Are you an electrician Colorado

Do you think you got the polarity crossed when you changed other outlets?

I am not an electrician. I do have experience with this and running basic outlets, wiring, etc. from the Army.

Polarity isn't crossed. Somehow the problem originated upstream from the outlets I was working on. I now have a "jumper" cable hooked up between outlet 1 & 2, as well as the original wiring hooked up as normal and it works now through the whole circuit.
