The '''Second American Civil War''' (October 19, 2031 – September 3, 2037), abbreviated as '''2ACW''', was a {{wp|civil war}} in the {{wp|United States}}/[[Reformed States]] between the R.S. (commonly known as "The Union") and the [[Free States (Second American Civil War)|Free States]], comprising [[New California]], [[New England (RSA)|New England]], [[Willamette]], and the [[Hawaii Republic]], who seceded in 2031 and 2032. The main conflicts leading to the war were the [[United States Term Limits Act]], an act passed by {{wp|United States Congress|Congress}} that was widely criticized as an authoritarian power grab, and the subsequent [[Term Limit riots]] that erupted across the nation.
