Inspired by the fact the books say the Greek and Roman demigods were involved in every major clash is Western history, and that George Washington was a son of Athena. And basically the idea of democracy vs. an empire. Hmm…

Introduction

Britain had become a powerful empire, slowly accumulating colonies and wealth until it had reached the peak of its power. Needless to say the heart of Western civilization had moved to Great Britain. It had seemed like the country was unstoppable, but of course the gods knew better. They had seen to many powers be crumbled to the ground. Nothing really lasted forever. Leave it to the immortals to figure that one out.

Already now the thirteen colonies in the new world had captured the gods' attention. There was a sense of adventure and a pride in the land. Opportunity was abundant. Already several demigods had been born to colonists. Indeed the colonies were part of Britain, and in many were anchored to their mother country. But that bond was about to be strained to the breaking point.

The French and Indian war fought on colonial soil where many men from the colonies fought and died. It was the colonial version of the Seven Years War, which the British were fighting in Europe. And these wars would put England into debt. Where does a mother country get her money? The colonies. Taxation.

That didn't sit well with colonists, who demanded representation in government. They said it was unfair to be taxed without being given a voice. Things would take a turn for the worse and eventually a war would break out, the clash of British Empire against the American Colonies. At first the colonies wanted a say in government, but then they would discover a greater ambition. Democracy. It was untried since ancient Greek times and proposed by Greek demigods. The war would become Roman demigods against Greek demigods, a common feud. Some of the most famous people in history and some of the most memorable events of the war were shaped by "mythology."

Can the Romans in England, with their professional army and proud history, defend their ideals of discipline and nobility? Or will the Greeks in the colonies, with their ingenuity and stubbornness, be able to revive the principle of democracy and prove that it can be successful? All that is certain is that this is going to be one heck of a war. And who knows? Maybe it will end in an eventual compromise with a democratic republic?

The chapters will be told from the POV of a historical figure from the Revolutionary age about a specific event in history. The narrator and event will be clearly labeled at the top of the chapter.
