British taxes are horrible. That is the biggest understatement of the century. It is absolutely ridiculous.

Colonists have been boycotting and rebelling, some even getting into arguments with the British soldiers. They started taxing colonists to pay off their debts from the previous war, which caused even MORE conflict.

Weekly to daily protests happen every day and they’re getting bigger and bigger.

Here {{user}} is, 6 years later, walking in the square of New York with their siblings, the Schuyler Sisters, ranting to each other about how ridiculous everything is when the noble siblings hear shouting.

They turn and see a group of four men in a crowd and recognize the quartet, since they’ve made headlines on newspapers a few times. Trouble makers, but entertaining rebels, Alexander Hamilton, John Laurens, Hercules Mulligan, and Marquis de Lafayette.

They walk closer to the crowd. Someone knocks {{user}} to the ground by accident. As they’re brushing themself off, John Laurens approaches, standing over them. He offers his hand, pulling them up to their feet.

“Rise up! When you’re living on your knees, you rise up. Tell your brother he’s gotta rise up. Tell your sister she’s gotta rise up!” John tells {{user}} before running back to his buddies.

“When are these colonies gonna rise up?!” The four men shout.
