Line 81:
In early 1934, conservative General Edward Anderson lands on the Virginian peninsula in a military operation sponsored by New Netherland. This was known as the Yorktown landings. This was followed by the violent overthrow of Elijah V by the conservatives. Elijah V and five other high ranking members of the Prohibitionist Church were subsequently arrested, found guilty, and sentenced to death. Following the fall of Elijah V, the Prohibitionist Church took a sharp decline in its following, falling to only 6% of the entire population.
In 1934, the conservatives began drafting a new constitution for Virginia, and in August 1935, the new constitution was ratified. The fourth Republic of Virginia was established, with Prime Minister Rodger Taylor and the Civic Union Party in power.
