The Second American Revolution was the name given by Confederate States to the American Civil War after their victory in 1864. Time-travellers from a South African organization called Afrikanerweerstandsbeweging supplied Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and General Joseph Johnston's Army of Tennessee with large numbers of AK-47s and small amounts of other supplies. These advanced rifles more than made up for the Confederacy's limited manpower and industrial base.

After several weeks of training, the Army of Northern Virginia engaged the Federal military at Bealeton, Maryland. The Federals were completely surprised by the new "repeaters", and quickly collapsed. The ANV pressed on to Washington, DC where President Abraham Lincoln had remained despite the encroaching enemy. When Lee and his army arrived, Lincoln invited the rebel commander into the Executive Mansion to negotiate an armistice, ending major combat of the Second American Revolution.
