december, 1775...
As one tumultuous year draws to a close in the American colonies, the Second Continental Congress has disbanded for a brief reprieve with family. Yet there is no end in sight to the rebellion, and some have even begun to say “revolution,” that began last summer. In fact, more brave young men have started signing up to become part of the militia, which recently acquired a leader in General George Washington.
Boston Harbor remains blockaded by the Royal Navy; British regulars remain in the streets of Boston itself. There are those in Philadelphia who believe, as the meeting-place for the Continental Congress, they will be targeted next. In New York City, meanwhile, only a few have actually voiced support for these “traitorous” actions, though a group of students at King's College plan to soon change that. And in the south, there is talk everywhere not only of rebellion against the Crown, but of slaves rebelling against their masters. Nearly every colony is gripped by anxiety and even fear.
What will the new year hold? Reconciliation—or full-blown revolution? The day of reckoning has arrived for British America and their fate is in your hands.
