You flee as fast as you can, your heart racing as your feet pound on the cobblestones. You arrive home, alive and tierd, with rebellion still in your heart.\n\nYour father, who is a minuteman for Washington's army, confronts you with a difficult choice. Should you [[join washington's army]] or [[wait out the years in shame]]?
Backtrack
Your father was ashamed of you when you did not join the army. As the years went by, your rebellion slowly died away. \n\nHowever, your country, America, kept the fight up until 1783 when they declared independence from the British.
You decide to stay and fight this out. For about 5 minutes you yelled and shouted until CRACK! a bullet shot out of one of the British muskets. The next thing you know, you're on the ground moaning. Two men drag you home where your mama takes care of you until you die on the 23rd of March. \n\nHowever, the rebellion hasn't ended. America keeps up the fight until 1783, when they finally declare independence.
A journey through history from a 16 year old's perspective
It is 1770, and you are a 16-year-old boy with a desperate want for independence from Britain.\n\nOne day, you meet your old friend Toby by the pier. He has news of a mass of people going to stand up against a troop the next day. This is a tough decision. Should you [[go]] or [[not go]]?
Because of your inactivity in the revolution, your want for freedom wavers, and America finally declares independence in 1783 after many years of hard fighting.
You have enlisted in Washington's army for 6 months. During this time, you will be expected to fight when called upon, and do work inside the camp. After several re-enlistings, you die of smallpox during a cold winter at Valley Forge.
The angry men are pushing in, waving clubs and yelling. You, too, are yelling when you hear the first gunshot ring out. One man falls dead on the cobblestones and another is hurt. Do you [[run]] or [[not run]]?
