Korean, Chinese, and Russian forces.
[...]
Narrator: Overall, the United States and her allies where beginning to lose the war. Before Operation McHenry was deployed in mid-2042, South Korea had fallen, and Honshu was the last remaining Japanese Island. Forces in Europe managed to protect the nations of and west of Poland and Austria, but other nations in the Balkans and Baltics fell. Australia and New Zealand protected themselves from invasion as best they could, but even they could not avoid the occasional attempt to invade by the enemy. President Jefferson was in a difficult position.
Washington, D.C.
President Jefferson: What are we going to do?
Vice President Abbott: The best approach right now would be to evacuate mainland Europe and hide everyone in the Americas. We can't do much to save the East.
General Josef McMac: There is another option.
President Jefferson: What is it?
General Josef McMac: We call upon the citizen. We have more guns per capita then any other nation on the planet. If we mobilized our civilian force, we could save our nation?
President Jefferson: What makes you think that would work?
General Josef McMac: Francis Scott Key was a war criminal. He was no soldier, he was a lawyer. This nation remembers the loss it faced, the losses it is facing. They are patriotic. They will unite behind this cause.
President George Jefferson

THE COURSE OF A NATION SEASON 1, EPISODE 4 Narrator: The US has lost ground on all fronts. President Jefferson initiated an emergency civilian mobilization force, and this army was far from professional. However, this massive armed force of an armed militia, first was deployed in Busan, South Korea. BUSAN, SOUTH KOREAMilitia Leader: Men, Women, Boys, Girls, today we avenge our nation. Today, we avenge those lost in New York City. Today, we give liberty a lifeline! Troops: USA! USA! USA! Militia Leader: So fight, fight for your fathers and your mothers, fight for your sons and your daughters, fight for your nation! Troops march out to the US Army playing 'America the Beautiful' in the background.North of BusanN.K. Spy: Commander, troops are approaching. N.K. Commander: How many? N.K. Spy: More than 500,000 N.K. Commander: Over Intercom Troops, march onward! March! The Americans are upon us. Narrator: The American and North Korean troops clashed in Busan. The Americans, in a bloody rampage, destroyed the entire North Korean force. This civilian force reached Pyongyang in a matter of days, then make it as far into China as Shenyang, and disturbed Beijing. The civilian force was then deployed in Europe, where they made it as far as Russia. Lab somewhere in Wuhan, ChinaPRC Premier: What happened to our nukes! PRC Scientist #1: We did a test detonation. However, the bomb counter-detonated at the same time, negating the weapons destructionary ability. PRC Premier: In Chinese? PRC Scientist #2: The bomb won't work. PRC Premier: Why? PRC Scientist #3: They appear to have been tampered with, but this is too advanced to be America or her allies. PRC Premier: So what, aliens? PRC Scientist #2: Not necessarily. PRC Premier: Who is the culprit? PRC Scientist #2: This could be a secret project of the Americans or even the UN. PRC Premier: The UN? Really? We are on the Permanent Security Board, I doubt it. PRC Scientist #1: I think it's India. ...to be continued... |

THE COURSE OF A NATION SEASON 1, EPISODE 5 Narrator: The American troops continued. And continued. And they kept going. They seemed unstoppable for a short amount of time. The armies, invigorated by civilian troops, brought the front lines that where in the suburbs of Berlin in mid-2042 where brought to the suburbs of Moscow in the end of the same year. Siberia, North Korea, and Africa had fallen. Iran and Iraq seemed like they'd fall in around March of 2042. It all seemed to be over for the Chinese. However, the Chinese has a secret weapon of their own ready to deploy. Chinese Scientist #1: Sir, it is ready. Chinese Scientist #2: Putting it in front of the captured. A Humanoid Robot, nicknamed Joey, it the size and shape of a large boxer. He had guns attached to his arms. He goes in front of 5 Tiawanese soliders, who frantically fire at the machine before being torn into pieces.Chinese Scientist #2: I'll be ready to deploy this weapon soon. |
