This is what I hope will be the beginnings of a dark brutal story about an Imperial America that marches on the road to conquest starting in the year 1914. Please feel free to comment and place maps. Enjoy my friends
Septemeber 11, 1776
Continental Congress Philadelphia, PA
General Benedict Arnold rode his black war horse right into the middle of the debate. Hundreds of his troops followed after him. The members of Congress looked on in disbelief as the soliders leveled there muskets at them. Arnold swung down from his horse, drew his sword and stabbed John Adams in the chest. Adams collapsed to his knees, blood leaking from his mouth. " You traitor", Adams hissed. Arnold stabbed Adams again, and turned turned towards the Congressmen. "I'm not a traitor, what I do is for the good of this revolution. You men are the ones who are traitors!", he roared. Ben Franklin and others rushed to the side of the dying Adams. Franklin held Adam's head in his lap and started to weep tears. Arnold glared at him," To think that you all would sale the army out...", he was cut off by Franklin "Army? What Army?!", he screamed "the army was destroyed and capture with Washington at Long Island! We were only trying to save our nation. General Howe is willing to offer...." One of Arnold's troops backed handed the old man in the mouth knocking some teeth out. "I will have you know that this army and this revolution will endure!" His statement was greeted with howls of approval by his men. "Arrest them all, NOW!" The men of the Continental Army procceded to drag the kicking and screaming Congressmen out of the room. Ben Franklin painfully spoke to Arnold "You have condemmed this nation to ruin and blood Arnold." General Arnold shook his head, "No Franklin I have set this nation down the path of strength. WE SHALL ENDURE LIKE ROME!" So began the reign of the First Proconsul of the United Empire of America.
So to explain, Washington and his army is capture after the Battle of Long Island by General Howe. The Continental Congress is debating sending peace feelers to the British, but Arnold and his army catch wind of this and procced to stage a coup, thus setting the stage for a Imperialist America that not only brutally wins the Revolution but brutally conquers all of North America and is poised to wage war against the world in 1914. I plan on this timeline to cover from 1914 to 2012. Any comments?
