Preamble

If you fought in the Revolutionary War, the reason you’d most likely die wouldn’t be from musket, cannon, or Apaches; It’d be from smallpox. And besides spreading all over the place (in 8 years, from Boston to Georgia to Mexico to Canada), smallpox was also extremely nasty. The virus toppled the American troops, due largely to the awful ways of British General Howe, who deployed a group of men he knew to already be infected. Defense came only after Washington realized what Howe had done, and raced the clock to send word of the plot back to Congress. George Washington had thus become our first Jack Bauer.

"The following events take place between 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM on the 4th of December, 1775. Events occur in real time."
