Call of Freedom: Book 2- Compromises and Passions. Chapter one- The War Hawks


DISCLAIMER: This is a fictitious story, we are not actually mad at England or anything.


President Warren shook his head, after two hard reelection campaigns and negotiating with pirates in Africa he was exhausted! Warren grabbed his cane and limped towards the door, he couldn't stop coughing. The news was grim, he contracted tuberculosis. Tears flooded his grey eyes, not for himself but for those young congresspeople who faced a hard task of keeping the union together. Warren left the office and retired, President Glenn Bertsch took his place.  Emily Hausheer, a young 25 year old congresswoman from South Carolina won election to Congress in a landslide.   Rep. Danielle Jack of Kentucky was Speaker of the House. During this time, England and France were fighting.  A joint congressional committee discovered that England was kidnapping our troops and making them fight against France. Congress sent a petition asking them to stop, but England didn't stop. Enraged Danielle took the floor; "Congressmen! now is the time to fight!"  Emily seconded, and was made "Minority Leader".  These Congressional Leaders decided war must be declared against England.  The war was mostly fought on the sea, until England invaded.   The moon was shinning bright that night, as a group one million strong of English approached our shores. They landed in New York City, and torched it to the ground. Flames raged against skyscrapers, people evacuated by the thousands. The British went to the firehouses and slashed the hoses so it would be impossible to put the fires out. The British marched to New Jersey and progressed to the small villages and farms. The congressional foreign relations committee consisting of Ryan McDonald, Emily Hausheer and Danielle Jack was to investigate the damage; They took shelter in an abandoned building. Against the black smoke stood a promising site... our flag! The committee then discovered the president's young daughter, Grace had stowed away with them. "Our flag!" she exclaimed, Senator McDonald put her on his shoulders. "Yes, its still there!" he said with pride. Peace was eventually settled, but the news didn’t reach one general on time…. Andrew Dickinson. Andrew Dickinson was a lanky young man, bright red hair, piercing blue eyes, a fiery temper, as well as a scar on his face from being one of those Kentucky Patriots standing against “The King.” He was not to be messed with. Andrew was keeping the British off the coast of Alabama, and eventually made them retreat all the way back down the Mississippi River. When the public heard of this post-war victory,  they immediately feel in love with Andrew. Andrew was the new heartthrob, but Emily knew something was wrong. Andrew ran for President against Quincy Warren, son of the famous Thomas Warren.  The election was so tight it was thrown into the House of Representatives to decide, Speaker Danielle Jack saw that Andrew had more votes, but she knew Andrew would abuse the power. Events here get fuzzy, as somehow somebody actually switched the votes around and Quincy won during a recount. Danielle then counted the votes for Vice President, Emily Hausheer won in a landslide.
