In 1781, George Washington's attempt to trap the British under Cornwallis atYorktown ends catastrophically when the French fleet is destroyed in the Battleof the Capes. The revolution collapses, and the British begin a bloody reign ofterror. A group of rebels flees westward and sets up a colony near what is nowChicago. They call it Liberty. The British, looking to finish what they started,send a very large force under Burgoyne to destroy them. Burgoyne is desperatefor redemption and the Americans are equally desperate to survive.
Had the Battle of the Capes gone differently, a changed, darker, New Worldwould have been forced into existence. But even under those dire circumstances,Liberty may still find a way!
