Womack

The Womack are an all African American tribe located in North-Western Georgia, in the Deep South.

History and Known Information
The Womack started as a collection of church parishes who grouped together at the onset of the plague. Already away from major centers of population, the parishes traveled deeper into the wilderness, eventually ending up several miles South of Appalachia. They dispatched or absorbed any small amount of remnants, and settled. The pastors became the new ruling class, settling into an abandoned massive Catholic church. A small village sprung up around the Church, first tents, and then shanties were raised. As roving bands of raiders and zombies continuously proved a threat, metal walls were installed all around the camp to better protect the villagers. Growing food within the walls proved to be difficult, back-breaking labor. Hunting could only provide so much food before all the deer and boar died out, and the surrounding stores were becoming more and more bare. To survive the Womack had to take what they needed from the small camps that dotted the countryside. When they began to migrate away, the Womack began capturing non-black people to do the farming for them.

They planted large plantations and raised livestock, all cared for by the enslaved outsiders. No blacks were allowed to be enslaved. After years of being a homogeneous group plagued by primarily white raiders, strong feelings of racism for all non blacks began to arise.

The raids got them into a skirmish with a Northern tribe, the Kenneckes. The two tribes met on the road, and began fighting immediately, based on race alone. Prisoners of war from either side became slaves. Both tribes grew, absorbing smaller tribes of their own race until just the two were left, Kenneckes, whites, in the North and Womack, blacks, in the South.

Culture
Womack culture revolves around religion, controlled by the pastor ruling class as well as constant vigilance against their Kenneckes rivals.
