Wright Patman in Southern Victory

Wright Patman was Governor of Texas during the Second Great War. As it became clear that the Confederate States were losing in 1944, and as the United States Army ran roughshod over his state, Patman seceded from the Confederacy and declared an independent Republic of Texas with himself as provisional President. He immediately concluded a separate peace treaty with the United States, sparing Texas the depravities which other Confederate states endured as the war ended. However, the US maintained a strong military presence in the republic, and Texas had to agree to turn over several Freedom Party officials suspected of war crimes, including Jefferson Pinkard.
