Dixie Mafia

The Dixie Mafia (officially the Legion For The Protection Of The Confederate States Of America, In The Service Of President Jefferson Davis) are a terrorist cell and criminal organization present in the American South, particularly in states which were once part of the Confederate States of America. The Dixie Mafia operates in many major cities, especially along the Gulf Coast, and, as of 1901, are based out of Montgomery, Alabama.

History
The Dixie Mafia was founded in 1865 by a group of Confederate Civil War veterans to ensure their "fair" treatment after the war (ie. not being hung for treason and still being able to abuse or even murder Freedmen). Many of the original founding members would later be involved with the Klu Klux Klan. By 1870, the Dixie Mafia had control of much of the marijuana industry in the state of Mississippi, and were expanding outwards. By recruiting a combination of disenfranchised Confederate veterans and impressionable young men and women, the Dixie Mafia was able to grow considerably quickly and was active in twelve states by 1890; Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Kentucky. In 1892, many of its members were rounded up and killed due to a rivalry with the Klan, and the two groups grew distant. In 1895, Dixie Mafia Major General Bart Tane formally denounced the group's ties to the Klan, hunted out members of the Klan within the Mafia and had them killed, and officially declared war on the Klu Klux Klan. Though the KKK is not an organized group and is more of a loosely associated fraternal brotherhood, the Dixie Mafia is a very real group that reportedly employs as many as 2,200 people throughout the southern states.

In 1901, members of the First Playthrough Party declared war on the Dixie Mafia and liberated several girls from their brothel in Shreveport.

Structure
The Dixie Mafia is led by a board of Generals in Shreveport. The mafia members from each state under the Mafia's "protection" elect a General for their state every five years. The Generals report back to Shreveport and make up a board of Generals of sorts. From this board, they elect one solid leader of the Dixie Mafia, the Grand General, also every five years.

The Dixie Mafia considers itself to be a legitimate form of people's government, and tries to emulate what they believe the American Confederacy should have looked like.
