American Empire: The Center Cannot Hold is the second book in the American Empire trilogy, and is part of the larger Southern Victory series. It starts in 1923, soon after the assassination of Confederate President Wade Hampton V. It shows the prosperity of the 1920s and the decline of the Freedom Party until the Austro-Hungarian bank failure and subsequent Great Depression. As a result of the depression, the ruling Whigs in the Confederate States lose power to the Freedom Party. The book ends on March 4, 1934, with the inauguration of Jake Featherston as President of the Confederate States.
