Albany in Southern Victory
Albany was a city in the Confederate state of Georgia. In 1915, during the Red Rebellion, the Black Belt Socialist Republic proclaimed Albany as its capital. This status, and the Black Belt S.R. itself, came to an end later that same year when the Confederate Army broke up the new "nation" and killed all its leadership.
