Part I the American crisis

Chapter 1
March 9th, 1795.
I will defend this country from the traitors of New York and the “Hartford Alliance.” Ever since the constitutional convention fell through we have descended into madness. The whiskey rebellion may have failed but inspired by the high treason Connecticut and New Jersey attacked New York. Fricking traitors. I’ve begun the trek to Trenton in which I will defeat old friends and enemies to establish what the constitution sought to do. Long live the second revolution!

- Letter from General George Washington

The Hartford Alliance (HA) on March 10th besieged the city of New York. Six pounders smashed into the markets and buildings. New York militiamen dug trenches waiting for the upcoming assault. Approximately 1,200 HA soldiers charged the 700 New York militiamen and they have pushed back thanks to the brutality of leader Marquis Lafayette. They stood their ground in the trench firing the cannons directly into the charging soldiers. “We were able to randomly fire weapons and still managed to kill two soldiers minimum” Marquis Lafayette was quoted as saying ten years later. Though 89% of the New York militia died they were forever immortalized. Reinforcements arrived a day later led by James Clinton smashing into the right flank of the HA. The battle featured a total of 19,000 HA soldiers and 22,000 New York soldiers. Along with 3,000 militiamen from New York. With this Marquis Lafayette led a force of 15,000 to Connecticut and James Clinton a force of 19,000 to New Jersey. George Washington led his forces to the city of Woodberry with a force of 10,000. George Washington faced a rump force of 5,000 untrained militia encircling them outside the city suffering only 100 deaths. He then began the real march to Trenton where HA, James Clinton, and George Washington would meet in a battle that would decide history. Meanwhile, James Monroe ordered Sampson Mathews to invade Pennsylvania with 20,000 troops. FSA troops battled with the Virginia militia at Chesapeake bay. Marquis Lafayette’s 15,000 troops with the help of Henry Knox invaded Connecticut demolishing the militia that wasn’t rallying at Hartford. Meanwhile, John Adams retreated from Philadelphia and reached the New York border. The news got back to Jefferson as it was only two months since the war started and already they may have Adams on their side. He invited Adams to the capital of Albany for the Albany convention to approve the war constitution. Adams gladly accepted as long as he got the vice presidency. Jefferson accepted and as a measure of goodwill appointed Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of War. Rhode Island announced that it would join New York in the battle against the HA and FSA. James Clinton surrounded Newark clashing with 10,000 HA troops. Within the first week, James Clinton was pushed back and could only launch small raids of the city. He sent a letter to Secretary of the Navy Esek Hopkins to request naval backup. Esek Hopkins ordered the newly commissioned N.Y Democracy to lead the attack on Newark along with several corvettes. The fleet arrived on June 9th bombarding the defensive placements. The HA forces responded with a naval raid attacking the N.Y Democracy. Private Pat Kennedy led the defense throwing a grenade into one of the attacking boats killing the crew. He along with nine other men rotated a cannon and began shelling the attacking troops forcing them into the water. He was originally arrested for these actions as the cannon stunt killed at least nineteen NY soldiers. But after a week he was released on charges of manslaughter and promoted to a petty officer for his actions. The attack on the fleet was repelled and a month later on July 9th James Clinton captured Newark and made his way to Trenton. On July 17th the Albany convention was called with several representatives including George Clinton, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, Aaron Burr, and Albert Gallatin. They along with twenty-nine others proposed and voted on amendments to the war constitution.

1. This document is temporary and after this war is over, which is when a treaty of peace is signed with the parties will be recreated. 2. Everyone has freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of thought. 3. Freedom to bear arms and have a regulated militia. 4. Everyone has a right from warrantless search and seizure. II any seizure must be compensated with the consent of the owner of course. 5. Slavery is banned in any shape or form. 6. The government has a right to subpoena unless an individual or group pleads that it will reveal criminal evidence against them. In this case, the government cannot charge them in contempt. 7. To call a constitutional convention, ⅔ of states must call for one or ⅘ of congressmen. 8. The requirement to vote is to be a citizen and no restrictions can be put or else that person or group has committed voter fraud. 9. It is congress's duty to impeach those who have committed the crimes of treason, perjury, obstruction of justice, bribery, conspiracy, voter fraud, violations of these amendments, and other high crimes. II To impeach the president a simple majority is required in the House and a ⅔ majority in the Senate to convict. 10. The president cannot suspend democracy whether it is an election federal or local this is treason. II Nor can congress suspend democracy.

And with this document, Jefferson had the moral cause to justify war. Also with the war constitution on July 19th Massachusetts announced it would be joining New York and on July 21st so did Maine. On July 22nd Philadelphia was captured by Sampson Mathews defeating the FSA after three days. The Richmond Declaration was announced after nine days of closed-door debates. It read as follows 1. Freedom of speech, religion, and thought. 2. Right to a militia. 3. Right to owning slaves as they are property. 4. A House of Representatives will be established. 5. The government has a right to draft men to the army. 6. Right from warrantless seizure. 7. Congress has a right to impeach officials for high crimes.

Mocked relentlessly in New York as skeletal and hypocritical in regards to freedom considering slavery wasn’t even outlawed. Several hundred soldiers deserted Washington as he made his way through New Jersey fighting the HA militia’s who’ve inflicted heavy casualties on his army. Then he had to split his army to try and beat back Sampson Mathews. Otherwise in the FSA crime was rampant and in the capital of WDC protest against Washington began. Then massive strikes against ammunition plants began. As many saw New York as justified in their crusade against the HA to make a more perfect union. These strikes and protests started small at maybe 700 maximum. But with the release of the war constitution and the slow walk to Trenton protests and strikes exploded. In response to this Washington declared martial law and broke the strikes and protests up. This caused thousands to desert and flee to New York and Virginia. Now Washington had 9,000 troops for the battle of Trenton while the HA had 21,000 and James Clinton 31,000. So George Washington announced a truce with the HA combining his 9,000 troops with their 21,000 and aided by 7,000 militia members. Still, though James Clinton was expecting another 2,000 troops and had 4,000 militia members and was expecting another 10,000.

Chapter 2

A letter reached Thomas Jefferson’s oak desk. He assumed it was from Marquis Lafayette as he was expected to attack Hartford on July 31st. So he expected an update today on August 6th. Instead, it was from the governments of New Hampshire, Vermont, and Delaware. New Hampshire and Vermont said they would join us if we would change the name New York to New England saying that they don’t want to be known as New York. Thomas Jefferson told Aaron Burr to propose this to congress. But Delaware was an interesting case. They gave intel on landing spots and begged for a naval invasion of the state to break them free of the tyrannical grip of George Washington. Jefferson ordered Esek Hopkins to draw up plans for an invasion of Delaware. Marquis Lafayette began the attack on Hartford with 23,000 troops along with 10,000 militiamen. Half of the town was leveled by August 5th and by August 13th the city surrendered. A total of 23,000 people died and 30,000 injured. With this, the HA collapsed in New England and James Clinton fired the first shots at Trenton. Virginia began an attack on the southron states of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. A group of militiamen led by a young lad named Andrew Jackson lead the attack seizing crucial cities. Including Charleston and Savannah and Raleigh. James Monroe was re-elected by the House of Richmond in a landslide. On August 13th James Clinton’s cavalry charged into FSA troops suffering minor casualties. In response to the overwhelming majority of James Clinton’s army George Washington ordered a scorched earth policy. The battle lasted a week and on August 20th George Washington retreated from Trenton. On August 29th the Albany Congress renamed New York to the Republic of New England or New England as it’s referred to. From August 21st-January 20th New Jersey was put down with brutal force. Many towns burned down but that was nothing compared to the second battle of Philadelphia. Sampson Mathews battled George Washington. Sampson Mathews had a force of 25,000 and George Washington counted 23,000. Led by colonel Arnold Nitze they fought street to street in the cold both low on food. What Sampson didn’t prepare for was what cost him the battle. George Washington and Arnold Nitze low on food and with troops starting to desert panicked and lit several dozen fires. The ensuing inferno spread so fast that even Sampson Mathews didn’t escape and was killed. ½ of Philadelphia burned and a total of 19,000 died. The battle sent shockwaves to Albany and Richmond. Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe announced a temporary truce in order to catch Arnold Nitze and George Washington. On March 2nd George Washington ordered a suicide attack of 700 troops into Virginia attacking Arlington. On March 3rd another one was launched at Woodville this time with 800 inflicting heavy casualties on us. On March 20th however, Lafayette and Clinton launched an offensive towards Philadelphia. On April 9th it was captured and Washington retreated into Maryland. Of course, he then got the news that Esek Hopkins had landed in Delaware and taken Dover by April 12th. The most wanted man in America was surrounded as Charles Lee of Virginia took back Arlington. In Richmond James Monroe announced that South Carolina and North Carolina had surrendered. Georgia was on the brink of collapse and James Madison the Prime Minister. Who controlled the economic policy and infrastructure announced the Charleston Declaration: any state or territory that voluntarily joined Virginia would be given an economic reimbursement plan that would develop the states or territory. Also, they would be given an immediate choice of representatives and a state legislature. The House of Richmond voted on a bill on February 12th as an incentive to Georgia. Virginia would promise not to prosecute their leaders for high treason. Georgia accepted and James Madison visited Atlanta proclaiming $100,000 would be used to develop the industrial section of the city and to develop the slave and farming industries. On March 21st several veterans from the Revolutionary War rebelled in WDC taking over three blocks. FSA troops tried to maintain order and attempted to storm the blocks. Snipers were ready however and picked off a decent number of troops as they ran to cover. When they stormed the buildings the rebels were there to shoot them as gunpowder filled the crowded entrances and men screamed in agony. The FSA troops were pushed back. They brought out a cannon the next day and bombarded the blocks destroying nine buildings. They continued the next day and one cannonball went through a window of a bakery crashing into an oven exploding. It was being used to feed children in the rebelling and to make matters worse the bakery was now on fire. The fire spread from building to building as men, women, and children ran to escape. The rebellion surrendered as the fire destroyed the rebelling blocks and two other blocks of the poor. On March 22nd an assassin escaped prisoner of war Milo Hansolff tried to kill Thomas Jefferson but missed killing George Clinton instead. He was arrested and charged with attempted murder, 2nd-degree murder, and escaping from prison. He was sentenced to death for attempted murder and murder and another 20 years for escaping prison. On March 23rd Esek Hopkins and Marquis Lafayette’s forces attacked WDC. Washington had a total of 8,000 men and New England 39,000 men with James Clinton wrapped up in Pennsylvania with 26,000.

Chapter 3

William V was invited to Albany two months ago by Thomas Jefferson. After the French invasion of Holland forced him into exile he’s been praying for his kingdom back. Thomas Jefferson gave him the next best thing. He promised him the governorship of Delaware. So gathering anti-Napoleon Dutch and with the help of Thomas Jefferson, they set sail for New York City. Marquis Lafayette and James Clinton were given gold medals with two muskets forming an X in the middle in absentia. This would become known as the Presidential Medal of Honor. On June 2nd James Clinton stormed the city of WDC defeating the small force of FSA troops. Arnold Nitze tried to flee to Virginia and was shot by a hunter after he thought he was a deer. The hunter at first thought it was a soldier from Virginia but after realizing it was indeed the war criminal himself Arnold Nitze. George Washington would be arrested in a WDC warehouse on the same day for high treason and war crimes by Lincoln Aaron Hauss. James Monroe and Thomas Jefferson met in Richmond to discuss bringing the country back together. They agreed on most things like freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and impeachment. But they had one major disagreement: slavery. New England felt that abolishing slavery was non-negotiable and Jefferson tried to get a compromise through that would allow states to abolish it if they want. It failed in Albany and it looked like another war was on the horizon. On October 21st a referendum was planned to see if the states wanted to be a part of Virginia, New England, or a new country. Every northern state decided to join New England and in the south, every state voted to be a part of Virginia. Except for Delaware which was split fifty-fifty in which New England announced it will annex it. James Monroe despite some pressure decided against action as he said: “No one important ever comes from there. Let New England seize it, we'll have Maryland instead.”

Couple of reasons 1. Yes it is an allusion to Superman’s “Truth, justice, and the American Way 2. It was a easy quote to change and give a glimpse into my TL
3. It sounded nice

On the technical side, some of the paragraphs are quite lengthy. Breaking them up would increase readability.

Thanks for the feed back I will break them up at parts where I can.

So this is similar to the Hartford Convention except New England (and possibly New York) potentially secede? Nice twist, considering most people have the Southern states secede instead of the Northern ones. I admit to being guilty of this cliche. Watching this.

Chapter 4

On November 1st the Albany trial began. The charges against Washington were high treason, war crimes (4 counts), and violation of the 2nd amendment of the New England constitution and the 1st amendment of the Richmond declaration. As evidence for Washington’s war crimes twenty witnesses from Philadelphia in regards to the Philadelphia massacre. He was found guilty and sentenced to death. He was due in court under the orders from the jury and given a prison cell in Albany city prison. He was given a spoon and a bowl of soup by the guards. He broke the spoon and when the guard wasn’t looking and slit his wrist killing him in minutes. George Washington’s death was celebrated in the streets by tens of thousands across America. People burned the American flag and his photo. Thomas Jefferson wept when he heard the news saying “how could someone so great fall so far that they consider suicide mercy?” Jefferson decided to declare November 1st liberation day. A day to commemorate the brave men who fought against the HA and FSA. On November 5th Thomas Jefferson declared the 1st amendment of the New England war constitution declaring the 3rd constitutional convention. The Albany Congress began drawing up plans and Thomas Jefferson before he set out to Richmond. ‘I nominate John Adams as the speaker of the 3rd Constitutional Convention and Marquis Lafayette as the co-speaker.’ The 3rd Albany constitutional convention held an election to determine a speaker and Aaron Burr ran for speaker and John Adams too. Marquis Lafayette was elected co-speaker (another way of saying replacement in case John Adams or Aaron Burr died) and John Adams was elected speaker. Aaron Burr was put on the reform committee as co-chair and Alexander Hamilton as the other co-chair. First, the committee decided to get rid of the 1st amendment as it was only considered temporary by the congress and Jefferson himself. Jefferson went to Virginia to visit James Monroe and to try and cooperate with Virginia.

The House of Richmond proposed to the constitution a way to vote on amendments the 8th amendment read: to add an amendment to the Constitution a sitting member of the House of Richmond must propose the amendment to the House and it will become law if ⅔ vote yes and half of the states vote for the new amendment to become law by their respective Houses. Every member of the House of Richmond approved this amendment after one day of debate on November 21st.

On November 22nd James Madison and Thomas Jefferson met in a schoolhouse since there was no official diplomatic meeting area in Albany. They agreed to sign a nonaggression pact and to sign the treaty of Atlanta. The treaty of Atlanta would create the Atlanta Alliance (AA). The AA would work like this: 1. The countries if one country is attacked the other would back the other one, 2. They would engage in free trade and 3. They would help each other settle the west. The AA was sent to the House of Richmond and the Albany congress where it was ratified. Thomas Jefferson headed back to Albany to attend the 3rd constitutional convention.

The 3rd constitutional convention had created 4 new amendments: 9. To elect someone president the electoral college will be used. Every state will have electoral votes based on its population size. 10. Every state will elect representatives to the New England House of Representatives according to population size. II districts will be drawn by state legislators according to the populations of each area. III Representatives will be elected by popular vote in their respective district. IV Each state will have two senators elected by popular vote in their state. V representatives will be elected and re-elected every two years. VI Senators will be elected and re-elected every six years 11. The President has a right to create agencies and dissolve agencies with the approval of congress. 12. To ratify treaties the president must send it to congress 1st. II Congress has to pass the treaty in both chambers and the president will have to sign it.

The AA was passed by the Albany congress on December 1st while the amendments were passed the next day on December 2nd. Thomas Jefferson on December 29th announced the next presidential election will be on November 6th, 1799 while the rest of the elections will be on the same day for governor, representative, and senator. Half of the senate elections have been determined by the constitutional convention.

Meaning there will be senate seats up for grabs in 1801. Meanwhile, James Monroe looks to the Spanish colony of Florida. The colony is desolate and would make a good place for sugar plantations. Also, it would make an excellent staging area for the seizure of Cuba and Puerto-Rico. Though at the moment it would be a better idea to buy Florida instead of fighting against Spain and getting wrapped up with the war in Europe. Charles Pinckney of South Carolina was sent as the Secretary of State to Madrid to negotiate the sale of Florida for $20,000. On February 19th, 1798 Charles Pinckney returned to Virginia and delivered the news the Spanish refused. James Monroe ordered Charles Pinckney to incite a rebellion in Florida by the Seminole tribe with the promise of freedom from slavery and modern technology along with a homeland. Major Jackson was sent as a representative and the Seminole accepted. On March 3rd, 1798 the Seminole began raids against Spanish fortresses and settlements. With most of the Spanish forces wrapped up in Europe, the Spanish dug in and attempted to go on the offensive. 500 Spanish troops tried to attack a Seminole hideout deep in the forest and were ambushed by Seminole troops. Forces under Major Jackson pushed the Spanish out of Florida by June 9th. Several anti-southron and anti-Seminole groups tried resisting but were ambushed in the thick forest of Florida.

Part II A New Future

Chapter 5

“On this day July Fourth, 1798 I promise all of my fellow Englanders a glorious new future. One of peace and one of prosperity where every farmer can feed his family and no monopoly can infringe on the rights of the working man. Aaron Burr has introduced a bill that would cut taxes on farmers and this is just the first step in ensuring every American has a chance at life.”

• Thomas Jefferson speaking

On July 5th, 1798 the British ambassador to New England met with the Secretary of State of New England James Clinton. The first part of the meeting was to figure out who owned the midwest as it was called as Britain said they would cede it after the Americans won the American War. Of course, the US didn’t exist anymore since the Second American War. The British ambassador said to James Clinton that Virginia and New England would first have to come up with a way to split the land. Only then would Britain give away the midwest. So James Clinton was sent to Richmond to talk with Prime Minister James Madison. On July 30th they came up with a resolution that would give New England anything north of the Ohio River and Virginia anything below the Ohio River. The resolutions were approved by the House of Richmond and the Albany Congress on August 3rd. Under the threat of war by the AA Britain ceded the territory. Settlers flocked to the newly created territories of Indiana and Ohio. The states of Kentucky and Tennessee were created by Virginia. The First Seminole War as it would be called dragged on as the southron resistance movement battled the Virginian backed Seminole. Thousands of Spanish soldiers arrived from the American colonies. Thousands of slaves arrived to build forts to combat the Seminole. The Seminole responded by raiding supply convoys and freeing slaves to join the Seminole nation. The Spanish tried to push deep into Florida but failed due to disease and the superior tactics of the Seminole. At the main Spanish base in Tallahassee, 700 new slaves arrived on August 9th. The Seminole raided the city targeting the military camps and destroying the weapons industry. Around 2,000 Spanish troops defended the city from 900 Seminole who evened the odds by encouraging a slave rebellion. The slaves flanked the Spanish from the back using any weapon they could find. The Spanish resistance collapsed and the Seminole with newly freed slaves leveled 30% of the city. In total 300 slaves, 200 Seminole, and 1,000 Spanish died. The Albany Congress passed its first bill which was signed by Thomas Jefferson. The bill was a small tax increase on the wine of 5% per ounce. This caused a small protest in Boston numbering 400 people.

Two factions began to rise in the Democratic-Republican Party. The Republicans a center-left faction that advocated for the working class and farmers. Supporting a more decentralized government and was for taxing the rich mainly and led by Aaron Burr, Thomas Jefferson, and Marquis Lafayette. The Democrats were center to center-right advocating a centralized government, was more pro upper class, supported a gradual tax increase, fewer taxes on the rich, and lower tariffs. Both opposed slavery and supported its criminalization. The Democrats were led by John Adams, Henry Knox, Rufus King, and Alexander Hamilton. On August 13th the Democrats passed through a small tax increase on the middle class. Thomas Jefferson vetoed the bill to the support of most Englanders. Thomas Jefferson fired Secretary of War Alexander Hamilton and replaced him with Marquis Lafeyette on August 15th. Marquis Lafeyette was confirmed on August 17th. On August 27th Thomas Jefferson signed a bill allowing the expansion into the midwest. Indians clashed with several settlements in Ohio territory. Thomas Jefferson sent federal troops into Ohio territory to protect settlements on September 3rd. Virginia offered to buy Florida from Spain for $10,000 on September 8th and was rejected on September 10th. On September 11th James Monroe ordered Secretary of State Charles Lee to secretly transfer more arms and cannons to the Seminole. On September 12th the House of Richmond approved a small tax increase on Wine and Whiskey at 5% per ounce copying the New England wine tax. On September 23rd the Spanish began another offensive against the Seminole. On September 27th French troops numbering 400 raided a Seminole village defeating the 200 strong Seminole force. On November 1st Seminole troops aided by Virginian scouts ambushed 100 of the French troops killing 13. On November 13th Thomas Jefferson appointed an election committee to plan the 1799 elections. The committee’s leaders were Rufus King, Aaron Burr, and Marquis Lafayette. This was an attempt at bipartisanship by Thomas Jefferson as he saw fueling political flames for the young country could lead to another armed conflict. Considered a ridiculous thought by Dr. Cuomo of NYU.

From “The history of New England 1795-1820” by Dr. Cuomo © 1976: The fact such a stable nation like New England would have collapsed anytime after 1797 is absolutely a myth. Of course, it gained steam thanks to Thomas Jefferson believing in it. The reason is that the Democrats and Republicans agreed on almost everything except economic policy and even that was minor. The only militias that existed at the time were anti-government tyranny and were created to defend against Indian attacks. Sure some would argue we could have seen an earlier civil war but that was caused by anarcho-capitalist policies at the risk of sounding biased. This on top of the over militarized police causing a frankly justifiable level of dissent. Pg 127.

Though Jefferson’s bipartisanship did lead to no challenger in the 1799 election. Of course, another factor was that no one could go against a war hero and the savior of democracy without ruining their career.

From the book “Jefferson: The first savior of democracy” By George C. Wallace © 1968: Thomas Jefferson knew he wasn’t going to get a challenger. So in the meantime, he started to strengthen the military by sending them off to fight in Ohio or Indiana. Soon enough the Indians were pushed back into the forest of Illinois and Indiana. This led to the leaders of the tribes making a trip to Toronto and soon enough by the 1799 election on November 3rd the first shipment of guns arrived. The 1799 election was nothing of note as Thomas Jefferson was elected president and John Adams as Vice. Thomas Jefferson was informed by a spy that the British may have sent weapons to the Indians. Thomas Jefferson ordered his Attorney General Levi Lincoln Sr. to investigate the matters. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on if you ask a yellow or a red) the intel community wasn’t nearly as big as it came to grow or how large it is now. Point is the Brits got away with this act of war scot-free for the time. The Indians instead of subjecting responded to settlers' boss’ in them around shot back with equal or heck even better weapons. This was a constant pain for the Jefferson administration which led to a total of 12,000 troops being sent into the territories of Indiana and Ohio. This escalated tensions even further. As the Indians justifiably wanted a homeland like the Englanders. Of course, Jefferson didn’t even try to de-escalate the situation instead of offering them unfair treaties. How would you like it if you were powerless and had to sign an embarrassing treaty? And that’s why the Indians chose to fight overflight.

From the book “The history of New England 1795-1820” by Dr. Cuomo: the 12,000 troops that were sent to Indiana and Ohio territory did de-escalate (contrary to what Wallace the hack lies about). The Indians unjustifiably attacked our troops and refused to take the treaties while making a peace deal with us. Because unlike Jackson and the southrons we Jefferson or Lafayette wouldn’t have broken these treaties. Point is the Indians continued to wage a not so secret war against New England and this caused 200 deaths in 2 years from 1800-1802. Anyways if we did nothing and let the Indians kill hundreds of our citizens. So the troops prevented more attacks and this proves my point. Attacks went down from 31 per month to 19 attacks per month. What Wallace publishes is frankly out of jealousy for the fact New England has only twice instead of three? Five times? And if anyone knows how to win a war it definitely is New England, unlike the idiotic southrons. Now back to the history. New England troops played defense and followed settlers in zones where attacks were high. Meanwhile, in Albany, congress passed a law stating that the capitol will be in Albany New York. Albany was chosen because Albany was the city that hosted the two constitutional conventions. Another reason was it’s a city that was unscathed in the American War. The New York legislature met in NYC and made NYC the capital of New York.

Chapter 6

On March 4th, 1800 Thomas Jefferson was sworn in as the president for his 2nd term. John Adams was sworn in as the Vice President. On March 6th Aaron Burr despite being disliked by Jefferson became the Senate Majority Leader. Meanwhile, Rufus King is elected Speaker of the House. So far a couple of months into congress the Democratic-Republican party has been fractured. It is as of July 4th, 1800 only a party in the name. The Democrats are led by John Adams and Alexander Hamilton and control the House. While the Republicans own the senate. On July 5th House Minority Leader Albert Gallatin introduced a bill that would help fund France against Britain. “France has constantly been fighting for democracy and liberty. We need to support the men who fought for us in the American Revolution. Napoleon has given blacks equal rights and banned slavery unlike the southrons while we’re allies with them. If we can actively support an oppressive caste system to the south then we can support another freedom fighter across the Atlantic.” The bill was struck down easily by the Federalist arguing another war against Britain would be suicide. Albert Gallatin embarrassed the Republicans even more by picking a fight with Jefferson over his response in which he backed the Democrats calling the proposition “a dangerous expansion of the federal government.”

In Florida, the Spanish government gives up in the First Seminole war and gives Florida to Virginia for $21,000. The Seminole as a part of the deal gets their own homeland and some development money. The Madison Plan as it’s called is a way to annex Indian land by giving them money, developing cities, and giving them decent land to use. Settlers began to move into the Mississippi Territory which was under the governorship of Charles Lee. Settlers brought hundreds of slaves to the new territory. James Monroe as soon as Florida was acquired opened the land to settlers except in the Seminole designated areas for development or if they were already owned by the Seminole. Any violation will be prosecuted in either the Seminole court or Virginian court. Some in the House of Virginia protested these actions and tried to block the bill but nevertheless the House of Virginia passed the bill 43-19 which was signed by PM James Madison and president James Monroe on June 17th. The total death toll of the First Seminole War was counted at 12,000 dead. Andrew Jackson was put in charge of Fort Lee near Tallahassee on June 20th. Charles Lee and James Monroe agreed not to release the involvement in the First Seminole War until at least 1810. Europe was going up in flames thanks to the French Revolution.

Thomas Jefferson began to bicker more and more with John Adams. John Adams was fully prepared to run against Jefferson if he was dropped from the ticket. Of course, John Adams knew it was better to wait it out and let Jefferson finish his tenure than run against him. By October 1800 the economy was booming as trade increased and manufacturing jobs got a pay raise. Taxes were cut on July 19th from 10% for the middle class to 8%. The rest of the year saw an economic boom for Virginia and New England as more of their population was lifted out of poverty. With the Napoleonic wars waging in Europe thousands of people looked to escape the violence. By the end of 1800, 4,000 people immigrated to New England while 3,000 immigrated to Virginia. In Florida, the Southron resistance movement began attacks on new Virginian settlements on August 1st. Former Spanish citizens opened fire on towns. Throwing rocks through windows taking anything of remote value. Once all the jewelry, gold, and guns were taken they shot and killed anyone who resisted beyond curses through their rears and burned the homes of resistors to add to the carnage. James Monroe in what was one of his final acts of president sent 1,000 additional troops to try and protect the settlers and train militias. The southron resistance movement after a raid retreated into the forests of Florida taking the tactics from the Seminole. This reversed the playing field as in a normal battle the southron resistance movement would get slaughtered while they could control the playing field in sneak attacks, raids, and in some cases suicide attacks in which men with swords and sticks of “black powder.” Black powder sticks were little wooden sticks filled with black powder which you lit to explode. The powder stick as they’re called decimated the militia resistance and patrols shocking and killing troops with ease.

By November 300 Virginian soldiers and settlers and 200 southron resistance members were dead. In New England, Albert Gallatin met with another faction of the Democratic-Republican Party. This faction stood for a stronger military in order to spread democracy and freedom across the globe, a flat tax, the power for the government to buy land from countries, peace with Indian tribes, a strong hatred of anti-liberty citizens (or anyone who wasn’t patriotic enough) as anyone who criticized this country was an enemy of liberty right? And a heavy focus on abolishing several unnecessary government agencies. These included the secretary of the treasury as it was seen as unconstitutional by the faction to regulate at the federal level or even at all. The man who had the most power of the faction was Aaron Burr. Aaron didn’t hate Jefferson however rumors were that Aaron Burr was going to be kicked out of the senate majority leader spot as Jefferson would much rather prefer John Stark, a loyal senator from New Hampshire. Also, Aaron Burr realized the spreading democracy with the military force part would maybe work out. A grin formed on his face as he walked out of the office. By Christmas Albert Gallatin and Aaron Burr had enough people on board to put up an effective challenge in the midterms. In November James Monroe sent another 700 troops to Florida in an attempt to destroy the southron resistance movement to no avail. Troops were sent into the forest to try and destroy settlements and hideouts in which they were promptly ambushed and forced to retreat by the southron resistance movement. James Madison’s plan to simply develop the area and convince the locals to accept their fate as Virginian citizens failed, as the funds were going to plantations and the coastal cities. While the rural areas got pennies in comparison which led to a strong resentment by the local Spanish population. James Monroe, however, tried to get Thomas Jefferson to send troops under the AA which failed as Jefferson didn’t want to get into another war after less than five years of peace. Also, Jefferson had the midterms to worry about and to unseat the annoying and damaging to the cause of liberty Albert Gallatin. Virginia wasn’t doing that bad even to be fair. They’ve managed to fortify 20% of settlements in the territory although they’ve mainly been coastal settlements being raided not nearly as much. By the end of 1800, another 200 settlers were dead but on the bright side, 300 resistance members were dead. One settler recounted his experience.

I was minding my own business going shopping in the market square picking out apples and loaves of bread and putting them into a white paper bag. When I heard gunshots and the sound of glass breaking. All of a sudden an explosion rocked the market square and I looked to my left to see a black man and a white man screaming some crap in Spanish. The white man began throwing little sticks after lighting them with a match and throwing them all over the place at every building in sight. All while the black man fired a pistol at anyone who resisted including my husband Alexander. Alexander took out his pistol from the American Civil War and blasted the black man in the chest. Blood spewed out of his chest and turned his white shirt dark red. However, the black man shot at my husband forcing another man to shoot the black man in the head with his musket. The white man was stabbed to death by one of the women Linda, her name was stabbing him in the back puncturing his lungs and killing him.

Chapter 7

On January 19th, 1801 Marquis Lafayette traveled to the newly built fort Clinton in Ohio territory. A small town of 2,000 calling it “Clintonopolis” had just recently sprung up. The fort and town were named after the great but late James Clinton and his also great but late brother George Clinton. May God bless their souls Marquis Lafayette thought to himself as he entered the map room as it was dubbed by the soldiers there. General William Clark greeted Marquis Lafayette shaking his hand. “I hope your travel was good sir.”
“It was very pleasant besides the winter Clark,” Lafayette shook Clark’s hand and gave him a brief smile. “How’s the treaty with the Indians going?”
Clark’s face turned slightly white and he said: “they’ve rejected our treaty since they don’t trust us and well they don’t want to move out west.”
“Great… offer them more money then Cark.”
“Well sir according to our translator they don’t want the money we’ll give them they want to be guaranteed their own nations! Kind of like the Iroquois Confederacy guaranteed by the government!” said Clark raising his voice annoyed at the situation.
“Well tell the Indians to take the money and stop murdering our settlers or face our troops on the battlefield!”
“Sir they view it as us taking their land. How would you like it if the Indians started settling New York or Pennsylvania or Massachusetts?”
“We won that territory fair and square from the red coats we shot in the Revolution! So, deliver the order or you will be relieved of command Clark!”
“Yes, sir!” Marquis Lafayette walked out of the room and William Clark saluted him as he became visibly worried at the situation that was quickly unfolding before his eyes.

Andrew Jackson got off his horse and took his telescope out of his pocket. Several men, black and white working together carrying guns and flying the flag of the southron resistance. He motioned to his men to get ready to attack. He drew his saber and began looking for an entrance to the camp. He saw one around 100 feet away to the left of him. He got on his horse and led his troops to the entrance where a man was peeing. Jackson decapitated the man as he turned around and charged into the camp slashing at men as they ran and tried to shoot him. His men fired back at the unprepared fools and after 10 minutes the camp surrendered to Jackson and his men. Thirty men laid dead and 50 captured. Only five of his men died and he led his troops back to Tallahassee through the night.

On February 1st, 1801 PM James Madison announced his intention to seek a term for the presidency of Virginia. This was after he visited Atlanta to discuss treaties with the Indian tribes. They agreed that only 500 settlers approved by the tribes in exchange for the Indians wouldn’t attack Virginia.

The only other important event to happen in February on the 15th was William Clark managed to get an answer from the Indians: they told him no they won’t stop attacking until they promise them that they can stay on their land. William Clark delivered the news to Lafayette. Lafayette wrote a letter to Jefferson saying: ‘President Jefferson we received the news at Fort Clinton that the Indians won’t stop raids and attacks until we promise them they can stay on their land. I request an immediate response in order to determine our action for the safety of our settlers. Best regards Marquis Lafayette.’

A letter came from Thomas Jefferson on March 4th: ‘Marquis Lafayette I got confirmation from congress to declare war on the “Iroquois Confederacy” to protect our settlers and reclaim the land we won in the Revolutionary War. I have sent another 10,000 troops who will arrive in three days. God bless you, your men, and our citizens against this menace.

• Best regards Thomas Jefferson.

Lincoln Aaron Hauss was a part of the first major battle on March 2nd. He led his 200 men to the right side of Marquis Lafayette´s force of 10,000. They got reports from scouts that a massive force of maybe 5,000 Iroquois troops was gathered 50 miles west of Clintonopolis. He was at the battle of WDC nothing would change he thought to himself. A messenger ran up to him and said out of breath: “Lincoln A. Hauss commander of the Connecticut 5th?¨
“Correct.”
“you are hereby ordered by general William Clark to make your way up to the front 300 feet to your left as you will be charging against the Iroquois troops!”
“Men follow my lead!” Lincoln Aaron Hauss yelled as the army stopped and he got to the front setting his men 100 feet ahead of the main army. William Clark came up to him and said to him “charge when ready.” Hauss nodded and waited for Clark to get out of the way for him to charge. He could see an Indian through his telescope. He saw Clark out of the way and yelled ¨charge!¨ taking out his saber and charging through the forest as the Indians tried to get out their guns. He trampled one of them and then the first shots were fired by the Iroquois army hitting the man next to him straight in the chest knocking him off his horse as his horse ran away. He continued on with the charge slashing another Indian and then another. His horse jumped over a log and an Indian fired a pistol hitting him in the leg. He slashed the Indian across the head cutting through his headdress. He charged towards the muskets as they loaded from behind a 2-foot deep trench and as they began to fire as he jumped over them with his horse and as he landed he turned his horse around and swung his sword into the Indians cutting a 20-foot hole in their front line and then a sniper perched in a tree fired his gun and the steel ball dug into Lincoln Aaron Hauss´s rib cage. He fell off his horse and a soldier rushed to his aid carrying him off the battlefield. Lincoln Aaron Hauss watched in horror as the Iroquois army pushed the army back. The snipers shredded the soldiers as they desperately checked every tree and bush for an Iroquois soldier. Explosives were detonated by the Iroquois troops being thrown or detonated at a distance by a fuse. Trees fell on top of soldiers and the cavalry unit he commanded was encircled by Iroquois. He looked away and dug his face into the grass and cried. He couldn’t look as his unit was massacred. After three more hours Marquis Lafayette ordered the retreat and Lincoln Aaron Hauss was put in a medical wagon and was sent back home to Connecticut. The battle of the two nations was over with 2,000 dead on the New England side and 200 dead on the side of the Iroquois. The battle of the Two Nations was dubbed by the Iroquois as there was no important landmark for 40 miles (Fort Clinton). Aaron Burr and Albert Gallatin called for a much larger military to crush the anti-liberty Iroquois. Thomas Jefferson responded by calling it a waste of money while the Democrats called for a larger army too. James Monroe contacted Thomas Jefferson offering him to help broker a peace agreement. Thomas Jefferson refused as he saw the land as for the people of New England instead of savages who attacked New England settlers. James Monroe pointed out that settlers rushed onto the Iroquois land without warning and killed any that resisted. With that Thomas Jefferson decided he would not run for a third term. He decided to send senator Alexander Hamilton (DR-NY) to Fort Clinton and try to broker a peace deal.

Chapter 8

On July Fourth, 1801 Virginia and New England celebrated the day they declared independence from Britain. Flags of both nations flew side by side as members of both nations crossed the Mason-Dixon line to sing songs and see family members separated by the collapse of America. James Monroe and Thomas Jefferson met in Liberty City to celebrate the event. Both of the men were there to discuss Britain and later celebrate at the governor’s mansion of Maryland. Thomas Jefferson was concerned that Britain could be funding and training the Iroquois army. James Monroe disagreed as the French revolution was causing more fires than New England so why would Britain waste time with America? Thomas Jefferson countered by saying that Britain would like nothing better to get the midwest back and hamper another power. The same way they tried to destroy the American Revolution. To Thomas Jefferson that made sense. Why would they risk losing Canada while struggling against France? Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe walked out of the ballroom of the hotel and onto the white porch.

“Twenty-five years ago we fought side by side against King George and the redcoats not to split apart and see us as scum but for us to march as brothers to form a union where everyone was represented,” Thomas Jefferson said. “We still are brothers and we may be separated by political differences and an imaginary line but rest assured we will be one again. May today be a day of celebration of the Atlanta Alliance and the unity of our nations as we fight against tyranny whether it’s the redcoats or Washington! Long live liberty, long live the Atlanta Alliance, and long live the glorious pioneers of democracy!

The crowd clapped in approval. Thomas Jefferson smiled slightly as he made the speech on the carriage ride here. This speech was recorded by an unknown reporter from the Madison Times, a pro-James Madison newspaper. The speech would be placed into the library of congress in 1936.

“Thomas Jefferson’s fourth of July speech inspired me through some of my darkest times. When I thought my friends would be killed by the McCarthyites and fascists. But like this country, the speech gave me the hope I needed to keep fighting against tyranny. Furthermore like Thomas Jefferson, this speech is what it means to be an Englander! It means to look past our political beliefs and see each other as brothers and sisters! To fight for liberty and democracy! So I say to you my fellow brothers and sisters fight for each other and fight for God’s gift of democracy!”

- President Floyd B. Olson giving a speech to commemorate the 4th of July speech on Liberty Frontier Radio circa 1936

Thomas Jefferson left Liberty city on July 6th and in Albany New York Aaron Burr and Albert Gallatin met in a hotel room of the Clinton hotel.

“So Albert when should we reveal the party to the public?”
“Aaron I was thinking a month before the midterms.”
“Why not earlier? I mean it could give us leverage.”
“That’s a great point, Aaron, start to convince the people of the way of conservatism!”
“Yessir let’s repay the French back by destroying Britain once and for all.”
“Yea, now that gives me an idea for the slogan…” Albert Gallatin pondered for a moment taking a sip of water. “Democracy for all! How about that Aaron?”
“Democracy for all of God's children?”
“I like it!”
“I say we reveal the party on August 1st.”
“Why that day specifically Aaron?”
“No reason.”
“Well, I agree with that date.”
“Good”

Aaron Burr left the hotel and returned to his mansion. He now had several dozen small churches across New York now on his side. This would give the Gentlemen Party as Albert calls it a steady stream of propaganda. Also, it would give them a quote-unquote Righteous cause. I have no clue who will be elevated to lead the church nor do I care as long as the pieces of my plan fall into place. Because once you have a steady stream of supporters who believe what you’re doing is for faux freedom you can take anything over. Aaron Burr smiled as August 1st drew closer and Jefferson slowly became less popular due to the American-Indian war it looked like his plan could go ahead.

July 10th, 1801 Fort Clinton.
William Clark ran back into the fort keeping his head down as Iroquois snipers fired from the trees. Cannons pounded the Iroquois position as they attempted to set up their own artillery. William Clark passed several rooms and took a left where Marquis Lafayette was commanding sergeant, Howie, he thought his name was? It didn’t matter at this moment as long as he could effectively kill Iroquois. “Where in the name of God did they get artillery?” Clark shouted out to the room to no one in particular. The men in the room turned to see him with black powder on his face as he had been yelling at the artillery to reload faster.
“You think we have any clue where the reds got them? If you have any ideas we would love to know Clark. So how’s the battle going?” Lafayette asked him.
“Very well sir compared to our last one but we should have destroyed them by now if they didn’t have muskets and snipers and artillery.”
“Well, these reds are a heck of a lot smarter than we thou-BANG” a cannonball smashed into Fort Clinton’s south wall.
“I swear Britain has something to do with thi-”
“General Clark what are you on I demand to know!”
“How else do you explain they got those guns?”
“From raids most likely or trading back in the Revolution and we are not I repeat not discuss this right now as a battle’s going on you got that General Clark!”
“Yes, sir!”
“You are dismissed and please kill those invading reds!”
“Yes, sir!” General Clark ran back to the artillery line where he got a good view of the battle. Dozens of craters were created from the cannonballs as dead bodies laid near them mainly Indians. The battle was turning in favor of New England as the Iroquois retreated 500 feet into the forest. As they retreated the artillery adjusted and decimated the Iroquois troops. The commander of the Iroquois troops Chief Red Eagle ordered a retreat from the battlefield as New England with the Iroquois trying to set up again were getting the cavalry ready. William Clark got the news 30 minutes later that the Iroquois were retreating. He ordered the men to rest as in two days they would hunt down the Iroquois army and conquer the midwest once and for all! On July 12th the New England Army engaged with the Iroquois Army 17 miles west of Fort Clinton when a couple of scouts were ambushed by a sniper. The sniper who was going to the bathroom around 60 feet away heard one of the scouts snap a branch which caused him to spot them and open fire. He managed to kill the captain in charge captain Oliver Edith with the first shot shooting him in the head killing him instantly.the other five scouts tried to find the sniper and after 2 more were killed and attempted to retreat. One Chris Layfield was shot in the back piercing his lungs causing him to die from lack of air. The final one to die was Oswald Cody who was shot in the spine causing him to trip over a log and down a hill. The wound quickly became infected and he died after three days. The only one to survive was Tom Percy who ran back to the main army and informed William Clark who ordered 19 scouting parties of 10 to find the Iroquois Army. in total 10 men of the scouting parties died and 23 were injured and they found the Iroquois Army 2 miles south of the New England Army camp. The army attacked the camp who had around 45 minutes to prepare which was enough time for the Iroquois to somewhat prepare getting their snipers in place and setting up some artillery pieces. The battle was a bloodbath as cavalry charged into the front lines artillery rained down on them and as they retreated snipers picked over a dozen off. It seemed as if they never missed it! The New England snipers were, however, ready paying attention to where the gunshots came from allowing them to pinpoint the snipers of the Iroquois Army taking out five and pushing out nine of them out of their positions. The infantry of the New England Army moved in taking cover behind trees as the Iroquois Army opened fire as men fell from their gunshot wounds and others managed to dodge them. When the New England Army got into a range of the Iroquois Army they opened fire with all that they had. Muskets blared and bayonets pierced flesh as men died left and right. Blood spewed onto the forest floor as birds and any animal within a 500-foot radius as screams of agony increased until their eventual climax 7 hours into the battle and died down. After 9 hours both armies retreated as the horrific death toll was revealed to General Clark. 8,000 deaths for the Iroquois and 10,000 deaths for the New England Army. When the news got back to Thomas Jefferson he offered a cease-fire to the Iroquois army. The Iroquois Army agreed as after a visit from the British representative for the Iroquois Alliance pressured Red Eagle to sign it and negotiate or there would be no more aid.

Chapter 9: A New Party! Jefferson's nightmare

We are standing against tyranny fellow men. We will fight tyranny abroad with our glorious military against the brits and against the Iroquois. This government is standing in the way of the liberation of Europe and America! From the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Baltic seas people are suffering in borderline slavery and this government has refused to overthrow the slaveholders in Europe. Both parties are corrupt and refuse to help our fellow brothers the Gentlemen party will, however. So, men, I call on you to vote for the party of morals! The party of freedom! And the party of the Gentlemens!

• Aaron Burr’s speech announcing the Gentlemen Party

The Gentlemen Party is the party of morality and godmen! Make no mistake we are trying to fulfill the teachings of Jesus Christ himself! We believe every man and woman should be free, free to own property without attacks from the godless, free to make their own living, free from the tyranny of Britain and the monarchy! This party will serve common people and spread freedom. The Democrats and Republicans are no different as they claim to fight for freedom yet they don’t fight for it! Death to tyranny long lives democracy!

• Albert Gallatin speech at the announcement of the Gentlemen Party

Thomas Jefferson was visibly disappointed. He had disliked Burr before but now he hated him. That was one of the things Alexander Hamilton and the other Democrats agreed on. However, he was starting to defend Burr as he saw him more and more as an ally. Now he was nothing more than a traitor and it looked like the Republicans would lose the senate.

Alexander Hamilton got the news that there was a new party in town. “The Gentlemen Party” yea because that isn’t an oxymoron, “gentlemen” and Aaron Burr” are like war and peace polar opposites. I may disagree with Jefferson but I would never backstab him. How low do you have to be to start your own party? Heck, I doubt he even believes the crap he says.
