The British win the American Revolutionary War, and a desperate Washington and the American founders must make a last stand in an enclave called Liberty.

The revolution collapses, and the British begin a bloody reign of terror. A group of rebels flees westward and sets up a colony near what is now Chicago. They call it Liberty.
