For those of you who don't know the concept, we each write a short biography, usually no more than a paragraph long about famous people from OTL, but we imagine that they are all living in the same Alternate World. Therefore, if someone uses a person, they can only be used once. So please make sure you've checked to see that the people you write about haven't been taken yet, and that what you write about them fits with the "canon."
Same as theReturner’s thread, but with a different POD.
This is a world where the American Revolution failed.
My first post will simply set up the POD.
George Washington: Leader of the American Rebellion of 1770s (also known as Washington’s Rebellion). Washington started out as a loyal British Subject, serving as a Brigadier General for the British during the Seven Years’ War. However, Washington came to oppose British Rule over the Americas. Washington’s demise came when his troops were ambushed on December 25th, 1776, during his attempted crossing of the Delaware River. Though many rebel solders were killed, Washington survived. He was shipped off to London to face trial for treason against the crown. During his crossing of the Atlantic, the remaining Rebel Armies surrendered, thus bringing an end to the Rebellion. Washington was found guilty, and executed by hanging in 1778.
