Call of Freedom: Book 1- United Chapter One, Winds of Tension

Overview: This part of my story is based as you may see off of the American Revolution. DISCLAIMER: This is not in anyway reflective of the current political environment. The only person President Arnold is based off of is King George the third and nobody else. No time in US History have we ever had a president like him, and I don't think we ever will. Sorry, I had to make that clear because I didn't want people taking my symbolism out of context.  
Please if you are reading this, do not think i'm referring to living famous people these characters are based on historical personalities, and the heroes (some of them) are based on friends of mine.

This chapter revolves around the citizen's perspective, although not based in Boston, it is instead based in Small town, USA.  It shows the perspective of children's reactions to "King George's" orders.

Later some of these children will become important, but for the most part the story will focus on the Continental Congress.


Enjoy!

<<< Charity Klicka

< Brit Babar, 

The sun shone bright that January day;  It was passed, the Stamp Act.  Every object with a stamp on it will be taxed. Young Charity Klicka set aside her newspaper “has it come to this?”  She listened quietly as the adults of the small cross-roads town argued bitterly; “This is the last straw!” a man said  “Haven’t we been taxed enough?” a older man strongly stated.  A cold shiver went up Charity’s spine I don’t like this talk She thought.   President Charles Arnold ignored the people’s cries, he raised taxes, expanded government, sued states, taxed tea and other beverages, taxed just about anything he could think of. The people petitioned him to stop, but George didn’t listen, it was either his way, or his way.  Charity Klicka looked ready to march to “King George’s” palace and defeat them herself.

A young man by the name of Brit Baber ran over to the girls “Guess what? “ “what?” they replied. “Tonight, at different harbors throughout the country, men are going to be dumping all the goods that President Arnold taxed into the ocean.”

As night came, the moment arrived; Charity walked down to the dock. The docks were quiet huddled in the dark were a group of men, patriots no less; rebellious patriots, they were angry. Charity stopped her friend Ryan McDonald, he had some sort of dirt rubbed against his face, as well as feathers on his head; so did the other men. The men boarded the ship, the battle cry of “No taxation without representation!” was sounded, goods… billions of dollars worth of goods were dumped into the ocean. These men made it clear, that they didn’t like “King George’s” taxes.
