The History of the Revolution against England and the founding of the American Republic
by the hand of Elias Jethro Wallace, a Virginia planter and statesman
In the year of 1772, I was called to go to the Frist Continintal Congress in the fair city of Philidelphia. I was a member of the Assembly in Virgina and a well knowne planter. I resided near the towne of Petersburgh upon the Appomattox with my new wife and a young son of three years. Still I went for it was my duty to my fellow Countrymen (Virginians). So upon the long journe I went. All goodly men of reason from all of the 13 colonies were in the city when I arrived. I put up in a cheap and lousey inn neary the city's hall where the meeting was to be.
Upon the 26 of December we met at noon, feeling we disscuss our fated course as a people. Our Thomas Jeferson wrote a declaration to put before the King. We assented to it. I knew now there could be now turning back. We had pled to defend not just our selves but a new country with Jeferson's eloquent words and the might of our arms!
Now having a nation called for finances, an army of some sort, and most of all a government. We set about this last thing first as should be done. We made a congress to govern the various states of our union and selected a man from each to represent his people and elected a president to rule over the council. That man was to be Arthur Norfolk of Delaware. He was an able man but was elected mostly so that the men of the various states would not become partian and sectional in the new Congress. I was made treasurer of the nation and quartermaster of the army. For the army we choose our George Washington who had serve well in the French and Indian Wars. He was given the newly fromed Congresional Army while Haratio Gates, man of good character I suspose, got command of the Continital Army. As to monies, we began with only with $50,000(500d in game terms). I thought to myself whatever shall we do, may Providence preserve was from evil and mighty King George. Thus did we enter the year 1773.
