currently in the process of rewriting, but I'm leaving these up until i finish
the first part of the revolution (1765-1776) is up now, it's called this is not a moment, it's the movement
I. The Beginning
Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now!
-The Schuyler Sisters, Hamilton
VA-March 22, 1765
"What the bloody hell is this?" Ginny said. She held America's mail.
Specifically, an opened letter from England.
Scarlett and the other three boys lean forward.
"What's a Stamp Act?"* Wes asks as he attempts to read the letter upside down.
Two days later, the Quartering Act* is put into commencement.
(This is how a rebellion begins.)
Williamsburg, VA- May 29, 1765
"What are you calling them?" Elizabeth asks.
Patrick Henry* ruffles her hair. Virginia huffs. West just sighs as he receives the same treatment.
"They're called the Virginia Resolves*."
Patrick Henry is rewarded with the smiles of two twin personifications.
(Liberty or death, he had said earlier, not realizing that both halves of his colony were there, and listening.)
Boston, MA- June 1, 1765
Sam writes letters. The Massachusetts Assembly writes letters.
While the Assembly writes to the Assemblies of other colonies, Sam writes to her siblings, to her cousins.
Connie and Adam write back immediately, saying they support her. All four letters from the middle colonies arrive halfway through the month. (She had been afraid Brooke or Will would refuse, and split the colonies in half.) Scott writes back, the letter arriving two days after Will's.
Daniel is the only other southern colony to send a response, and even it is iffy. His letter arrives last.
Cam is having financial issues, she knows, and David has a problem with his Lieutenant Governor, but Elizabeth could have come. Scarlett could have come. Cecilia should have come-if only, to watch, like Adrien.
(Adrien, despite having no Colonial Assembly, would show up at the Assembly in New York two months later, looking like he felt he didn't belong- even though two Americans will fight anyone who said it.)
II. Early Rebellion
Understand? It's the only way to rise up, rise up!
-Right Hand Man, Hamilton
Boston, MA- August 14, 1765
The first slash trailing over her shoulders is unexpected. It feels like fire, burning her skin and all she can do is wait for it to go away.
She is on her knees, sobbing from the pain. Foster is half frantic-rapid, panicked French falling from his lips.
She cannot translate it at the moment, so she just lets the foreign words that as familiar as English wash over her.
It's the first of many scars. Rebellion, Uprisings, Riots.
This is the Stamp Act Riot.
They take the form of whip scars, and Sam laughs when she sees the in the mirror.
Boston, MA- August 20, 1765
No one pays attention to the short blonde boy with the green eyes listening from a corner.
Sam Adams shakes his head when he finally notices her.
