"A little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical." - Thomas Jefferson, 1787

The unrests in the british colonies in North America turns into an open revolution. More and more colonists joining the Continental Army, strong in their will to fight for freedom. Quickened by the events at Boston the year before, the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia adopts the Declaration of Independence. From now on, the American colonies are severing their political connections to Great Britain and calling themselve the 13 United States of America.

Meanwhile a massive british war fleet arrived on Long Island under command of William Howe and seized New York City, ready to crush American forces.

The Continental Army learns their first major defeat on Manhattan Island. Withdrawn from New York City, the Commander-in-Chief George Washington tries to reorganize his army, making them ready for a counter attack.

The War of Independence has begun...
