|-|Allies=
While sympathetic to the patriot cause, his belief in the rule of law led him to successfully defend British soldiers involved in the 1770 Boston Massacre. In Congress, he was instrumental in persuading delegates to declare independence, nominating George Washington as commander of the Continental Army, and playing a key role in drafting the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Later, he was central in negotiating the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. Adams later authored the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution, influencing the future U.S. Constitution. He served as the first vice president under Washington and as the second president of the United States.

Crispus Attucks was one of the first casualties of the American Revolution. As an escaped slave working as a sailor and dock worker in Boston, he became a protest leader and the first victim of the Boston Massacre. During the confrontation with British soldiers on King Street, Attucks stood at the forefront of a crowd, demanding that the soldiers leave. When the soldiers opened fire, Attucks was shot twice in the chest, dying instantly.<br><br>Although his death was used as political propaganda to fuel anti-British sentiment during the period, his status as a martyr was cemented by 19th-century abolitionists who highlighted his sacrifice as a testament to Black patriotism.

Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, acting as a vital link between the American colonies and France. Inspired by the American cause of liberty, the 19-year-old defied King Louis XVI and traveled to America in 1777, volunteering to serve without pay.<br><br>He quickly formed a close bond with George Washington and was commissioned as a major general in the Continental Army. Lafayette proved his bravery and skill in battle and was wounded in action. This led him to return to France and lobby for increased military aid, successfully securing French troops and supplies for the colonies. Returning to America in 1781, he led American forces against Lord Cornwallis in Virginia, setting the stage for the decisive American-French victory at the Siege of Yorktown.<br><br>After returning to France after the war, Lafayette remained a lifelong friend of the United States and was granted honorary U.S. citizenship in 2002.

Paul Revere was a prominent Boston silversmith, industrialist, and dedicated Patriot. A leading member of the Sons of Liberty, Revere organized intelligence networks to monitor British troops and co-originated anti-British agitation, including taking part in the 1773 Boston Tea Party. During the war, Revere served in the Massachusetts Militia and manufactured gunpowder for the Continental Army.<br><br>He is most well known for his dramatic midnight ride on April 18, 1775, to warn colonists of advancing British forces. Following instructions, a ''"one if by land, two if by sea"'' signal was placed in the Old North Church, alerting Revere to the British route across the Charles River. Along with William Dawes and others, Revere spread the alarm from Boston to Lexington, enabling leaders John Hancock and Samuel Adams to escape and allowing militiamen to prepare for the crucial battles of Lexington and Concord. Though captured by a British patrol shortly after his ride, his mission was successful. This was later immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1861 poem, ''"Paul Revere's Ride"'' transforming him into a lasting symbol of American independence and civic bravery.

First as [[Blending|blend groups]] that allow [[Edward Kenway|Edward]] to hide in plain sight, and secondly as allies in the event of a scuffle. But remember to bring a bit of coin if you want them to fight alongside you, as these [[Piracy|pirates]] won't risk their lives for free.
 
|-|Spanish Empire=
Already a global power, the Spanish defeated powerful adversaries such as the Aztecs and Incas in the Americas by exploiting existing conflicts and rivalries between tribes and nations between the 15th and 18th centuries.
 
Acquisitive and protective of the supply of precious metals its new colonies afforded it, the Spanish Empire enthusiastically participated in the Atlantic slave trade and defended its trade routes aggressively.
 
Even after its defeat in the War of the Spanish Succession, the 18th century was nevertheless one of prosperity for the Spanish Empire, as their trade reputation grew steadily under Bourbon oversight, and continued to grow at an extraordinary rate until the 1780s.
 
|-|Swashbucklers=
Often used interchangeably, there are a number of important distinctions to make between these different kinds of swashbucklers...
 
[[Piracy|Pirates]]: Criminals on the open sea who use coercion, intimidation and violence to rob innocent people of their cargo and transport. The term pirate is a catch-all and may be used generally to refer to all who perform acts of larceny on the open ocean. Pirates have been a problem since the advent of long-distance ocean travel; every age has seen its share of pirates, and every age has cursed their name and romanticized their cause. During the so-called "[[Golden Age of Piracy]]" (roughly 1650 to 1725), the majority of pirates were from the [[United Kingdom|British Isles]]. Most were young men in their 20s and almost all had already gained some experience as sailors prior to falling into piracy.
 
Buccaneers: Though often used as a synonym for Pirates now, the term Buccaneer refers more specifically to a group of pirates who lived and operated in the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] in the middle of the 17th century. Best known for attacking settlements and fortifications on land in large groups, the Buccaneers derived their name from the [[France|French]] Boucanier -- an instrument used for smoking strips of meat over an open fire, a favorite sort of sustenance for these terrestrial pirates.
 
Privateers: Non-commissioned sailors who attack and rob, having been given a Letter of Marque by their King or a royal official such as a Governor. Thus the distance between a Pirate and a Privateer is but a hair's breath of difference -- Pirates simply sail for one [[Monarchy|monarch]] fewer.
 
|-|Taíno=
Taíno refers to a group of related languages and cultures widespread across the Caribbean at the time of European arrival. Broadly speaking, they consisted of the Ciboney or Western Taíno of Cuba, Jamaica and the Bahamas; the Classic Taíno of Hispaniola and Borikén (the indigenous name of Puerto Rico); and the Eastern Taíno of the Antilles.


A Taíno cacique or chief demonstrated rank by carrying an object forged from guanín, a unique indigenous alloy made out of copper, silver, and gold, noted for its lustrous shine. The term "tabaco" from which we also derive from a Taíno word, as tobacco was cultivated on the islands and its usage noted by Spanish explorers. Other English words with a Taíno origin include barbecue, canoe, hurricane, iguana, and potato.
|-|George Washington=
George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Tasked with fighting a superior British force, Washington formed the colonial militias into a disciplined fighting force. Despite losing more battles than he won, his resilience, strategic retreats, and crucial victories, such as the final victory at Yorktown, secured American independence.<br><br>Unanimously elected, Washington served as president from 1789 to 1797, where he implemented a strong, well-financed national government, including the creation of a national bank. His dedication to civilian control of the military, together with his voluntary retirement after two terms, helped secure the stability of American democracy.


Other, non-Taíno indigenous groups of the island include the Ciguaya, Macorix, and Kalinago or Caribs, for whom the Caribbean Sea is named.

|-|Havana=
|-|Banner=
There were several attempts to found a town near the [[Havana]] Bay in the early 1500s. A settlement was established by the [[Spanish Empire|Spanish]] {{Wiki|Conquistador}} [[Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar]] around 1514. The city sits on a bay that opens to the {{Wiki|Gulf Stream}} and thus became a natural stopping point between [[Europe]] and the [[Americas]].
;The Flag
You are outside Faneuil Hall. In 1776, while the Revolution was in full swing, this area was a hotbed of Patriotic sentiment. Talks were delivered here and revolutionary banners displayed openly despite the British occupation. Alongside Samuel Adams, create a banner and unfurl it on the front of the building in defiance at British rule.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era Boston and head to Faneuil Hall.


In the earliest stages of the [[Golden Age of Piracy|golden age of piracy]] Havana was burnt to the ground by [[France|French]] {{Wiki|French corsairs|corsair}}, [[Jacques de Sores]]. By the 1700s, Havana had become a large, heavily fortified port city where [[Spanish Treasure Fleet|Spanish treasure ships]] would dock on their way to Europe. [[Piracy|Pirates]] lurked on the approaches to the city, hoping to capture these same [[ship]]s.
;Historical details
When the Thirteen Colonies of America were seceding from the British at the start of the revolution, it became necessary for a flag to be created to symbolize the patriot cause and rally individuals for the Revolution!<br><br>These flags were often created by local artists and revolutionary groups to reflect the locations or the key messages that they stood for. One famous example is The Moultrie Flag. Commissioned by Colonel William Moultrie in 1775 to prepare for war with Britain, it depicts a white crescent moon with the word “LIBERTY” inscribed within it on a field of navy blue.


|-|Nassau=
;Instructions
Originally founded as another [[Charleston|Charles-Towne]], the city was renamed [[Nassau]] in honor of [[William III of England|King William III]] of the {{Wiki|house of Orange-Nassau}}. This city has a particularly colorful past: In 1706 the city's officially appointed Governor skipped town, thus severing the [[British Empire|Crown]]'s direct control over [[the Bahamas]].
Objective
Alongside Sons of Liberty member Samuel Adams, and the proud revolutionaries in Boston, design a banner to show your defiance of British rule.


The islands languished for almost a decade in the hands of [[United Kingdom|British]] [[Civilians|citizens]] with little or no interest in Statesmanship. By 1713, the entire region had become a haven for [[Piracy|pirates]] and it was in this period that [[Benjamin Hornigold]] declared Nassau to be a pirate republic. He proclaimed himself governor and thereafter every pirate of any sense and reputation used Nassau as a base of operation, transforming this small city of barely 1000 residences into a "nest of infamous bastards", according to the Governor of Bermuda.

Flying the banner
Dating generally from the [[Maya]]n {{Wiki|Maya civilization|Classic period}} (AD 250 - 900), most Mayan ruins can be found throughout the [[Yucatán Peninsula|Yucatán peninsula]] and Central America. Mayan Temples have steep stone steps and a platform at the top for wooden crowning structures. Mayan architecture is composed with a sophisticated eye to decoration, often using wall paintings and elaborate bas-relief stone carvings. Mayan arches forego the use of a keystone, instead creating a triangle-like arch known as a corbel vault.
Once you're happy with your design, tap the highlighted ladder to unfurl your banner.


|-|North Carolina=
;What happens
Present day [[North Carolina|North]] and [[South Carolina]] were originally a single [[United Kingdom|English]] colony, {{Wiki|Province of Carolina}}. They split apart in 1729. The province's sparsely settled seacoast was often pillaged by [[Piracy|pirates]], including [[Edward Thatch|Edward "Blackbeard" Thatch]], "Calico" [[Jack Rackham]], [[Charles Vane]] and [[William Kidd]].

Outside the famous Faneuil Hall I joined Patriot Samuel Adams and constructed my own revolutionary banner. Unfurling it on the front of the building I made my opposition to British rule clear.


|-|Old Avery Tavern=

This [[Old Avery|drinking spot]], named after "The King of [[Piracy|Pirates]]" Henry Avery, was highly popular among gritty seafarers in the early 18th century. Legend had it that Avery himself once had a financial stake in several establishments throughout the [[Caribbean|West Indies]], but that appears to be nothing more than self-promotion.
;An American Navy
This area, now known as Boston Common, was public common Iand used as a training ground for Soldiers throughout the Revolution. In 1775, the British Navy controlled the Atlantic and Congress decided to create a new Continental Navy. Train alongside naval captain John Paul Jones to learn to command a ship. \n\nLook out over the docks of revolutionary era Boston and begin your naval training.


|-|Laurence Prins' Manor=
;Historical details
[[Laurens Prins]] was an incredibly successful [[Slavery|slave-trader]] who spent the better part of his 80 years transporting [[Humans|human]] cargo from the west of [[Africa]] to the [[Caribbean|West Indies]]. Near the end of his life, he lived in semi-retirement on land he purchased near [[Kingston]]. One of his most active [[Slave ships|slave ships]], the [[Whydah]], was famously captured by the [[Piracy|pirate]], [[Samuel Bellamy|Sam Bellamy]].
At the start of the American Revolution, the Royal Navy faced little opposition from the fledgling American Navy. Several colonies maintained small state navies, and in 1775 Congress authorized the creation of a Continental Navy. These forces amounted to only several dozen small vessels and a handful of frigates.\n\nOne particularly notable American naval officer of the Revolutionary War was John Paul Jones. Among several victories he was responsible for the capture of the Royal Navy frigate Serapis. He came to be regarded as the father of the American Navy due to his advocacy for and training of American Naval officers.


|-|Sugar Mill=

|-|"Der Liederliche Student" by Gerard van Honthorst=
The Green Dragon Tavern was a popular meeting place for the Sons of Liberty, a clandestine group of Revolutionaries who worked for America's independence. Their work was kept secret through a network of supporters and through a range of spy craft during the revolution, from coded lantern signals to invisible ink and complex ciphers. \n \nAmong the most notable ciphers of the era was that developed by James Lovell, though it frequently failed in practice. Lovell's hints at the keyword were often so obscure as to be useless, as this instruction to John Adams illustrates: \"You certainly can recollect the name of that family where you and I spent our last evening together... Make regular alphabets in number equal to the first sixth part of that family name.\" Adams struggled so persistently with the cipher that he once accused Benjamin Franklin of deliberately withholding information, having simply failed to decode his letter.

As war broke out between the American colonies and Great Britain, the Americans were forced to adjust and evolve their military. This was previously defined by informal militia but as events around Boston became more tense, many communities in Massachusetts began to create more elite regiments. \n\nTheir regiments trained more frequently and were expected to be ready quickly, “at a minute's warning...” They became known as “Minute Men.” These regiments were made of men from all economic and racial backgrounds and formed the backbone of the Revolutionary forces.\n

Courage my Friend. After so many long Years, we are almost there,
Equipment:
*Blanket
**Soldiers' blankets were mostly made of wool, linen, or the mixed cloth linsey-woolsey,  and came in a variety of colors and patterns. There was no official provision of blankets, and most were donated from people's own homes.
*Canteen
**A canteen - made of wood, tin, or glass - was vital for militia soldiers to carry water on the march. With a typical day's march covering 8 to 13 miles and a canteen holding just 1.4 liters, a soldier had to make that supply last the entire day unless he found a chance to refill it.
*Tricorn Hat
**Perhaps one of the most iconic and easily recognized pieces of clothing from the colonial era is the tri-corner hat, or more simply known as the tricorn. Although the style originated in Europe, it is now associated with the American Revolutionary War and the nation's fight for freedom.
*Powder Horns
**A militia soldier needed two powder horns: a large one, for the coarse powder used in the main charge in the musket, and a small one, to hold the more finely ground powder that was used in the priming pan. These were made from real horns that were often obtained from domestic cattle.
*Musket
**The most common weapon used during the American Revolution was the musket - a long smoothbore gun without grooves inside its barrel, fired from the shoulder. These weapons were slow, complicated to load and extremely inaccurate, and were normally only fired in volleys.
*Sword
**During the Revolutionary War, most infantrymen carried a hanger as a secondary weapon, a type of short sword with a blade about twenty-five inches long, designed to supplement their musket in close combat. This sword is based on the one carried by Massachusetts minute man James Taylor.
*Worm
**‘The Worm' was the name given to a corkscrew-shaped piece of metal which was used to extract any residual debris from the barrel of the soldier's musket when cleaning it. Every soldier had to carry one in order to keep the musket ready to use.

Paul Revere was a Revolutionary soldier and express rider who transported important documents and messages during the war. \n \nOn the night of April 18th, 1775, in response to a coded message delivered by the light of two lanterns in the tower of Old North church, he undertook a perilous ride to Lexington with the news that the British soldiers stationed in Boston were about to march.

;Historical details
Warfare during the Revolutionary war was defined by the musket. A complex weapon, it required loading by hand with powder, wadding, and ramrod - a slow process demanding extensive training to master. This training was also essential for developing the discipline and coordinated movement necessary for cohesion on the battlefield. \n\nThe musket's smooth, non-rifled barrel also made it highly inaccurate, meaning speed of fire mattered far more than precision. A well-trained British soldier could discharge four rounds a minute; most recruits, however, could manage only one or two, making rigorous training vital to the Revolutionary cause.

You are dismissed forthwith from Service, being no longer entitled to Pay or Protection from the Royal Navy.
;Historical details
The Boston Tea Party marked a critical moment in the history of the American Revolution as an act of colonial defiance against British rule.\n\nOn 16 December 1773, American colonists marched from the Old South Meeting House to Boston Harbor, where they threw 340 chests of tea owned by the British East India Company into the water, destroying them.\n \nInitially a protest against the tax on tea, levied without representation in the British Parliament, it soon came to be seen as one of the first sparks of the revolution that would engulf America.

;Liberty Tree
In 1775, tensions were mounting in the city. Fiery speeches denouncing the destruction of the Liberty Tree and the Stamp Act were given at the Old South Meeting House, where you are now. Help James Otis, famous patriot orator, guide your speeches to make the hope embodied by the idea Liberty Tree flourish in the hearts of those who are listening.\n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and look out over the Old South Meeting House.


|-|Stede Bonnet's First Letter=
;Historical details
My dear Friend, Edward.
The Liberty tree was a famous elm tree that stood near Boston Common which became a focal point in the protest against the stamp act and British rule. In 1775, as tensions grew in the city, Loyalists felled the tree to the outrage of revolutionary supporters. The Liberty Tree became an enduring symbol for the spirit of the Revolution. \n\nThe Old South Meeting House hosted some of the most important meetings of the Revolution including angry speeches on the destruction of the Liberty Tree and the pivotal debate on British taxation which led to the Boston Tea Party.


After a rather unfortunate Kerfuffle with the Governor's men, I currently enjoy the Hospitalities of a Charles-Towne Jail. It's all a bit bothersome, but I have Faith I'll be freed soon.
;Instructions
Objective
James Otis gave powerful speeches at the Old South Meeting House. He sought to make the ideas of liberty grow in the people of Boston. \n\nYou need to guide these ideas and help the vision of a Liberty Tree flourish!


Guiding the speeches

You need to guide the beam, representing his speeches, from the glowing window of the Old South Meeting House to the Liberty Tree above it using the reflective shards.


Luckly, I'd already stashed some of my Takings in the Cabin of my Ship. I've sent it ahead to Mystery Island, but the Crew can be unpredictable without a Captain. I thought you might be amenable to checking in on them.
Adjusting the shards
Tap a shard, then drag the slider to change the direction it reflects the beam.\n \nEvery shard must be connected in sequence for the idea of the Liberty Tree to flourish.


There will be Reward for the Inconvenience of course, and I'll meet you there when I manage to extricate myself. It'll be just like old Times!
Hint
If you need a hint, tap the icon to see the sequence the shards should be in.

Edward, I am to be hanged on the Morrow. I imagined facing Death like you, Swords drawn, full of Gusto. Instead, I found myself begging and weeping at the Governor's feet.
*LIBERTY TREE FLOURISHES
Your words are a rousing call for independence. The Tree of Liberty grows in Boston from the ideas shared in the Old South Meeting House, stirring the hearts of people across the city.


I fear your Advice was wasted on a Constitution like mine. Perharps I should've left off Pirating altogether, and sailed home to my Wife and Children.

But I'm not quite the same Man who left them, am I? That was the Gift you gave me, the Courage to live free. I'll muster that Courage when the Morning comes.
|-|Trial=
;Justice on Trial
You are standing near the Old State House. In 1770, the Boston Massacre resulted in the deaths of five protestors just meters from here. It was a key moment that affected the course of events. Help John Adams, Patriot leader and influential lawyer, gather evidence in order to give Captain Thomas Preston a fair trial.\n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and head to the street next to the Old State House.


The Stories I promised will have to wait, Edward. But if, on your Adventures, you should hear any Tales of my sundry Exploits and Capers... then perhaps in the End I lived as I was meant to.
;Historical details
The Boston massacre was a confrontation between a small contingent of British soldiers and a crowd of around 300 revolutionary supporters in which five protestors were killed and six were injured. The Boston government was determined to give the soldiers a fair trial so that there could be no grounds for retaliation from the British. \n\nJohn Adams, despite being a member of the Sons of Liberty and revolutionary supporter, defended the men at trial. The trial resulted in Thomas Preston, the senior British officer present, being acquitted after the jury was convinced he had not ordered his troops to fire. In the trial of his eight other soldiers involved six of them were acquitted while two, Matthew Kilroy and Hugh Montgomery, were found guilty on the offense of manslaughter and sentenced a reduced punishment of a branding of the thumb.

And in Truth, I never quite found the Constitution for it all anyway, the Dust-ups and the general Bluster.
Reviewing evidence
Tap the evidence icon to review your collected evidence.\n\nOnce you have collected all the available evidence you will be able to access the questions.


So why, then, does my Heart still long for the open Sea? There's a sense of things yet undone. The Call of the Gulls and the Promise of Adventure is still wild, still clear.

;What happens
*'''John Adams:''' ''Thank you for your help with this endeavor. Start by gathering the evidence we need.''
Evidence:
*Injured arm
**A physician stated that British Captain Preston's arm was damaged from a woodblock thrown during the riot and that, resultantly, he was unable to fire his gun.
*Carr's testimony
**One of the victims, American rioter Patrick Carr, who died later in the care of Dr. Jon Jefferies, said that he bore the soldiers no ill will and that he was satisfied that the soldier had no malice but fired to defend himself.
*Bloodied Coal
**It seems like the Revolutionary rioters were throwing more than just snowballs. This coal has blood from a soldier on it.
*Preston's coat
**There are gunshot burns on British Captain Preston's coat. He must've narrowly missed being shot by his men.
**[Adams' comment] These gunshot marks came from behind. Preston must've stood in front of his men when they fired.
*Soldier's hat
**It seems like this British soldier must have taken quite the blow to the head.
**[Adams' comment] Seems like Kilroy took a nasty blow to the head.
*[Jane] Whitehouse's testimony
**One of the eyewitnesses to the massacre stated that she saw British Captain Preston stand in front of his men.
*Mysterious man
**Jane Whitehouse, a civilian eyewitness, reported that a man who did not look like an officer came behind the soldiers and walked backward and forward, encouraging them to fire. She was positive the man was not British Captain Preston.
*Montgomery's account
**One of the British soldiers involved in the massacre stated that they were grabbed and were directly ordered to fire.
*Kilroy's account
**British soldier Kilroy stated that the soldiers only fired when the order was given.
*'''John Adams:''' ''We've collected all of the evidence. We should now assign them to the questions.''

*'''John Adams:''' [Question 1] ''What evidence proves Preston did not order his men to fire?''
[Present evidence]
*'''John Adams:''' [Answer 1] ''Based on testimony and marks on Preston's coat, it's clear he stood in front at the time. Therefore, he would not have called for them to fire unless he wanted to get shot!''

*'''John Adams:''' [Question 3] ''If not Preston, who told his men to fire?''

|-|Schooner=
|-|Caesar Glover=
The schooner was a class of ship used as a general sailing vessel by both navies and civilian operators, providing light firepower and ample speed.
Caesar was one of hundreds of sailors, White and Black, who helped the Continental Army escape from Brooklyn in 1776, enabling the rebellion to survive. Born in Africa, he was enslaved as a child and brought to North America.<br><br>Somehow, he earned his freedom, and in 1775 he joined the Revolution as part of the Marblehead regiment. This group of seamen manned the boats in the New Jersey and New York campaigns, including the famous crossing of the Delaware River. Black New Englanders like Caesar were among the Continental Army's first recruits, 150 of whom carried Washington's troops from Brooklyn Heights to Peck Slip in August 1776. The amateur military, greatly outnumbered, was badly defeated in Long Island. But they were saved by a thick fog, an early historian writing that no one in the region could remember any such weather “within the space of twenty or thirty years\". If not for the skill of mariners like Caesar, military historians agree, no more than half of the decimated rebel army would have escaped.
 
|-|Brig=
The brig was a class of ship bearing two square-rigged masts, and represented a compromise between larger, more powerful ships, and the faster, but less well-armed ones.
 
|-|Man O' War=
The man o' war was a type of large warship purpose built for warfare, boasting multiple gun decks, and crewed by heavily armed professional soldiers.


|-|El Dorado=
|-|Nathan Hale=
El Dorado was a brig that formed part of the Spanish Treasure Fleet.
Nathan Hale is one of the American Revolution's most famous spies and one of its earliest martyrs. Having volunteered to stay in New York after the Battle of Long Island in order to pass information to the Revolutionary cause, the 21-year-old Patriot was hanged by the occupying British government on September 22, 1776. This underscored the importance of effective espionage practices for the rebels. <br><br>Alongside George Washington's spy ring on Long Island, intelligence-gathering was far more commonly done by everyday unsung heroes of the cause. Knowledge is typically passed mouth to mouth, through both formal and informal communication networks. Waitresses overhearing conversation between officers in a tavern passed information on to rebel informants. Slaves moving goods from city to country reported on the British army's health. Families permitted to cross battlefield lines to visit relatives shared observations in conversation and correspondence.\n


The fleet was destroyed in a hurricane, with the El Dorado its lone surviving vessel.
|-|Alexander Hamilton=
Alexander Hamilton was one of George Washington's trusted advisers during the American Revolution and the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. Born in 1757 in the West Indies, he was orphaned at the age of 11. His cleverness showed early, and his employers pooled their money to send him to university. Hamilton moved to New York in 1773 and began attending King's College (later Columbia University). By 1774, he was writing pro-rebel articles, and by 1775 he'd joined the volunteer militia to oppose the British. \n \nIn 1776 he formed his own artillery company, becoming a captain, before being appointed as aide-de-camp to Washington in 1777. A skilled military commander, his leadership was decisive in the Battle of Yorktown. After the war Hamilton went on to become a respected statesman, representing New York and the nation in the preservation of the principles of the revolution and formation of the new government.


|-|Jackdaw=
|-|William Howe=
The Jackdaw was a brig captained by the pirate-turned-Assassin Edward Kenway, who named it after the small, swift bird of his native Wales.
William Howe was the commander in chief of the British Army in North America (1776–78). Despite several military successes, he was unable to destroy the Continental Army and stem the American Revolution.\n \nWilliam Howe had been active in North America during the French and Indian War a few years earlier, where he earned a reputation as one of the army's most brilliant young generals. He initially captured New York in 1776 when the British defeated the Americans at the Battle of Long Island and later led the campaign to capture Philadelphia. These victories were, however, not enough to defeat Washington's armies, and he resigned in 1778 to return to Britain.


The ship was known as El Dorado before Edward and his future quartermaster Adéwalé captured it from its fleet.
|-|Thomas Jefferson=
Thomas Jefferson was a pivotal figure in the American Revolution, acting as a leading intellectual, a political activist, and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the conflict, while he did not fight on the battlefield, he sought to transform the American colonies into a modern republic, advocating for the separation of church and state, the abolition of feudal inheritance laws, and widespread educational reform. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1776, the 33-year-old Virginian was tasked with drafting the document that justified the colonies' break from Great Britain, articulating the foundational American ideals of \"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness\".\n


|-|Royal Fortune=
|-|Marquis de Lafayette=
The Royal Fortune was a man o' war captained by the pirate and Sage Bartholomew Roberts, who elected to keep and renamed it after he captured it as the Nosso Senhor da Compreensão from the Portuguese Navy.
Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, acting as a vital link between the American colonies and France. Inspired by the American cause of liberty, the 19-year-old defied King Louis XVI and traveled to America in 1777, volunteering to serve without pay. \n \nHe quickly formed a close bond with George Washington and was commissioned as a major general in the Continental Army. Lafayette proved his bravery and skill in battle and was wounded in action. This led him to return to France and lobby for increased military aid, successfully securing French troops and supplies for the colonies. Returning to America in 1781, he led American forces against Lord Cornwallis in Virginia, setting the stage for the decisive American-French victory at the Siege of Yorktown.


|-|The Ranger=
|-|Francis Lewis=
The Ranger was a brig formerly owned by the pirate Benjamin Hornigold before he passed it on to his colleague, Charles Vane.
Francis Lewis was a Welsh-born merchant and patriot who signed the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. As a dedicated radical in New York, he served in the Stamp Act Congress and was a member of the Committee of Sixty and the New York Provincial Congress before joining the Continental Congress from 1775 to 1779. <br><br>During the Revolutionary War, Lewis utilized his commercial experience to help secure supplies for the Continental Army, particularly through his work on the Continental Board of Admiralty. His commitment to the patriot cause came at a high personal cost. Following the Battle of Long Island in 1776, British forces destroyed his estate in Queens and imprisoned his wife. While she was later released in a prisoner exchange, the harsh conditions of her captivity severely affected her health, leading to her death in 1779. Devastated by his wife's death, Lewis subsequently retired from politics, leaving Congress in 1779 and retiring completely by 1781.


|-|El Arca del Maestro=
|-|Hercules Mulligan=
El Arca del Maestro was a Spanish galleon used by the French Templar Julien du Casse.
Hercules Mulligan was a vital spy for the Continental Army and a dedicated patriot during the American Revolution. Raised in New York City, he was an early member of the Sons of Liberty and a close associate of Alexander Hamilton, whom he mentored and introduced to revolutionary ideals. Working as a successful tailor, Mulligan cultivated relationships with high-ranking British Officers, allowing him to gather crucial intelligence directly from the enemy. Despite the dangers of operating within British-occupied New York, he operated as a confidential correspondent for George Washington, supplying information that helped shape the war's outcome. <br><br>Mulligan is credited with saving Washington's life on two occasions by revealing plots to capture him. Even after being suspected of spying and briefly arrested, he continued his intelligence work with the help of his enslaved assistant, Cato. Following the war, Washington solidified Mulligan's reputation as a patriot by having breakfast with him shortly after the British evacuation of New York.


It was gifted to him by Templar Grand Master Laureano de Torres y Ayala to help further the Order's goals in the West Indies.
|-|Isaac Sears=
Isaac Sears was the public face of the Sons of Liberty in New York City, the second and perhaps most active chapter in the colonies. He was a prosperous merchant, like so many leaders of the underground rebel group. During the mid-1700s, he made fine income as a privateer, hunting the ships of imperial rivals for the British. Only when the Sugar Act brought an end to his trade in the West Indies did the sea captain turn against Britain. During the revolution he was a member of the Committee of Sixty and was involved in raids on British troops and in the destruction of Loyalist property throughout New York City.


|-|Queen Anne's Revenge=
|-|Anna Strong=
Queen Anne's Revenge was a British frigate that was originally a slave ship named La Concorde.
Anna Smith Strong was the only recorded female member of the Culper Spy Ring, a secret network established to gather intelligence for General George Washington in British-occupied New York. Living in Setauket, Long Island, she utilized her position to pass messages while avoiding suspicion, partly because her relatives were Loyalists. <br><br>Strong's fame stems from the ingenious clothesline code which she used to signal Caleb Brewster, a courier who transported intelligence across the Long Island Sound. When a message was ready to be picked up, she would hang a black petticoat on her clothesline, clearly visible from across the bay. She would add a specific number of white handkerchiefs to indicate which of the six designated coves Brewster should use to meet his contact.


It was later captured and renamed by Edward Thatch, who captained as the flagship of a small fleet.
|-|George Washington=
George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Tasked with fighting a superior British force, Washington formed the colonial militias into a disciplined fighting force. Despite losing more battles than he won, his resilience, strategic retreats, and crucial victories, such as the final victory at Yorktown, secured American independence. \n \nUnanimously elected, Washington served as president from 1789 to 1797, where he implemented a strong, well-financed national government, including the creation of a national bank. His dedication to civilian control of the military, together with his voluntary retirement after two terms, helped secure the stability of American democracy.

You are at Fraunces Tavern. In 1783, as the war came to an end, a joint British and American commission overseen by Brigadier General Birch convened here to review the claims of Black Loyalist ex-slaves seeking freedom and evacuation with the British Army.

;Historical details
A miniature ship model of a Spanish Cutter.
In 1783, as the British prepared to evacuate New York at the end of the Revolutionary War, the city became the site of a tense and historic reckoning. During the conflict, British commanders had promised freedom to enslaved people who escaped Patriot owners and joined their lines, and thousands sought refuge in British occupied New York. <br><br>When peace was declared, American officials demanded the return of formerly enslaved people under the terms of the Treaty of Paris. To address the crisis, British authorities convened hearings at Fraunces Tavern, overseen by Brigadier General Samuel Birch. There, formerly enslaved Black Loyalists petitioned to prove they had served the British cause and were entitled to evacuation. These proceedings, later called the Birch trials, required testimony about military service and escape. Those who qualified had their names entered into what became known as the Book of Negroes and were granted passage to Nova Scotia and other parts of the British Empire. <br><br>More than 3,000 ultimately departed New York under British protection. For many, the evacuation marked the beginning of a new and uncertain chapter, but it also represented one of the earliest large scale emancipations in American history, unfolding in the final days of British rule in the city.

|-|English Cutter=
Evidence:
A miniature ship model of an English Cutter.
*Pay Records
**[Details] I managed to keep hold of my pay records despite the chaos of the war. Hopefully this will help.\n-\nCharles Town, the 1st Day of August, 1782 Received of the Paymaster of His Majesty's Forces, the sum of Eight Shillings, being one week's pay for Boston King, a Negro man employed with the troops in military duty and camp service. \nThe said Boston King having come within the British Lines and since served with the Army, is to receive the above allowance, or the equivalent in provisions, clothing, or other necessaries, as available. \nSigned, Deputy Paymaster\n
**[Boston King comment] These are my pay records from the army.
*Letter from Captain Grey
**[Details] I was given this letter from Captain Grey who I served under in the New York Volunteers.\n-\nI do hereby certify that Boston King, a Negro man, having formerly come within the British Lines in South Carolina, hath for some time served with me in the New York Volunteers, and hath conducted himself with fidelity and good behavior. \nGiven under my hand this fifteenth day of October, 1783. \nCaptain Grey, New York Volunteers\n
**[Boston King comment] I was given this letter from Captain Grey.
*A Herbal Remedy
**[Details] Using powdered yarrow root to help cuts and wounds heal was something that my mother taught me. She was so knowledgeable about herbal remedies having learned from the Native Americans in South Carolina. <br><br>Her literacy and love of learning have been a constant inspiration and I hope one day to be able to write an account of my life.
**[Boston King comment] I carried herbal remedies like this throughout the war.
*My British Uniform
**[Details] Though I started out as a servant to the British officers it wasn't long before I found myself in the uniform of the brave New York Volunteers. <br><br>As a former slave, I was often assigned the most dangerous missions. It was in 1781 when I was sent alone to gather reinforcements when my battalion was under siege at Nelson's Ferry. I narrowly avoided capture and returned to a hero's welcome.
**[Boston King comment] This is my uniform from the New York Volunteer British regiment.
*Dunmore's Proclamation
**[Details] Dunmore's Proclamation promises me freedom in exchange for the service that I have given as a Loyalist.<br><br>I was a young man when Loyalist forces seized Charlestown in May 1780 and I determined to throw myself into the hands of the English. They received me readily, and I began to feel the happiness of liberty. The impact of the Proclamation has been huge, 500 slaves left the day it was made and over 5,000 have since done so.
**[Boston King comment] Dunmore's Proclamation promises me my freedom.
*My Carpenters Tools
**[Details] I was 16 years old when I first apprenticed to a carpenter. He treated me very cruelly, and I was subject to frequent beating whenever a tool was misplaced. I was fortunate that my previous owner heard of my hardships and came to speak to him about my treatment.<br><br>The skills I learned there, no matter how unpleasantly, have enabled me to work for the British and the cause of my own Liberty\n
**[Boston King comment] These are the tools I used when I was a slave.

|-|Black Jaguar=
;Defending the Hudson
In the [[Americas]], the term ‘black panther’ generally refers to a melanistic [[jaguar]]. They are not a separate species, but a color morph of the spotted form. Black jaguars form less than ten percent of jaguars.
Near this spot, in 1776 the Battery fortifications overlooked the Hudson. At the time, American forces had taken control of New York, and the British Navy blockaded the harbor. Join the soldiers at the Battery under the command of Rufus Putnam, man the cannon, and do what you can to stop the British ships coming up the river. <br><br>Enter the revolutionary era Battery fort and take up your position at a cannon.


Black jaguars can be found in Isla Providencia and Pinos Isle.
;Historical details
By the summer of 1776, revolutionary forces controlled Manhattan, but the harbor told a different story. Hundreds of British ships filled New York Harbor, carrying tens of thousands of soldiers in the largest amphibious invasion of the eighteenth century. <br><br>General George Washington had cannons dragged into position near here to stop the British ships. On October 17, lookouts spotted HMS Phoenix and HMS Rose pushing up the Hudson. American batteries opened fire, but the ships broke through with little damage. Panic spread across the city, and Washington's supply and communication lines were suddenly exposed. The Revolution in New York began not with victory, but with uncertainty and fear, as the city became the central battleground of the war.


|-|Cat=
;Instructions
The cat is a small carnivorous mammal with a flexible body, sharp claws, and quick reflexes. Cats have long been domesticated, and are favored as pets for their affectionate independence, and playful natures.
Objective
Under the command of Rufus Putnam, you must man a cannon at the Battery and shoot the British ships as they attempt to sail up the Hudson River.


Sailors often keep cats aboard ships to deal with rats and other vermin.
Aiming and Firing
Drag the slider at the bottom of the screen to aim the cannon.<br><br>Tap the fire button to fire.


|-|Crocodile=
Reloading
The [[Crocodile]] is a large, tropical-dwelling tetrapod. Crocodiles can measure up to 15 feet long, weigh 2000 pounds, and live to be 70 years old. This prehistoric-looking predator preys on birds, fish, insects and other reptiles.
After each shot, you must reload. Tap on the screen when the triangle touches the bar to load, then repeat to ram and prime the cannon.


Crocodiles have been known to indulge in cannibalistic behaviour. Because of this, they live in groupings of the same size.
;What happens
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [Start] ''Stand and ready your guns. The Phoenix will come from the left!''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [first shot] ''If they get past our fortifications, they will be able to cut our supply and communication lines.''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [first reload] ''Take your time and make the shots count. America is watching your aim!''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [second ship] ''Look to your left, there is the Rose. Focus on her and aim for the waterline!''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [third ship] ''There is another on the left! We're cutting them up, but I'm not sure it's going to be enough.''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [ships out of view] ''Good shooting. Hopefully the batteries further upriver will be able to finish the job.''


Not to be confused with alligators, crocodiles are bigger, lighter in color, and have narrower snouts. Although known to attack [[humans]], the crocodile is more likely to flee than to react aggressively when approached.
;Outcome
*Hudson Breached!
Despite your efforts, the British ships have broken through and sailed up the Hudson. The batteries further up the river will have to stop them now.


Crocodiles are most commonly found in Nassau, Long Bay, and Matanzas.
;Log
At the Battery I took control of a cannon and tried to stop the British ships coming up the river.\nDespite my best efforts and some good shooting I couldn't stop the British Navy.


|-|Deer=
|-|House=
Deer are large hoofed ruminants notable for having two large and two small hooves on each foot. Males have antlers while the females do not, with the exception of a single species where the females also grow antlers. Deer are selective feeders, eating plant food low in fiber content and high in protein such as young grass, herbs, woody shoots, and bark.
;Colonial House
Not far from here, in 1781, British officers were billeted in the grand houses lining Broadway during the occupation of New York. Join Washington's Culper Spy Ring and use your role working in one of these houses to secretly gather information that could help the war.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York and head down revolutionary era Broadway towards a British occupied house.


Various subspecies of deer can be found in the Caribbean bioregion. The red brocket deer, for example, is found in Trinidad and Tobago and the Key deer, introduced by colonists, inhabits the Florida Keys.
;Historical details
Between 1776 and 1783 New York became a center of espionage! The most famous American spy network, known as the Culper Ring, reported directly to George Washington and relied on informants across the region.  British officers were often billeted in private homes, living alongside civilian families, which blurred the line between public war and private life. While American men such as the merchant and tailor Hercules Mulligan played important roles, much of the intelligence gathering depended on women, both free and enslaved, whose daily work allowed them to move through the city with less suspicion. <br><br>Domestic labor placed women in kitchens, parlors, markets, and streets where British officers spoke openly. They could observe troop movements, overhear conversations, and quietly pass along information through coded messages and trusted couriers. In a city filled with checkpoints and patrols, ordinary routines became acts of resistance. In occupied New York, intelligence gathered inside homes and boarding houses helped shape Washington's decisions and influence the course of the war.


Deer are most commonly found in Kingston, Salt Lagoon, and Santanillas.
;Instructions
Objective
Agent 355, a member of Washington's Culper Ring, secretly gathered information on the British for the Revolution. <br><br>Search through the house and carefully gather important military intelligence from amongst the soldiers' items.


|-|Frigatebird=
Detection
Frigate birds are large seabirds with long wings, forked tails, and slender bodies. They generally inhabit tropical and subtropical oceans, often nesting on remote islands. Frigate birds are skilled fliers, and are known to steal food from other seabirds.
Your presence must go unnoticed. Avoid creaky floorboards and don't spend too long in the room, or suspicion will grow.\nWatch the suspicion indicator on your screen. If it fills up, it will be too dangerous to continue and the mission will end.


|-|Hammerhead Shark=
Crucial Intel
Found across the world in tropical and temperate waters, the [[Hammerhead sharks|hammerhead]]'s unusual head shape gives it increased sensory ability to detect its prey. The hammerhead does not attack humans, although it can be lethal if provoked.
Tap on highlighted items around the room to inspect them.<br><br>Review the information and only take relevant intel as each piece you take will raise your suspicion meter.


Hammerhead sharks can be found in the Eleuthera and Gibara regions.
;What happens
Items:
*Fuel request
This letter details the problems of getting suitable firewood. Soldiers sent out of the city to source it were ambushed by revolutionary troops. The letter contains a request to requisition additional supplies for the stores as the weather grows colder.<br><br>This is proof of the effectiveness of our current strategy.
*Troop distribution
This is a dispatch detailing the movement of several hundred soldiers from the city to the Caribbean to deal with unrest there. <br><br>The weakening of the defenses in New York could prove essential intelligence for General Washington and his aim of retaking the city.
*Pass to New York
This is an official military pass granting the bearer the ability to leave the city and travel through the checkpoints in the surrounding area. <br><br>With the city under the control of the British Army, all movement of people in and out is carefully controlled - this could be a great help to our spies in the city.
*Map of Westpoint
This is a military plan of our defenses at West Point. It shows the defenses and the chain used to obstruct British navigation of the Hudson. <br><br>This may be normal planning, but it could also signal that General Washington is correct and the British do plan to attack!
*Rivingtons paper
Ha, it's not surprising that they are reading the Royal Gazette. <br><br>Rivington is nothing more than the King's mouthpiece and I'm sure these soldiers lap up his lies.
*A shopping list

|-|Howler Monkey=
*'''Muffled British Officers:''' [QuarterDetection] ''... well personally I don't think they have much of a chance. They're farmers, not soldiers ...''
Considered one of the loudest animals on [[earth]], the small-sized [[Howler monkey|Howler Monkey]] generates a siren-like howl that can be heard from a distance of 3 miles (5km). They are not aggressive and are popular as pets in The West Indies.
*'''Muffled British Officers:''' [HalfDetection] ''... it's not really about Liberty, it's simply the question whether the colonies shall or shall not be subject to the legislature of Great Britain ...''
*'''Muffled British Officers:''' [ThreeQuarterDetection] ''... it's a tragedy that we must sacrifice so many brave lives, in order to put an end to such an unnatural rebellion ...''

*'''Agent 355:''' [Start] ''I'm going to need to be as silent as the grave or I might just end up in one.''
The hutia is a large rodent unique to the Caribbean basin which varies in size, and can form distinct species from island to island. Hutias are often hunted by locals to be eaten in a spiced stew.
*'''Agent 355:''' [Floorboard] ''I need to watch out for creaky floorboards!''
*'''Agent 355:''' [useless intel] ''I'm not sure this is going to help us win the war.''

*Intel Gathered
This is the intel vital for the revolutionary cause. Gathered from under the noses of the British Officers.


|-|Iguana=
;Log
Iguanas are large, herbivorous lizards found throughout the Caribbean islands. The common iguana eats only leaves, flowers and fruit. Despite their at times fierce appearance they are not aggressive, and typically flee when threatened. However, they can lash their tails and bite if provoked.
Working for Washington's Culper Spy Ring I used my role working in one of these houses to secretly gather information that could help the Revolution.


Iguana are found in Great Inagua, Andreas Island, and Abaco Island.
|-|Escaping=
;Escaping Brooklyn
The remnants of Washington's forces landed near here in 1776, after a devastating defeat on Long Island, having evaded the British navy and escaped under the cover of darkness. Crew a ship carrying Caesar Glover and his soldiers, in order to help them evacuate before it is too late.<br><br>Enter the docks of revolutionary era New York to guide the ship back to harbor.


|-|Jaguar=
;Historical details
The largest feline in the Western hemisphere, the [[jaguar]] is distinguished by its compact and powerful build, its agility, and its unique killing method of biting directly into the skull to pierce the brain. The [[Maya]]ns believed that the jaguars could carry messages to and from the afterworld.
In August 1776, nearly 9,000 soldiers evacuated Manhattan in small boats. The Revolution had nearly collapsed. British forces overwhelmed the Continental Army on Long Island in the largest battle of the war. By August 29, George Washington and thousands of soldiers were trapped in Brooklyn, pinned against the East River with the Royal Navy blocking escape. If the army were captured, the rebellion might end before it had truly begun. <br><br>As night fell, a daring plan took shape. Under cover of darkness and aided by a thick fog that rolled in before dawn, soldiers began evacuating across the river in small boats. Experienced mariners from the region, including White, Black, and Native seafarers, quietly ferried troops to Manhattan while British warships sat unaware in the harbor. All night long, men, horses, and supplies crossed the water in near silence. <br><br>By morning, thousands of soldiers had escaped without detection. It was not a battlefield victory, but it was decisive. The survival of Washington's army ensured that the Revolution would continue, and New York became the setting for one of the war's most dramatic escapes.


Jaguars are most commonly found in Cape Bonavista, Long Bay, Tulum, and Principe.
;Instructions
Objective
The Continental Army and Caesar Glover escaped Brooklyn. <br><br>Navigate to the highlighted area on the Manhattan docks without being detected.


|-|Jellyfish=
Steer the ship by drawing a circle on your screen to rotate the wheel. Drag the sail bar up or down to control speed.
Also called a [[wikt:medusa|medusa]], the [[jellyfish]] isn't technically a [[fish]]—it is a free-swimming {{Wiki|Cnidaria|non-vertebrate}} found in every sea across the [[Earth|world]]. Jellyfish consist of a {{Wiki|Mesoglea|gelatinous bell}} with trailing tentacles capable of {{Wiki|Cnidocyte|stinging}} prey. Jellyfish stings are in most cases harmless to [[human]]s, but some can be extremely serious, even lethal.


|-|Manta Ray=
Detection 

Although related to [[shark]]s, [[manta ray]]s are harmless. They can be quite large (up to 30 ft (9m) wide) and feed on small [[fish]] and plankton, funneling food into their mouth using {{Wiki|cephalic}} flaps extending from the eyes. Manta rays, which are found all over the world, have the unique ability to leap from the water into the air to escape attackers.
On the left of your screen is a detection meter that will begin to fill if you are spotted. <br><br>Avoid detection by the British ships by steering away from their search lights or by hiding in the clouds of fog.


|-|Monkey=
;What happens
Monkeys in the Caribbean are primarily an introduced African species called the green monkey, although up to the 17th Century these still shared territory with the now extinct Jamaican monkey. Both species were omnivores that ate a variety of foraged foods including fruit, seeds, flowers, insects, and smaller animals like frogs and birds.
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [Start] ''Take the utmost care. If the British see us, they will be on us in a moment. We will need both our wits and bravery to make it over. Good luck.''
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [quarterProgress] ''We are fortunate that it is so dark. The British can scarcely discern a man at six yards distance tonight.''
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [halfProgress] ''If this fog lifts, we are done for sure. We will have to trust in fate.''
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [threequarterProgress] ''We are almost there! Hold fast!''


Monkeys were viewed as pests by farmers as they continually raided crops, but were favoured by locals and sailors who adopted them as mischievous, intelligent pets.
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [DetectionEnd] ''Watch out! That's a British ship! We'll have to retreat and try again.''
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [RockEnd] ''Watch out! That will sink us!''
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [SuccessEnd] ''We made it! Well done. I thought I was done for sure.''


|-|Ocelot=
;Outcome
The ocelot is a wild cat that typically has yellow fur with dark stripes in the manner of a jaguar. Ocelots are nocturnal and range from the size of domestic cats up to four feet (1.2 meters) in length.
*Escape successful!
You crossed the East River and avoided detection by British ships. You were fortunate that it was so dark and full of fog or you were sure to have been seen!<br><br>Congratulations on successfully evacuating from Brooklyn. It was a desperate moment for the Revolution


Ocelot hides are coveted by leather workers for their ease of working, patterned fur, soft texture, and durability.
;Log
I screwed a ship past the British blockade and helped Caesar Glover evacuate before it was too late.


Ocelots can be found in Cumberland Bay and Abaco Island.
|-|Fire=
;Fire Suspects
In 1783, with the British still in control of New York, Sir Guy Carleton commissioned an investigation into the causes of the devastating fire of 1776. The inquiry brought officers to this very spot you are now standing on to question those present at the time. Speak to people present at the time of the fire, help prepare an investigation, and accuse someone of being the cause.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York that were destroyed by the fire and begin questioning the suspects.


|-|Turtle=
;Historical details
The [[Caribbean]] basin provides an excellent climate for both land and [[Green sea turtle|sea turtles]]. Turtles are reptiles with a hard, protective upper shell called a carapace. Although they are natural swimmers and can stay submerged for up to 7 hours while resting, turtles breathe air. Despite being awkward and slow moving on land, they go ashore to lay their eggs.
On September 20, 1776, just days after British forces captured New York, a massive fire broke out and spread rapidly across lower Manhattan. Fueled by wooden buildings and strong winds, the flames destroyed nearly one fifth of the city. Churches, homes, warehouses, and vital infrastructure were reduced to ashes. <br><br>As autumn approached, thousands of residents including Loyalists, British soldiers, formerly enslaved people seeking refuge, and civilians caught between loyalties were left homeless. Much of the city became a patchwork of tents and temporary shelters, reshaping life in British occupied New York for the rest of the war. Suspicion quickly followed. British authorities arrested several individuals, accusing revolutionaries of setting the blaze to sabotage the occupation. <br><br>In 1783, just weeks before evacuating the city, Commander in Chief Sir Guy Carleton ordered another investigation. Officials reported possible incendiary evidence and conflicting eyewitness testimony, but no definitive cause was proven. Historians continue to debate whether the fire was accidental or deliberate. The Great Fire of 1776 remains one of the most destructive disasters in New York's history and a stark reminder that the Revolution unfolded not only in battles, but in a city divided by fear and uncertainty.


|-|White Jaguar=
;Instructions
White coats in animals can be due to a specific genetic mutation or albinism. The genetic mutation that yields a white jaguar also results in a more aggressive animal, making them dangerous as well as rare.
Objective
You must investigate and decide upon who caused the great fire of New York for the Carleton Commission. Do this by questioning three key suspects.


White jaguars can be found at Great Inagua.
Talking
The key suspects are: British General William Howe, American General George Washington, and New York fire chief John Baltus Dash.<br><br>Tap on them to ask questions and learn about the fire.


|-|Wild Pig=
New information
The [[wild pig]], or [[wild boar|boar]], is a large cousin of the domesticated [[pig]] covered by hairy bristles. They were introduced by [[Europe]]ans to the [[Caribbean]] basin ([[Christopher Columbus|Columbus]] himself brought eight pigs with him from [[Spain]]). Wild pigs flourished in the island environment and were hunted by sailors and [[Piracy|pirates]] to provide salted pork on their voyages.
Each new piece of information unlocks further lines of questioning.


Wild pigs are most commonly found in Nassau, Great Inagua, and Cape Bonavista.
Notes
Tap the notes icon at any time to re-examine any of the suspects' answers.


|-|Bull Shark=
Accusing
So-called because of their short snouts and their tendency to head-butt prey, [[bull sharks]] are commonly found in warm, shallow waters. They are extremely aggressive and dangerous to [[Humans|humans]]. The females are larger than the males, and adults measure well over seven feet (2.15m) long.  
When you feel you have enough information to make a conclusion you can accuse one of the suspects of causing the fire by tapping on them and selecting 'Accuse'.


Bull sharks can be found in the Dry Tortuga, Gibara, and Punta Guarico regions.
;What happens
*'''Player:''' ''Tell me about yourself, Mr Dash.''
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''I'm John Baltus Dash, a veteran firefighter. I worked to protect the city during the fire. I managed to protect much of the city from the fire, including St Paul's.''


|-|Capuchin Monkey=
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Howe?''
Found throughout Central and [[South America]], [[capuchin monkey]]s are small and highly intelligent. They eat almost anything -- nuts, fruits, small birds, frogs, clams, etc. Many [[Piracy|pirates]] favored capuchins as pets.
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''His men often act like drunken louts. I've seen badly attended cook fires that got out of control.''


Capuchins can be found in Matanzas and Misteriosa.
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Washington?''
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''I heard that Washington was talking about how he wanted the city to burn down.''


|-|Great White Shark=
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about the buildings that were destroyed?''
The largest predatory fish in the world, the [[Great white sharks|great white]]'s lethal aspect is due to its nearly 300 serrated teeth arranged in rows. Great whites have been known to attack [[humans]], but usually more out of curiosity than hunger -- "sample biting" and then releasing their victims. The great white reaches an average length of 15 feet (4.6m).
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''The British soldiers helped take out some buildings to stop the spread of the fire. Without that I think the other half of the city would be gone.''


Great white sharks can be found in the Cruz and Serranilla regions.
*'''Player:''' ''What do you know about the incendiaries that were found?''
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''There were incendiaries scattered all over. Whoever did this wanted to start the fire in multiple spots at once.''


|-|Humpback Whale=
*'''Player:''' ''How do you explain your hidden stash of valuables?''
Known for emitting complex sequences of haunting moans, the [[Humpback whale|humpback]] is a large whale that reaches up to 62 feet (19 meters) in length. They migrate from the poles to the equator seasonally and travel in pods.
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''Of course I knew the fire was coming. The whole place is a tinderbox. Why wouldn't I hide my valuables?''


Humpback whales can be found in the Castillo De Jagua and Navassa regions.


|-|Killer Whale=
*'''Player:''' ''Tell me about yourself, Mr Howe.''
Called the Grampus by sailors in the 18th century, the [[killer whale]], or Orca, is part of the dolphin family. Known for their ferociously deadly predation, killer whales feast on [[seal]]s, sea-lions and even other whales. They hunt in pods in the manner of [[Wolves|wolf packs]] and are found throughout the [[Earth|world]]'s seas.
*'''William Howe:''' ''I'm William Howe, a British general. I am the commander-in-chief of the British Army in North America in charge of New York.''


Killer whales can be found in the Cruz and Conttoyor regions.
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Dash?''
*'''William Howe:''' ''I saw him burying his valuables before the fires even broke out. It's very suspicious, like he knew the fire was coming, but he didn't warn anyone.''


|-|Red Howler Monkey=
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Washington?''
Red howler monkeys are distinguished from other howler monkeys by their reddish fur and large size. They are generally found throughout South and Central America.
*'''William Howe:''' ''That man was definitely up to something. He had all the bells removed from the city. It meant that when the fire broke out, my men weren't alerted until later. I think he planned it!''


Red howler monkeys can be located on Isla Providencia.
*'''Player:''' ''What do you know about the badly attended cook fires?''
</tabber>
*'''William Howe:''' ''My men's training is exceptional, and they are the finest infantry in the world. Sometimes they like to drink and rough house. It's not caused any real issues before.''


<tabber>
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about the plundering that took place?''
|-|Adéwalé=
*'''William Howe:''' ''That's a serious accusation. I sincerely hope you have substantial evidence of my men doing such a thing. Before you continue to repeat those rumors.''
Born: 1692, [[Trinidad]]<br>
Died: Unknown


Born to [[Slavery|enslaved]] {{Wiki|Ogoni people|Ogoni}} parents in {{Wiki|Yorubaland|Yoruba}}, [[Adéwalé]] was sold to the owner of a prosperous [[plantation]] before his teens. He remained on this plantation, working the fields, until his mid teens, always scheming of ways to escape his predicament, but uneasy with the prospect of living life as a fugitive.


Then fortune struck, giving Adéwalé the sign he needed. At some point near his 16th birthday, a group of buccaneers raided the [[plantation]], robbing it of raw cane, refined [[sugar]], and as many [[real]]es as they could find. Seeing in this an opportunity, Adé grabbed a crate of sugar and hauled it aboard one of the longboats the buccaneers had rowed ashore. Surprised to see a slave among them, the buccaneers were nevertheless thankful for the aid, and welcomed Adé among them.
*'''Player:''' ''Tell me about yourself, Mr Washington.''
*'''George Washington:''' ''I'm George Washington, the commander of the Continental Army.''


Adé sailed with this first group of men for many years, quickly learning the ways of a seaman, grateful for the chance to develop his own skills and chase his own passions. And though his life among buccaneers was not free of the usual bigotry of the era, Adé found the prejudice to be more confrontational than restrictive.
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Dash?''
*'''George Washington:''' ''All the water buckets had their handles cut off. Shoddy handling and protecting of his equipment. What is he playing at?''


In 1715, misfortune struck a cruel blow when the ship Adé was aboard, struck a shallow sandbar near the port of [[Havana]]. The buccaneers—mostly [[United Kingdom|British]] at the time—tried desperately to free the trapped vessel, but after catching sight of an approaching [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Man O' War|Galleon]], abandoned ship only to be torn apart by schools of circling [[bull shark]]s. Adé made peace with his fate, and stood his ground.
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Howe?''
*'''George Washington:''' ''His men were plundering houses the flames hadn't even reached yet! Not to mention the amount of patriots they've arrested under the guise of this \"fire\". Clearly they did this to line their own pockets and lower our numbers.''


Taken to [[Havana]] for questioning and inspection, Spanish authorities eventually decided to send Adéwalé to Spain, where they felt he would make an excellent interpreter, owing to his fluent command of Spanish, [[England|English]], and [[France|French]]. Some weeks later, they loaded him into of the Galleons that made up their perennial [[Spanish Treasure Fleet|treasure convoy]], en route to [[Seville]].
*'''Player:''' ''How do you feel about the fire?''
*'''George Washington:''' ''I don't deny that I am pleased the city has burnt down. The loyalists have done us a great service; however, it was not me that did it.''


|-|Ah Tabai=
*'''Player:''' ''What do you know about the church bells that were removed?''
Born: 1660s, [[Yucatán Peninsula|Yucatan Peninsula]]<br>
*'''George Washington:''' ''Yes, I had the bells moved to be melted down into cannons. But that was planned months ago; it has nothing to do with the fires.''
Died: c.1745, Yucatan Peninsula


Named for the [[Maya]]n god of hunting, [[Ah Tabai]]'s given name remains a mystery, and very little is known about his earliest decades. The only child he is known to have fathered died before the age of ten.
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about the buildings that were destroyed?''
*'''George Washington:''' ''Those loyalists were smashing perfectly good houses to bits. The flames weren't anywhere near them!''


What little else we know about him comes from his own mouth; from the stories he told those who knew him. When speaking about his own past, he avoids personal details in favor of abstractions and hints. He frequently speaks of his love and admiration for the tragic history of his people, and used these stories to illustrate the complex intersections of cultures and religions, frequently pointing out the fact that "From within and without come enemies and allies alike. Nothing in life is guaranteed, except surprise..."
;Outcome
*Accused: John Baltus Dash
You have accused the Fire Chief of starting the fire. He buried his own valuables before the fire broke out, suggesting he knew what was coming, and, despite being a known loyalist, he didn't inform the British. His behavior is suspicious, but the evidence is circumstantial and not conclusive.
*Accused: General William Howe
You have accused the British forces of causing the fire, either through malice or incompetence. While British troops were seen looting buildings and numerous Revolutionary supporters were later arrested, the evidence against them remains circumstantial and inconclusive.
*Accused: General George Washington
You have accused the Revolutionary forces of being involved in deliberately starting the fire. General Washington's outspoken desire to deny the British the city, the presence of unexploded incendiaries, and the removal of church bells by American soldiers all point to planned sabotage - but the evidence remains circumstantial and inconclusive.


It is not known how early Ah Tabai acquired the title of Mentor, nor how large his impact was on the [[Assassins]] of the [[Caribbean|West Indies]]. However, that he maintained semi-regular contact with the [[American Brotherhood of Assassins|Assassins in the British colonies]] to the north, in various parts of [[Europe]] and [[Africa]], and in [[China]]. He was instrumental in opening his branch to men and women from all walks of life - mostly Europeans, Africans, and those Native to the area.
;Log
I spoke to people involved in the Great Fire of 1776. I successfully assisted with the investigation into the cause but could not conclusively identify the cause.


As a native Mayan himself, rumors and stories of the ancient [[Observatory (Isu)|Observatory]] were not foreign to Ah Tabai. So when in 1713 rumors of [[Bartholomew Roberts|a new "Sage"]] began to surface, Ah Tabai took it upon himself to locate the man, believing the Assassins should be the protectors of the ancient and mysterious place. He sent word far and wide to as many Assassin outposts as possible, hoping their network of spies and informants would lead them to their prize. But after two years, there was no word.

;Supplying the Revolution
In 1776, the large houses here along Broadway were used as locations to plan how to get supplies across the Atlantic. American forces were experiencing significant supply issues that threatened the course of the Revolution. With battles against British forces imminent and gunpowder supplies running low, work with Francis Lewis to plot a safe route.<br><br>Enter the docks of revolutionary era New York to begin planning the shipping route.<br><br>This memory has been created in partnership with the Welsh Government.


Then, in early 1715, an experienced British Assassin named [[Duncan Walpole]] arrived at Ah Tabai's encampment, initially expressing a desire to train under the Mentor directly. Ah Tabai found the request odd but flattering, for Walpole had already achieved a level of Mastery few assassins ever reached. After many months of intensive training, Ah Tabai came to consider Duncan Walpole as one of his most trusted colleagues.
;Historical details
The Revolution was almost lost, not with a grand battle or cunning act of espionage, but with a shortage of supplies. When George Washington took command in 1775, he discovered the evolutionary army had a critical shortage of supplies. The shortages included food, clothing, and weaponry, however the most critical was with Gunpowder. With only 38 barrels of gunpowder, equivalent to just nine rounds per soldier, in the stores they were almost unable to fight the British. <br><br>America lacked the natural deposits of saltpeter that was needed to create their own and as a result they were reliant on imports, largely from their allies in France. These supplies were largely shipped across the Atlantic then via French colonies in the Caribbean. These routes sought to avoid the British blockades and seizures, a process that required a deep understanding of international shipping. <br><br>The newly formed American army turned to people like Francis Lewis, successful merchants who has taken up the patriot cause despite the risks to both their life and fortunes. This approach saw moderate success and led to several crucial clandestine shipments reaching America in 1777, supplies that enabled the army to engage in some of the most important early battles.


Then in June of 1715, word arrived that the [[Templars]] had located and imprisoned the [[Sages|Sage]] on [[Spain|Spanish]] lands in the far south. Seeing an opportunity to cripple his arch-enemies, Ah Tabai entrusted Duncan Walpole with the task of rallying various Assassins around the West Indies and leading an assault on the Templar prison ship en route to [[Havana]]. Duncan Walpole agreed to this task... and was never heard from again.
;Instructions
Objective
Help Captain Francis Lewis plan routes to move supplies from the Caribbean. These supplies that are critical to the Revolution.


It was only after [[Edward Kenway]]'s disastrous meddling in Havana that Ah Tabai was made aware of the full extent of Walpole's betrayal.

[[Anne Bonny|Anne]] was barely a teen when she left her native [[County Cork|Cork]] in [[Ireland]] for the [[United Kingdom|British]] colonies, and by sixteen she was en route to [[Caribbean|West Indies]] at side of her new husband, Mr. Jack Bonny, a gentle but sturdy young man in his early 20s.

The pair arrived in [[Nassau]] in April of 1716, settling down with an unclear idea of what shape their lives might take. Jack eventually found work on one of the small [[plantation]]s there, while Anne cultivated her ability to loaf and daydream. Unfortunately, her beauty, aloofness, and complete indifference to propriety made her the object of more romantic attention than she had ever known or cared for.

While Jack disappeared further into his work, Anne grew more confident and sociable, eventually taking a job as a barmaid at the popular [[Old Avery]] [[tavern]] in the center of Nassau. And though she took on a few lovers in the next few years, it was mostly out of envy and spite that the rabble of Nassau branded Anne a harlot and a tease. But with no high society to shun or shame her, Anne's desirability only increased on the strength of these rumors.

*Supplies delivered safely!
Following your course, the ship delivered supplies to our Revolutionary forces in America. <br><br>With General Washington's supplies running dangerously low due to British blockades, this delivery could prove vital to the ongoing fight. Well done.


Known variously by different sources as Thatch, Teach, Theach, Tache, Titche, Teatch, Tack, and more, we are fairly certain [[Edward Thatch]] was born in or around [[Bristol]] and took to the sea at an early age, most likely in his teens. It is also speculated that he arrived in the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] quite soon after leaving England.
;Log
I worked with Welshman and Patriot Francis Lewis to plot a course for supplies from the French Caribbean to America. These supplies were critical for the ongoing war effort.


If this was indeed the case, Ed Thatch would have seen his fair share of the [[War of Spanish Succession]], a protracted fight between most of the Empires of [[Europe]] that pitted Hapsburg Austia and its British ally against Bourbon France and Spain. In these early years, from 1700 to 1713, Thatch was a privateer or at the very least a merchant seaman, doing his part for the crown—[[Anne, Queen of Great Britain|Queen Anne]] at the time.
|-|Pole=
;Liberty Raised
In 1771, patriots gathered here, overlooking City Hall, to erect Liberty Poles in defiance of British rule. Tensions with the occupying forces were high. Alongside Sons of Liberty member Isaac Sears, design and raise a pole in protest at British occupation.<br><br>Enter the revolutionary era New York City Hall to begin raising a liberty pole.


But with the [[Peace of Utrecht|Treaty of Utrecht]] bestowing peace upon a troubled [[Europe]] in 1713, Thatch and his fellow sailors found themselves far from home and out of work. Thus, they turned to [[piracy]] as a means of sustaining themselves. In the ensuing years, Thatch befriended a captain named [[Benjamin Hornigold]] and soon after joined his crew as quartermaster, at some point between late 1714 and early 1716.
;Historical details
After Parliament repealed the Stamp Act, New Yorkers marked the moment by raising what became known as a liberty pole on the Common, near where British soldiers drilled. \nIn the 1760s, new British taxes and trade regulations had sparked fierce protests, especially among maritime workers and laborers who felt the economic strain most directly. The streets were a battleground.<br><br>The tall white pine mast, timber normally reserved for Royal Navy ships, rose above the barracks with a flag proclaiming liberty. It was meant to provoke. British troops and Loyalists repeatedly cut the pole down, and each time supporters of the Patriot cause raised another. <br><br> The conflict escalated into street fighting known as the Battle of Golden Hill, often described as the first bloodshed of the Revolution in New York. During the later British occupation, liberty poles continued to appear as symbols of resistance. Some were reinforced with metal bands or greased to prevent soldiers from climbing them. These towering masts were more than protest signs. They were bold declarations that even under imperial authority, many New Yorkers refused to surrender the idea of self government.


Settling in [[Nassau]], Thatch, Hornigold, and the rest of the "Flying Gang" as these pirates called themselves, began cooking up schemes far larger than most pirates of the era dared dream. Wanting nothing less than a country of their own, they worked to turn Nassau into a place of liberty and freedom for all who desired an escape from the bonds of imperial rule.
;Instructions

When you have finished designing, tap on the check mark on the paper at the bottom of the easel to finalize your Liberty Pole.


;What happens
*'''Hercules Mulligan:''' [start] ''Let's show those British clods that we'll not be cowed. Raise our Liberty Pole high and proud.''
*'''Hercules Mulligan:''' [first pole] ''The chiselers in the barracks will be furious at the use of the mast for a pole.''
*'''Hercules Mulligan:''' [first top] ''Be it a Liberty plaque or a red Cap of Liberty, our message to them couldn't be more clear.''
*'''Hercules Mulligan:''' [end] ''With every flag flown and every voice calling out in dissent, the support for the cause grows, my friend.''


As Thatch's reputation as a worthy and fearsome seaman grew, so did his ideas about piracy. At some point in the latter half of 1717, having grown a long and frightful beard, he took to calling himself "Blackbeard", and worked at every turn to bolster his legend as the most feared pirate in the West Indies. Thatch reveled in the power of a good legend, and worked hard to cultivate his—frequently sticking lit slow-matches in his hat to raise a frightening cloud, or challenging his crews to endure long stretches below deck as burning sulfur clouded the hold.
;Outcome
*Liberty Pole Raised!
You successfully raised a Liberty Pole in front of the British barracks, sending a clear message to the occupying forces. It may be cut down, but a new one will be raised in its place.


After helping Hornigold take command of a number of vessels, Edward Thatch finally acquired a [[ship]] of his own in September 1717—a vessel called "The Adventure"—captained by the most unlikely pirate of them all, one [[Stede Bonnet]]. For two months, Thatch captained the Adventure, with Stede content to tag along as a passenger. But in November, Thatch's fortunes improved further when he captured a massive French slave ship called La Concorde. Renaming her [[Queen Anne's Revenge]] in honor of his former Stuart Queen (and possibly as a subversion to validate his continued piracy), Edward "Blackbeard" Thatch was now one of the most feared and deadly pirates in the West Indies.
;Log
Alongside Sons of Liberty member Isaac Sears, I designed and raised my own Liberty Pole in protest against British occupation.


For the next year he terrorized the West Indies and environs, before sailing north to the [[United States|British colonies]] in [[North America]]. Here he frightened the inhabitants of an entire city when he blockaded the port of [[Charleston]], [[South Carolina]], in an attempt to acquire medicine for his ailing crew.

;Nine Men's Morris
1779 New York, occupied by the British, was torn apart by war, its streets shared uneasily by loyalists, patriots, and those caught somewhere in between. Take a moment's respite from the simmering tensions to sit here at City Hall Park, and play Nine Men's Morris with people with differing opinions on the war.<br><br>Enter the streets and taverns of revolutionary era New York to find a game.


But shortly after this audacious gambit, Blackbeard decided he'd had enough of the pirate life. He was nearing forty and, despite his ferocious reputation, had lost his love for the pirate's game. In the early summer of 1718, he half-heartedly accepted a pardon from his friend [[Charles Eden]], Governor of North Carolina. But by late August of that same year he had fallen back into his old habits, restricting his activities to the southeastern coast of the North American British colonies. Unbeknownst to him, the Governor of [[Virginia (state)|Virginia]], [[Alexander Spotswood]], was keenly aware of his continued piracies, and was busy organizing a party to "extirpate this nest of [[Snake|vipers]]".
;Historical details
Nine Men's Morris was a popular strategy game during the American Revolution and was played by soldiers and civilians alike. Boards were scratched into stone tavern tables, barrack walls, and public spaces across New York. Taverns and coffee houses were central gathering places where people shared news, argued politics, and passed the time. The rules of the game were simple: place your pieces carefully, block your opponent, and trap them until they could no longer move. But the strategy required patience and calculation. <br><br>In the 1770s, New Yorkers were engaged in a far more dangerous contest. Debates over Parliament's taxes and British authority filled these same public spaces. When talk turned to independence, the city divided. Some residents still considered themselves British and supported the Crown. Others were uncertain, worried about challenging the world's most powerful empire. Many favored resistance but disagreed about whether armed conflict was the answer. Class, occupation, faith, and neighborhood shaped opinion, and choosing a side carried real risk. Like Nine Men's Morris, the struggle for New York required careful moves. One wrong decision could leave you exposed in a city where politics, loyalty, and survival were deeply intertwined.


In November of 1718, Spotswood offered money to British pirate hunter [[Robert Maynard|Lieutenant Maynard]] to see the job done. Taking command of a few fast ships well suited to the shallow inlets where Blackbeard was known to hide, Maynard set off in search of his prize. He learned from passing ships that Blackbeard was likely anchored on the inland side of [[Ocracoke Island]], an ideal haunt for a pirate. As dusk fell on November 21st, Maynard and his crew spotted Blackbeard's rag-tag group, but decided to hold off their attack until the tide rose. In the early hours of the following day, Maynard's crew slipped into the bay and approached Blackbeard's ship. They were greeted by a sudden volley of [[pistol]] shots and [[cannon]] fire. This caused Maynard to retreat, giving Blackbeard and his crew time to slip through the shallow waters and escape.
;Instructions
Objective
As a keen Nine Men's Morris player, you must play against an opponent of your choosing. <br><br>Playing against different people will let you learn about life in New York during the occupation.


However, weary of his continual pursuit, Blackbeard sought out Maynard and was caught in fierce hand to hand fighting with his crew on the deck of Maynard's ship. Despite help from his consort Edward Kenway, Blackbeard was overcome. Heavily wounded by multiple sword strokes and pistol shots, he was slain by Maynard who struck the final blow from behind.
Placement
You and your opponent will take turns placing a man anywhere on the board. You both have a total of nine men each.


|-|Edward Kenway=
Mills
Born: 1693, [[Wales]]<br>Died: ????
If a player creates a 'mill', by placing three of their men in a straight, non-diagonal row, they can remove one of their opponent's men that are not already in a mill. Mills can be made in any phase so watch where your opponent is placing their men and be sure to block any mills; otherwise, your men will be removed.


[[Edward Kenway|Edward James Kenway]] was born on the 10th of March in [[Swansea]], [[Wales]], to [[Bernard Kenway]] of [[Manchester]] and [[Linette Kenway|Linette Hopkins]] of nearby {{Wiki|Cardiff}}. By Edward's 10th birthday, his father had moved the family to a [[Hatherton|small farm]] just outside [[Bristol]], a nearby port town in the southwest of England.
Movement
Once all pieces have been placed, players can move them one at a time by tapping on the piece they wish to move and shifting it into an adjacent empty space.


This relocation had a depressing effect on young Edward's mood. He grew restless from a lack of contact with old friends and struggled to find an outlet for his limitless energy. By his teens he was spending more and more time in the city away from his farm, where the lure of excitement overrode prudence. By age sixteen, he had substituted a career as a successful farmer for a life of hopeless tomfoolery, frequently shirking his responsibilities to his family in favor of rough company.
Flying
Once a player is down to three men, they can fly by moving their man to any empty space on the board.


In late 1711, at the age of seventeen, Edward met [[Caroline Scott-Kenway|Caroline Scott]], a woman of modest but steady means. Their friendship began cautiously, as Caroline's hand had already been promised to the boorish [[Matthew Hague|son]] of a wealthy [[East India Company]] [[Aubrey Hague|executive]]. But Edward's charms eventually won out, and he and Caroline were married within a year of their meeting; a union that angered [[Emmett Scott|her father]], and got the whole of Bristol talking.
Victory / defeat
Once a player is down to two men or unable to move, the other player wins.


In the earliest months of their marriage, Edward resolved to do well by his wife and provide for her as he believed a man in his position should. But his grandiose dreams and exaggerated opinion of himself prevented him from taking immediate responsibility for their well-being. And after only a year, he had stumbled back into his worst habits - drinking, fighting and idleness.
;What happens
Easy (Loyalist):
*'''Charles Inglis:''' [start] ''Good day to you. Nice to have a game with a new face.''
*'''Charles Inglis:''' [placed] ''You see my problem with the Revolution is not its aim so much as the method. Armed conflict harms everyone.''
*'''Charles Inglis:''' [1st taken] ''It is true; living in the city is not easy. The navy does its best, but the price of food and fuel is beyond the pale.''
*'''Charles Inglis:''' [2nd taken/his] ''That is some sagacity you are showing.''
*'''Charles Inglis:''' [2nd taken/yours] ''It looks like I am to make a cat's paw of you.''
*'''Charles Inglis:''' [3rd taken] ''It can scarce be argued that letting a country slide into mob rule is anything other than terrible. Am I right?''
*'''Charles Inglis:''' [4th taken] ''It is because of moments like this that my fondest hope is that we will put this behind us and act as one people again.''
*'''Charles Inglis:''' [end] ''Well played.''


It was in this dark period that Edward revived an old idea of joining a [[privateer]]ing fleet sailing for the [[Caribbean|West Indies]], with the aim of making war against the [[Spain|Spanish]] and collecting unchecked sums of gold and cargo. This, he told his wife, was their path to quick riches. Being a sensible and prudent woman, Caroline discouraged these fanciful ideas.
Medium (neutral):
*'''Hector de Crevecoeur:''' [start] ''How do you do? Shall we play a game and test our wits?''
*'''Hector de Crevecoeur:''' [placed] ''Freedom is something welcome if given, but I doubt it can be taken.''
*'''Hector de Crevecoeur:''' [1st taken] ''People forget that we have a great country; why risk that?''
*'''Hector de Crevecoeur:''' [2nd taken/his] ''Ah, you rascal. Well played indeed.''
*'''Hector de Crevecoeur:''' [2nd taken/yours] ''It looks like I've caught a weasel asleep!''
*'''Hector de Crevecoeur:''' [3rd taken] ''We need to have suitable caution when facing the most powerful military in the world.''
*'''Hector de Crevecoeur:''' [4th taken] ''I fear mostly for the common man. What chance does he have in all this?''
*'''Hector de Crevecoeur:''' [end] ''Well played.''


By the summer of 1712, Caroline understood that her husband's departure was inevitable. She wanted no further part of Edward's reckless plan, and so left him to live with her parents. Stunned by this sudden turn, Edward was determined to earn his fortune fast and prove himself as capable as he always claimed he was. He left for the West Indies barely one month later, where he soon fell in with the privateer [[Benjamin Hornigold]] and his quartermaster, [[Edward Thatch|Ed Thatch]].
Hard (Rebel):
*'''Abraham Woodhull:''' [start] ''Fancy a game do you, chum?''
*'''Abraham Woodhull:''' [placed] ''Washington and his forces are a-coming to take the city. Mark me they will march down Broadstreet soon.''
*'''Abraham Woodhull:''' [1st taken] ''Aye, it started with the tea sure enough but it's about Liberty, a man's right to make his own way without foreign interference.''
*'''Abraham Woodhull:''' [2nd taken/his] ''Don't try to put the squeeze on me, buddy. I don't squeeze easily.''
*'''Abraham Woodhull:''' [2nd taken/yours] ''Now don't you be calling me a chiseler, this is naught but skill.''
*'''Abraham Woodhull:''' [3rd taken] ''Of course I fear arrest. I ain't no ninny. They round up fellows for the slightest suspicion these days and they have a terrible time of it.''
*'''Abraham Woodhull:''' [4th taken] ''Once the war is one ‘twill be a fairer place for all. Just you wait.''
*'''Abraham Woodhull:''' [end] ''Well played.''


Edward spent the first half of 1713 sailing with these two seasoned sailors, on regular sweeps of the windward passage. But that year, fate threw him another upset. With the signing of the [[Peace of Utrecht|treaty of Utrecht]], all hostile actions between the major empires came to an end and the prospects of British privateers dried up. Now poor, unemployed, and thousands of miles from home, Edward and his colleagues settled on the island of New Providence in [[the Bahamas]] to reconsider their options.
;Outcome
*You lost!
Despite your best efforts, you've lost this game. Why not try again or face off against one of the other people from the city?
*It's a tie!
You and your opponent were evenly matched. Why not try again or face off against one of the other people from the city?
*You won!
Quick wit and smart strategy were needed to win the game. Why not try against one of the other people from the city?


These were fanciful days for Edward. He discovered in the small town of [[Nassau]] a life quite unlike that which he had left behind. The atmosphere of wild and noisy freedom in this small stateless encampment overwhelmed and captivated him. The drinking, the gaming, the women, the aimless desire to simply live as one pleased. And yet, as carefree as he was, his beloved Caroline was never far from his mind. If he could make something of himself in the West Indies—working a [[sugar]] [[plantation]], perhaps—he might win her back after all his time away.
;Log
Taking a moment's respite from the simmering tensions in the city I sat and played Nine Men's Morris with several people with differing opinions on the war.


But in absence of true conviction, habit takes hold fast; and it was only a matter of time before Edward set back out to sea with his mates, to live the life they knew best; no longer privateers—legal and sanctioned—but as [[Piracy|pirates]] now, with nary a whit of loyalty to kin and country, earning his fortune by the sword and pistol, praying his end was never too near.

|-|Calico Jack Rackham=
;Historical details
Born: 1682, [[Jamaica]]<br>Died: ????
By the mid eighteenth century, New York had become the communications capital of colonial America. With a regular packet ship connection to England, news from Europe arrived here first and spread outward to other colonies. At Hanover Square near the East River waterfront, merchants, sailors, and printers gathered to exchange information that shaped public opinion. <br><br>During the imperial crisis after 1763, printers played a powerful role in the growing debate over Britain's authority. One of the most controversial was James Rivington. In 1773 he launched the New York Gazette, and its outspoken Loyalist tone won support from British officials while angering revolutionaries. In 1775 a Patriot mob destroyed his printshop and forced him to flee to London. <br><br>When British forces captured New York in 1777, Rivington returned as the King's official printer, publishing newspapers that defended royal rule. Yet the story did not end there. Evidence later suggested that he secretly supplied information to George Washington's spy network. In a city divided by war, the press became its own battlefield, and loyalty was often far more complicated than it first appeared.


Of the few infamous [[Piracy|pirates]] to call the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] his birthplace, [[Jack Rackham]] was born in Jamaica at the height of [[Port Royal]]'s boom as a den of scoundrels. This would likely explain his atrophied moral compass, for he was frequently drunk, rarely serious about anything, and always chasing women. He used his outrageous and offensive charm to keep out of most trouble. But a strategist and fighter he was not.
;Instructions

Alongside James Parker, a printer in occupied New York, you must use the printing press to create a newspaper. <br><br>The articles are politically varied and what you choose will determine your future.


Nicknamed "Calico" for his affinity for [[India]]n and [[Asia]]n prints, he was a terrible sailor and a worse pirate, given to flights of fancy and myopic ideas that served only himself, rather than solid strategic thinking. He was likely drunk for half of his adulthood, and had a weakness for women that trumped all basic needs, such as sleeping or eating. His disarming charm, dashing good looks, and his swift wit carried him far, but parties can only last so long before someone has to clean up after them.

Each choice affects how you're perceived in New York, and beyond, based on what you choose to print.


Daughter of [[Emmett Scott|Emmett]] and [[Elizabeth Scott]], [[Caroline Scott-Kenway|Caroline]] was born in [[Bristol]], [[United Kingdom|England]], to a prosperous family of merchants and civil servants. Given a modest education by her father, she furthered her own studies in her own way, taking time to read as often as her familiar duties allowed. Splitting her time between this and helping her mother manage her father's affairs, she grew into a confident and level-headed woman with more skill and intelligence than her situation allowed her to exercise.
Printing the Paper
Once all the content has been chosen, tap on the highlighted lever to start the printing process.


Caroline first met [[Edward Kenway]] outside the [[Auld Shillelagh]], in the aftermath of a drunken altercation. She had arrived to fetch one of her servants and there found Edward escorting [[Rose|the woman]] from the clutches of one of Bristol's more notorious [[Tom Cobleigh|cads]]. Thankful for his kindness, Caroline agreed to a second meeting on more equitable terms, hardly thinking a romance possible.
;What happens
*'''James Parker:''' [Start] ''Remember, you will need to add content to the five sections of the printing area.''
*'''James Parker:''' [FirstArticle] ''There are stories from every corner of the world. What would appeal to the readers?''
*'''James Parker:''' [FirstCartoon] ''The city is divided between Loyalist and Patriot supporters; I don't think I'll be able to appeal to everybody.''
*'''James Parker:''' [AllComponents] ''To print the paper follow my instructions and use the parts of the press as I show you.''
*'''James Parker:''' [Draft] ''Time to get this printed.''


And yet—against all odds—that is just what happened. Edward and Caroline grew quite close, and soon fell in love, quite much to the dismay of her father. Emmett Scott had already promised his daughter to the [[Matthew Hague|son]] of a wealthy [[East India Company]] [[Aubrey Hague|executive]], and made his displeasure apparent at every turn. But all his noise was to no avail. Caroline and Edward were married in 1712.


For a time it seemed as though this odd pairing might produce a lasting union. But Edward's deep love for his wife was offset by his uncouth habits and reckless attention to responsibility. Not content to live a life of middle class drudgery, Edward [[Edward Kenway (memory)|dreamed large]], and fixed on the idea that he could sail to the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] and fight as a [[Privateer]] against the [[Spain|Spanish]]. Or, barring that, buy some land and sow a [[sugar]] [[plantation]]. Caroline tried to dissuade her husband, but to no effect.

Even though not yet out of his teens, James Kidd was a cocky and confident lad with a brashness cultivated to counter his youth. He claimed to be the bastard son of the late [[William Kidd]], the infamous privateer-turned-[[Piracy|pirate]] who was captured and hanged by [[United Kingdom|British]] authorities in 1701. Although James had no proof of this connection, his mother always insisted on it, claiming that she spent a single "panicked night of passion" with Captain Kidd just before his departure from London in 1695.

Growing up fatherless and with a spendthrift mother did little to improve his prospects at leading a normal life, and at the age of 12 he found employment aboard merchant vessels sailing between the British colonies in [[North America]] and the [[Caribbean|West Indies]]. By the time he was 17 he called [[Jamaica]] his home, where he further honed his skills as a sailor here.
;Outcome
*Printing pressure
[LOYALIST] Your pro-British articles will find favor with some in New York, but should the British be defeated, expect trouble.
[REVOLUTIONARY] You've backed the Revolutionary cause with your published articles, winning favor with some in New York - as long as you can avoid being shut down or forced out of the city.


Although he never sailed with the likes of [[Benjamin Hornigold|Ben Hornigold]], [[Edward Thatch|Ed Thatch]], or [[Edward Kenway]], James was among the first sailors to settle in [[Nassau]], and was a central figure in its development as a pirate republic.

With tensions between Loyalists and Patriots running high in New York I joined the printers in Hanover Square and assembled different articles to print my own newspaper.


|-|Mary Read=
|-|Statue=
Born: Unknown, [[England]]<br>Died: ????
;Tearing down the King
The statue is gone now, but in 1776, revolutionary supporters gathered here on the Bowling Green, at the foot of the British-controlled fort, around a statue of King George. General Washington did one of the first readings of the Declaration of Independence here. Join the riot alongside Issac Sears and throw ropes onto the statue of King George to topple it.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York and head towards Bowling green.


Of all the infamous [[Caribbean|West Indies]] [[Piracy|pirates]], [[Mary Read]] stands out as one of the most mysterious and inscrutable. No one is sure when she was born, with most speculation ranging over almost a decade, between 1685 and 1695. According to [[Charles Johnson]]—a frequently unreliable source—her mother began dressing Mary in boy's clothes from a very early age, with the hope of passing her off as another man's son.
;Historical details
On July 9, 1776, crowds gathered in what is now City Hall Park to hear the Declaration of Independence read aloud to Washington's troops and the public. With those words, the colonies renounced their allegiance to King George III and declared themselves free states. The news echoed across a city already on edge, as British warships filled the harbor and redcoats stood in nearby barracks.<br><br>That evening, energized by the declaration, a group of sailors and laborers marched down Broadway to Bowling Green, just outside Fort George, the center of British power in New York. Inside the iron fence stood a towering gilded statue of King George III, erected only a few years earlier as a symbol of imperial authority. By torchlight, the crowd pulled the 4,000 pound lead statue from its pedestal and broke it apart while onlookers cheered. <br><br>The fragments were later sent to Connecticut, where much of the metal was melted down and recast into bullets for the Continental Army. In a single night, a royal monument became ammunition, and the Revolution in New York moved from bold words to visible defiance in the streets.


In her teens, Mary evidently harnessed her skill for disguise to secure a job aboard a [[ship]]. Taking to sea, she worked her way forward until she found a position in the [[Royal Navy|British Navy]]. Still disguised as a man, she saw action in battle, though owing to the conflicting reports of her birth, which battle is uncertain. It was during these skirmishes that Mary met her first husband—so the author of the "General History of Pyrates" claims—a Flemish soldier who had evidently fought beside her.
;Instructions
Objective
Rioters toppled the statue of King George at the Bowling Green.<br><br>Throw ropes onto the statue to pull it down.


But this union was not fated to remain intact, as Mary's husband was killed soon after their marriage. With few reasons to remain in [[Europe]], Mary sailed for the West Indies. It is unclear what transpired in the years following, but it is almost certain that she resumed the practice of dressing as a man. It is also assumed Mary continued working aboard ships, improving her skills as a sailor and swordsman.
Ropes
Tap and hold on the pile of ropes, then swipe toward the statue to throw and attach them.


By 1715 or 1716, it was likely she had visited her fellow sailors in [[Nassau]], though perhaps not for the same reasons...
Topple
Once three ropes are attached to the statue, rapidly tap the screen when prompted to topple it.

Born in [[Cuba]], [[Assassin bureau]] leader [[Opía Apito]] was raised Taíno, among her mother's people, never knowing her father, a [[Spain|Spaniard]].
;Outcome
*Statue Toppled
The statue of King George has been toppled! The conviction of New York to oppose the occupation by the British forces and resist their tyranny has been made clear to all.


At twelve, her village was [[raid]]ed by the Spanish. Most of her community was kidnapped and killed. But Opía, the lone free survivor, fought and ran. She survived in hiding for close to a decade.
;Log
Joining the riot in front of the British fort, I worked with Patriot Isaac Sears and toppled the statue of King George.


Much of what we know of Opía is inseparable from legend. Her name, possibly self-given, is an amalgam of the Taíno words for "eternity" and "ghost." She claimed to be a direct descendant of the warrior {{Wiki|Hatuey}}, who stood against the Spanish in the 16th Century. She was guided throughout her life by the mantra, ''Aji aya bom''—better dead than a [[Slavery|slave]].
|-|Turtle=
;The Turtle
In 1776, with American forces in control of New York, Sergeant Lee launched David Bushnell's newly invented Turtle submersible along this bank overlooking the East River. Pilot it undetected beneath the Royal Navy ships, in an attempt to sink the British flagship.<br><br>Enter the docks of revolutionary era New York and head to the Turtle launch location.


In her early twenties, she was hired by the [[Assassins]] as a guide, and was soon [[Initiation into the Assassin Order|adopted]] into their [[Assassin rank|ranks]]. She delighted in a characteristic Taíno approach to strategy: preferring to harm the enemy by taking something from him in battle, that he might live to notice it missing. But as an Assassin she did not shrink from violence.
;Historical details
In 1775, inventor David Bushnell created a remarkable new weapon that looked more like a wooden barrel than a machine of war. Called the Turtle, it is considered the world's first military submarine. Powered by hand and foot, the one person vessel included ballast pumps to control depth, a compass, a depth gauge, and an early screw propeller. Bushnell designed it to carry an explosive charge that could be attached to the hull of a British warship, hoping to disrupt the blockade tightening around New York. <br><br>When Bushnell fell ill, the mission fell to a young volunteer, Ezra Lee. In September 1776, after the British captured the city, Washington approved an attack on General William Howe's flagship, the 64 gun HMS Eagle. Under cover of darkness, Lee pedaled from the Battery toward the massive warship and attempted to drill into its hull to secure the explosive. A metal plate prevented him from attaching the charge, and as he surfaced, British guards began to stir. Lee released the timed device and escaped. The explosion caused little damage, but the attempt was groundbreaking. <br><br>Though the Turtle saw limited use before being lost later that year, it marked the beginning of underwater warfare and showcased American ingenuity in desperate times.


True to her name, once promoted to Assassin Bureau leader, she built an agile and highly effective "ghost" bureau near the [[Cayman Islands]], with virtually no physical footprint to speak of. We might regard it today as an early example of a terrorist cell, but she left no records and no descendants, and until now, history has held no record of it.
;Instructions
Objective
Take on the role of Sergeant Lee and navigate the Turtle submersible through the Royal Navy blockade to the British flagship, the HMS Eagle.


|-|Rhona Dinsmore=
Entering
Born: 1688, Scotland<br>Died: Unknown
To start, approach the Turtle and tap on it to board.


Born in [[Scotland]], [[Rhona Dinsmore]] was made for adventure. After suffering the lows of a troubled household–an absent father and a drunkard of a mother–Dinsmore left her home in Glasgow in her mid-teens. At nineteen, she found work amongst [[merchant]]s in [[Bristol]] and remained at that post for nearly two years.
Movement
Tap the highlighted levers to access the controls. You can control the direction and propulsion with the slider.


By twenty-one, Dinsmore was trapped in a terrible marriage. She fled again and sought refuge in [[Boston]], where she remained for six months, before moving on to the warmer climes of [[Jamaica]]. There she found it exceedingly difficult to find work among farmers, and finally took to the sea, ultimately finding her calling within the [[Assassins|Assassin Brotherhood]].
Navigation
Use the map to track your position and the British ships.


|-|Stede Bonnet=
Detection and hazards
Born: 1688, Barbados
Be careful to avoid hazards such as rocks and anchors from the British ships. You can check for ships and rocks on your map.
Died: 1718, Charles Town


Born into plentitude and wealth on Barbados, Stede Bonnet seemed destined for a life of pleasure and ease. The son of a successful and influential plantation owner, his early life was marked by tragedy when his parents died suddenly, leaving seven year-old Stede orphaned and in a perpetual state of melancholy.
The Bomb
When you reach the British flagship, tap on the highlighted handle to activate the drill and attempt to attach the bomb.


His inheritance of some 400 acres of land softened the blow caused by the loss of his parents, and by the time Stede was in his late teens, he had already restored the sugar plantation to a profitable state. He married young and set about starting a family as soon as possible, but owing to what some called a "disorder of the mind" he never found solace or comfort in these domestic trappings.
;What happens
*'''Designer:''' [start] ''Greetings, Sergeant. Board the submersible when you are ready to start your mission. The weather is good, but you will need to rely on your compass and map. Good luck!''


To further complicate his unease, his firstborn son died in infancy, further amplifying his grief and stiming his restlessness. As a means of coping, he dreamed of going to sea and sailing about the world, meeting people, living life as a man free of the obligations thrust upon him.
*'''Pilot:''' [start] ''I'm glad I've got a little light from the fungi. Without that, it would be awfully dark down here.''
*'''Pilot:''' [quarter] ''Once I've sunk the British flagship, we'll be striking a blow at the British and raising morale. I've just got to avoid detection.''
*'''Pilot:''' [half] ''I don't think I'll ever get used to these controls. Bushnell may be a genius, but this is not exactly simple.''
*'''Pilot:''' [three quarters] ''Almost there now, not much further to go.''
*'''Pilot:''' [Flagship] ''There is their flagship! Now to attach the bomb with the right hand lever.''
*'''Pilot:''' [bomb] ''Darn it all. I've succeeded in getting here but the bomb won't affix!''


At some point around Stede's 29th birthday, his restlessness got the better of him. Owing to "some discomfort he found in a married state" which brought on a "disorder of the mind", Stede decided it was time to take his first bold step into the life he had always dreamed about. Using his considerable fortune, he either purchased a [[boat]] or had one built for him—a small [[schooner]] he christened "The [[Revenge]]".
;Outcome
*Mission Failed!
**Collided with hazard
The Turtle struck a hazard underwater, forcing you to abandon the mission.<br><br>Despite the ingenuity of the newly created submersible, the controls were undeniably difficult to use.
**Alerted the British
The turtle got too close to the British ships, alerting them of your presence.<br><br>Despite the ingenuity of the newly created submersible, the controls were undeniably difficult to use.
**Left mission area
You abandoned the mission.
**Failed to plant bomb
Despite your best efforts, you failed to plant a bomb.


To maintain some semblance to the comforts he had come to enjoy as a man of means, he installed a full library in the [[Captain]]'s quarters, and packed his wardrobe with all manner of finery—[[silk]] pajamas, {{Wiki|smoking jacket}}s, and {{Wiki|frock}}s. Near the end of 1717, his [[ship]] was ready. He bid adieu to his wife and remaining children and weighed anchor, sailing north from Barbados, hoping to reach the [[United States|British colonies]] within a few months. He would never see his family again.
*Mission Succeeded!
**Target reached
You successfully navigated the hazards in the East River and reached the Flagship undetected.<br><br>However, the bomb failed to affix, you had no choice but to deploy it and abandon the mission.


Now sailing under the moniker "Captain Edwards", Bonnet sailed about the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] looking for his first prize. Spotting a large [[Spanish Navy|Spanish]] [[Man O' War|warship]], his crew foolishly encouraged an attack. After a brief engagement, almost half of Bonnet's crew was dead or injured. Miraculously, the Revenge was able to escape capture herself, and Bonnet ordered the crew to sail her to the only place he knew he could find refuge: [[Nassau]].
;Log
 
I piloted David Bushnell's newly invented Turtle submersible undetected beneath the Royal Navy ships in the blockade. I came close to sinking the British flagship but the bomb didn't affix and I had to abandon my mission.
It was here, in the [[Piracy|pirates]]' infamous [[Republic of Pirates|republic]], that Stede met and befriended Captain [[Edward Thatch|Thatch]], the infamous and capable captain who had recently taken to calling himself Blackbeard. Thatch managed to convince Bonnet to hand over the Revenge's reigns, leaving Stede happily confined to his cabin. The two sailed about as unlikely partners for some months, until Blackbeard took a far greater prize for himself: the [[Queen Anne's Revenge]].
 
After keeping Bonnet's Revenge in his own fleet for a short time, Blackbeard suddenly abandoned her along with most of its crew. Bonnet was again free to seek his own path. Perhaps believing he had been properly mentored under Blackbeard's tutelage, Bonnet stuck out for the {{Wiki|Danish overseas colonies|Danish}} {{Wiki|Danish West Indies|island}} of {{Wiki|Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands|St. Thomas}}, hoping to earn a [[privateer]]ing commission. But his crew had other ideas. Plunging headlong into piracy once more, Stede's crew lashed out recklessly at every prize they could find. At the urging of Ignatius Pell, a member of his crew, Bonnet embarked on his most ambitious prize yet--a fleet of eleven vessels just outside Charles-Towne, glutted with cargo and ripe for the taking.
 
This proved to be his undoing, for the fleet had been set up as bait for precisely Bonnet himself. Pirate Hunters hired by the governor of South Carolina set upon the Revenge just as Bonnet engaged, severely crippling his fleet and sending it limping into the shallows of the river. In an act of unlikely heroism, Bonnet swapped places with his crew under cover of darkness, placing them at the helm of the Revenge and sending them off to safeguard his spoils. He remained behind on the river and drew the fire of enemy sloops, allowing Pell and Rowland Sharp to break through the blockade, while he was eventually overcome and captured.
 
Once imprisoned within the Charles-Towne jail, Bonnet gained something of a popular following among the citizenry, delighted by this articulate and good-natured gentleman pirate. While he awaited trial, numerous people came forward as witnesses to attest to the good quality of his character. But this came to nothing, and after one botched escape attempt, Stede was finally walked to the [[Hanging|gallows]] in December, 1718. As the hangman slipped the noose around his neck, he broke down in tears, begging for mercy. The sight of his abject shame moved many to tears, but it was not enough to save him. The "Gentleman Pirate" was no more.

There they established a [[smuggling]] business, which they used to fund their growing involvement with the [[Assassins|Assassin brotherhood]].
 
Although Vance was the more charismatic of the two Assassin brothers, Upton made up for it with his measured, sensible responses to life's challenges.
 
However, every man has a breaking point, and Upton found his after Vance took up with the [[China|Chinese]] "Pirate Queen," [[Jing Lang]], a [[Templars|Templar]], and sought to steal the treasure on which they had staked their retirement before finally attempting fratricide.
 
Depressed, Upton turned to [[alcohol]], which may have been a factor in his retaliation. He ultimately had both Jing Lang and his brother dispatched with the help of Edward Kenway.

|-|Bartholomew Roberts=
Born: 1682, [[Wales]] <br> Died: ????
 
Originally hailing from Wales, little is known about [[Bartholomew Roberts|John Roberts]], the real name of the man who would come to be known as "Black Bart" long after his death.
 
Most assume he went to sea at a very young age -- at 13 or so -- but there is no record of him in any historical documents until his noted appearance in 1718 aboard a merchant's ship, [[Barbados|Barbadian]] in origin. Just a year later Roberts was pressed into [[piracy]] by the notorious [[Howell Davis]] while working aboard [[Princess|a slave ship]] under Captain Abraham Plumb. Though Roberts had likely not gone to sea with the intent of becoming a pirate, when the opportunity thrust itself upon him, Roberts was reported to have said 'A merry life, and a short one shall be my motto.'
 
A few months later Davis was killed in an ambush on the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] Island of [[Príncipe]], and Roberts was swiftly and unanimously elected to replace him. This was surely a testament to the man's natural charisma and leadership, for he had been a pirate only a few months. It was at this point he took the name "Bartholomew", likely naming himself for the infamous Bartholomew Sharpe, a pirate of some renown who had disappeared just two decades earlier.
 
One of the most intelligent and strategic pirates of the [[Golden Age of Piracy|Golden Age]], Roberts was a sturdy man, known to dress in fine clothes. Handsome, and carrying himself with a dignified but unpretentious air, he had dark hair to match his dark complexion, likely set from the almost two decades he had spent at sea. He often carried numerous pistols, each tied to one end of long silk sashes, which he kept slung over his shoulder.
 
Roberts' tactical ideas were usually radical, but thoughtfully considered. He never jumped into any scheme rashly, though his ideas seemed almost suicidal to those unacquainted with his methods. Ultimately responsible for the theft of around 400 ships in his three-year career, he bested every other pirate of the era by a factor of ten times or more, although it must be said that at least half of these boats were small periaguas and the like.
 
|-|Benjamin Hornigold=
Born: Mid-1680s, England<br>Died: ????
 
[[Benjamin Hornigold]] was likely born in {{Wiki|Norfolk}}, [[England]]. The first recorded instances of him are of his early exploits as a [[Piracy|pirate]] in the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] around 1713-1714.
 
Hornigold was one of the earliest pirates to emerge after the end of the [[War of the Spanish Succession]], and one of the many hundreds of privateers who were left without gainful employment in the ensuing peace. Like many other British mariners, he spent much of his time in [[the Bahamas]], eventually settling in [[Nassau]]. It was from there he launched his career as a full-fledged pirate, though he likely thought of himself as a privateer--in his earliest years, at least.
 
A skilful sailor and strategist, Hornigold lacked some of the ruthlessness required to be a truly successful pirate, and until 1716, refused to attack English ships out of a sense of loyalty to his home country.
 
|-|El Tiburón=
Born: Unknown<br>Died: Unknown
 
Almost nothing is known about [[El Tiburón]] "The Shark" outside of his service as the loyal, mute bodyguard of [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]], the Grandmaster of the Caribbean Templars and the Governor of Cuba. The Shark's penchant for medieval armor and brutal violence cut a swathe of fear through Havana, leaving citizens and soldiers alike quivering in his blood soaked wake.
 
|-|Hilary Flint=
Born: 1682, England<br>Died: 1717, West Indies
 
[[Hilary Flint]] was born to an aristocratic family, the youngest of three boys. The black [[sheep]] of the family, he sought solitude in his studies. Immersing himself in math and sciences, Flint discovered an abiding interest in [[Bomb|explosives]], earning him the label of "problem child".
 
To correct his course, his parents enrolled him in military school, where he quicklyexceeded their expetations, working his way into the hearts of both teachers and students, as well as a few secret societies.
 
After graduation, his connections and easy manner earned him access to [[Templars|Templar]] ranks where his obsession with [[firearm]]s made him an important asset.
 
Records reveal an ongoing relationship with [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Rhona Dinsmore]], the full nature of which is uncertain. She vanishes from record after Flint's death at the age of 35.
 
|-|Jing Lang=
Born: 1686, [[China]]<br> Died: 1717, Nassau
 
Born to Chinese rebels, [[Jing Lang]] came into the world fighting, but survived to become a skilled diplomat with a flair for languages and a taste for discovery.
 
Ambitious, Lang married the son of a General in the [[Qing dynasty]], joining the [[Templars|Templar order]], but severing ties with her family in the process. She served as a diplomatic advisor, until a shift in political tides provoked her escape into [[piracy]].
 
Over the next decade, she crossed every sea, developing a reputation for brutality that preceded her into most conflicts.
 
In the [[Caribbean|West Indies]], she fell under the spell of a rumored cache of treasure, and feigned a romantic relationship with one-time [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Vance Travers]] to gain access to it.
 
She might have been successful had it not been for Travers' brother, [[Upton Travers|Upton]], an Assassin who schemed to have her killed, betraying his brother in the process. She died at the age of thirty.
 
|-|Julien du Casse=
Born: 1682, France<br>Died: ????
 
Nephew of the buccaneer [[Jean-Baptiste du Casse|Jean du Casse]], [[Julien du Casse|Julien]] was born in [[Montpellier]], [[France]]. He took after his uncle's example and took to sea at a young age, eventually joining him in a few skirmishes during the [[War of the Spanish Succession]]. Fighting on the side of the French, and by proxy, on behalf of [[Philip V of Spain|King Philip]] of [[Spain]], du Casse's skill as a gunner improved rapidly, even as he grew wildly disillusioned with the monarchy and its obsession with lineage and breeding over raw talent and skill.
 
In 1704, ordered by his superior officers to join his uncle and hundreds of French troops in what would become known as the {{Wiki|Battle of Málaga (1704)|Battle of Vélez-Màlaga}}, du Casse opted instead to desert his post and seek his fortunes in the New World. At first he threw in with [[Slavery|slave traders]] in [[Africa]], and for a year made a modest profit off the venture. But he was never comfortable with the cruelty and detachment the job required, and so departed for the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] in search of yet another vocation.
 
For the next 10 years, du Casse roamed the West Indies as a [[Mercenaries|hired gun]], working for whomever had the coin and confidence to pay him. Ever prizing the value of intelligence and skill over mere reputation and breeding, du Casse, eventually found his way into the company of [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala|Laureano Torres]] of [[Cuba]], in whom he found a friend and confidant...
 
|-|Kenneth Abraham=
Born: 1675, England<br>Died: 1715, Kingston
 
Born to an upper class family and educated in boarding schools from age five, [[Kenneth Abraham]] learned to fight for himself at an early age. Upon graduation, he entered the [[British Army|army]] and rose through the ranks, finally meeting the rank of Commander.
 
His embrace of order and disciple drew him into the fold of the [[Templars|Templar Order]], which offered him influence beyond that offered by his military career. From the age of thirty, he ascended its ranks in parallel to those of his military career by devoting himself to the [[New World Order|promotion of order]] and peace.
 
In 1715, the Assassin Anto infiltrated a Ball held by Abraham on his plantation, together with the pirate Edward Kenway. There, Abraham was assassinated by the pair, confronted in his final moments by the nemesis he had tried and failed to defeat.
 
He remained, until his death, determined to rid the world of unpredictable and disorderly elements.
 
|-|Laureano Torres y Ayala=
Born: 1645, [[Cuba]]<br>Died: ????
 
Born in [[Havana]], but raised in [[Madrid]], [[Spain]], [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala|Laureano]] was of noble stock, the son of Tomas Torres y Ayala and Elvira de Quadros Castellanos. He joined the [[Spanish Army|Spanish army]] in his late teens, and was later appointed as the governor of Spain's territories in [[Florida]], a post he held from 1693 to 1699. He then returned to [[Europe]] to participate in the [[War of the Spanish Succession]].
 
In 1708, Torres was appointed as the governor of Cuba, a post he held for three years until he was accused of and arrested for corruption. He was acquitted of these charges, however, and managed to win a re-election bid in 1713.
 
During his time in Cuba, he made many lasting improvements to the city, fortifying the island's defenses and introducing the production of tobacco there. He remained Governor until 1716, after which point he retired and devoted his life to charitable functions, such as building hospitals.
 
|-|Laurens Prins=
Born: 1630s, Amsterdam<br>Died: 1717, Kingston
 
[[Laurens Prins]] (often anglicized as Laurence Prince) was a [[Netherlands|Dutchman]] from [[Amsterdam]] who spent the majority of his life in and around the [[Caribbean|West Indies]]. Operating out of [[Port Royal]], Prins saw an incredible amount of action and adventure in his long life.
 
Sailing as a [[privateer]] in the early days of the [[Golden Age of Piracy]] (1650s) he developed a reputation for courage fighting the [[Spain|Spanish]] on behalf of the [[United Kingdom|British]] crown, sometimes bearing a {{Wiki|letter of marque}}, often without. He even played a pivotal role in Sir [[Henry Morgan]]'s infamous {{Wiki|Henry Morgan's Panama expedition|raid}} on [[Panama City|Panama]] in 1671, for which he was roundly celebrated.
 
Prins eventually retired from privateering and settled in a large acreage of land in [[Jamaica]]. Around this time he entered into the [[Slavery|slave trade]] as a means of bolstering his wealth, an occupation he pursued well into his seventies.
 
In 1717, his flagship [[Slave ships|slave galley]], The [[Whydah]], was attacked and captured by the [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Samuel Bellamy|"Black Sam" Bellamy]]. He managed to survive the encounter, and fell back into his old occupation until his death some months later.
 
|-|Lucia Márquez=
Born: 1689, Spain<br>Died: 1715, Pinos Isle
 
Born in [[Spain]], [[Lucia Márquez]] never knew her father. By the age of twelve she was supporting herself and her sisters on the streets, begging, borrowing, and stealing anything she could, all the while developing the skills of a master [[thief]].
 
At the age of seventeen, she was caught stealing a [[horse]] belonging to a high-ranking [[Templars|Templar]], and wisely opted for training over jail time.
 
The Templar life gave Marquez the focus she needed and she never found herself at a lack of challenge or adventure.
 
She died at the age of twenty-six on [[Isla de la Juventud|Pinos Isle]], wise beyond her years, on the order of the [[Taíno|Taino]] [[Assassins|Assassin]], [[Opía Apito]].
 
|-|Peter Chamberlaine=
Born: 1660s, England<br>Died: 1718, Nassau
 
Commodore [[Peter Chamberlaine]] sailed into the history books on the coat-tails of [[Woodes Rogers]], [[privateer]] [[captain]] and Governor of [[the Bahamas]]. Though charged with the task of helping Rogers carry out his reforms and issuing King [[George I of Great Britain|George]]'s pardon, Chamberlaine had an irrational and burning hatred for his [[civilian]] commander, and flouted Roger's orders as often as possible.
 
Gruff and humorless, Peter Chamberlaine was nevertheless respected by his men as a man of fortitude and cunning, and his willful defiance of civil authority only bolstered his reputation among the rank and rile.
 
|-|The Sage=
Historic archives contain scattered references to individuals known as "Sages", but they are few and far between. Each citation seems to refer to a different person living in a vastly different time and location.
 
The earliest example was found in a Sumerian clay tablet in cuneiform script, while the latest survives only as a footnote in one of Laureano Torres's own journals, dated January 1704. In all – according to exhaustive research – seven different "Sages" seem to have graced the world's stage in the past twelve hundred years. But the real number is likely higher.
 
Perhaps, the strangest aspect connecting each of these various sightings is the fact that, in every case, visual descriptions of each Sage are remarkably similar. So similar, in fact, that one wouldn't be faulted for assuming they ware talking about a single, immortal man. However, in two of the seven citations, explicit mention is made of their death and burial.
 
Is this therefore some bizarre form of reincarnation? Or some simpler explanation that is presently unknown? More research is required.
 
|-|Vance Travers=
Born: 1690, England<br>Died: 1717, Nassau
 
Born in [[England]], the passionate, creative, yet incredibly gullible [[Vance Travers]], found a life for himself amongst the [[Assassins|Assassin's Brotherhood]] in the [[Caribbean|West Indies]], where he ran a successful smuggling enterprise, with his older brother, [[Upton Travers|Upton]].
 
Business took a turn for the worse after he met and fell in love with the [[Templars|Templar]], [[Jing Lang]], who persuaded him to divulge knowledge of the location of buried treasure with which he and Upton planned to fund their retirement.
 
Paranoid, Travers developed delusions that his brother plotted to steal his treasure and Jing's heart. He broke from [[the Creed]] and, after a failed attempt at fratricide, was killed by [[Edward Kenway]].
 
|-|Woodes Rogers=
Born: 1679, [[United Kingdom|England]]<br>Died: ????
 
[[Woodes Rogers]] was born into money, to a seafaring family with deep roots in both {{Wiki|Poole}} and [[Bristol]], England. His early life was a picture of industriousness and ambition, and by the age of 18 he was an apprentice Mariner.
 
Upon his father's death at sea in 1706, Woodes inherited his family's prosperous shipping company, which he took to managing with great passion. Between 1704 and 1707 Rogers' fortunes and family grew, and by the time he was twenty-seven his marriage to Sarah Whetstone had produced one son and two daughters.
 
By the end of 1707, however, his business had suffered great losses by [[raid]]ing [[France|French]] forces, giving Rogers the idea to recoup these dreadful losses himself. Knocking about Bristol in search of a partner for this endeavor, he soon found himself in the company of [[William Dampier]], an old friend and unlucky [[Captain]] who suggested setting out on a [[privateer]]ing expedition, one that would range far and wide about the [[Americas|New World]]. In 1708, Rogers made the necessary arrangements and set out as Captain of his own vessel, on a difficult voyage that would last over three years.
 
Along this course Rogers met with many successes and failures. In 1709, off the western coast of [[South America]], he found and rescued a marooned sailor by the name of {{Wiki|Alexander Selkirk}}, a sailor who had spent nearly 4 years living in isolation and who would serve as the inspiration for the book "{{Wiki|Robinson Crusoe}}" just a few years later.
 
Soon after Selkirk's recovery, Rogers' fleet engaged an enemy vessel in open combat—a skirmish that earned him a [[pistol]] shot to the left side of his face and a mangled heel. Neither wound was enough to remove him from command however, and he continued serving as captain until his return to England in late 1711. To commemorate this return, he had an operation to remove the offending bullet from his upper palate.
 
Now in poor health but high spirits, he set about writing his memoirs. Upon their publication a few years, they were an immediate success, and proved a great source of income. But this brief glory was offset by the sudden death of his son, a tragedy compounded some months later by his wife's decision to leave him. Also at this time, Rogers was sued by former shipmates for allegedly hoarding goods and money plundered from enemy vessels. Rogers assembled a defense, but lost the case.
 
In 1713, itching to return to sea, he organized passage to [[Madagascar]] claiming to be a [[merchant]] in the [[Slavery|slave trade]], but with the intended purpose of reconnoitering the rumored [[Piracy|pirate]] colonies established there. When he arrived in Madagascar after months of hard sailing, he found that the legends of the pirate town "[[Libertalia]]" had been exaggerated one-hundredfold. The pirates in Madagascar were sickly and few and desperate for help. After spending just a few months here, Rogers set sail for England, a failure in his own mind.
 
And yet, never one to give up hope, Woodes Rogers reoriented his attentions to the [[Caribbean|West Indies]], eventually lobbying King [[George I of Great Britain|George]] for a commission to hunt pirates in the Caribbean. On this score, he succeeded. After a few diligent years of making his case, King George appointed Woodes Rogers as the Governor of [[the Bahamas]]. Now, at last, he would make his mark, and bring justice to a land where chaos had taken root...

Boston People of the Revolution[edit | edit source]

John Adams was a foundational figure of the American Revolution. A Harvard-educated lawyer from Massachusetts, Adams rose to prominence by opposing the 1765 Stamp Act, serving as a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, and working to build the newly formed American navy. While sympathetic to the patriot cause, his belief in the rule of law led him to successfully defend British soldiers involved in the 1770 Boston Massacre. In Congress, he was instrumental in persuading delegates to declare independence, nominating George Washington as commander of the Continental Army, and playing a key role in drafting the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Later, he was central in negotiating the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. Adams later authored the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution, influencing the future U.S. Constitution. He served as the first vice president under Washington and as the second president of the United States.

Born in Boston, Samuel Adams was a pivotal Founding Father, political philosopher, and civic leader who galvanized colonial resistance against British authority. He strongly opposed the Stamp Act and other parliamentary taxation measures, leading to his involvement in the formation and operation of the Sons of Liberty in Boston. During the 1760s and 1770s he coordinated anti-British activities both within Boston and across the colonies, including the Boston Tea Party.

As a delegate to the Continental Congress, Adams was a firm advocate for separating from Britain, signing the Declaration of Independence in 1776. He was also involved in drafting the Articles of Confederation and, after the war, served as governor of Massachusetts.

Crispus Attucks was one of the first casualties of the American Revolution. As an escaped slave working as a sailor and dock worker in Boston, he became a protest leader and the first victim of the Boston Massacre. During the confrontation with British soldiers on King Street, Attucks stood at the forefront of a crowd, demanding that the soldiers leave. When the soldiers opened fire, Attucks was shot twice in the chest, dying instantly.

Although his death was used as political propaganda to fuel anti-British sentiment during the period, his status as a martyr was cemented by 19th-century abolitionists who highlighted his sacrifice as a testament to Black patriotism.

Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers. A seasoned diplomat in London, he initially opposed the Stamp Act and, upon returning to America, he helped draft the Declaration of Independence in 1776. One of his most significant contributions to the Revolution was serving as the primary American envoy to France from 1776 to 1778. Using his fame as a scientist and diplomatic expertise, he secured essential French financial and military support. This support is widely regarded as being instrumental in turning the tide of the war.

Franklin is the only Founding Father to sign all three major documents establishing the United States: the Declaration of Independence (1776), the Treaty of Paris ending the war (1783), and the U.S. Constitution (1787).

John Hancock was an American merchant, statesman, and prominent Patriot leader during the American Revolution. Inheriting a massive fortune from his uncle, Hancock became one of New England's wealthiest men and used this wealth and influence to oppose British taxation policies. His defiance made him popular in Boston, particularly after customs officials seized his ship, the Liberty, in 1768 on charges of smuggling.

Hancock served as the President of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1777, and after the war, he served as the first and third Governor of Massachusetts. He is best known for being the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776, doing so with a large, bold signature to defy King George III.

Thomas Jefferson was a pivotal figure in the American Revolution, acting as a leading intellectual, a political activist, and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the conflict, while he did not fight on the battlefield, he sought to transform the American colonies into a modern republic, advocating for the separation of church and state, the abolition of feudal inheritance laws, and widespread educational reform. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1776, the 33-year-old Virginian was tasked with drafting the document that justified the colonies' break from Great Britain, articulating the foundational American ideals of "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness".

Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, acting as a vital link between the American colonies and France. Inspired by the American cause of liberty, the 19-year-old defied King Louis XVI and traveled to America in 1777, volunteering to serve without pay.

He quickly formed a close bond with George Washington and was commissioned as a major general in the Continental Army. Lafayette proved his bravery and skill in battle and was wounded in action. This led him to return to France and lobby for increased military aid, successfully securing French troops and supplies for the colonies. Returning to America in 1781, he led American forces against Lord Cornwallis in Virginia, setting the stage for the decisive American-French victory at the Siege of Yorktown.

After returning to France after the war, Lafayette remained a lifelong friend of the United States and was granted honorary U.S. citizenship in 2002.

Paul Revere was a prominent Boston silversmith, industrialist, and dedicated Patriot. A leading member of the Sons of Liberty, Revere organized intelligence networks to monitor British troops and co-originated anti-British agitation, including taking part in the 1773 Boston Tea Party. During the war, Revere served in the Massachusetts Militia and manufactured gunpowder for the Continental Army.

He is most well known for his dramatic midnight ride on April 18, 1775, to warn colonists of advancing British forces. Following instructions, a "one if by land, two if by sea" signal was placed in the Old North Church, alerting Revere to the British route across the Charles River. Along with William Dawes and others, Revere spread the alarm from Boston to Lexington, enabling leaders John Hancock and Samuel Adams to escape and allowing militiamen to prepare for the crucial battles of Lexington and Concord. Though captured by a British patrol shortly after his ride, his mission was successful. This was later immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1861 poem, "Paul Revere's Ride" transforming him into a lasting symbol of American independence and civic bravery.

Joseph Warren was a Founding Father of the United States and a central leader in the Patriot movement in Boston during the early American Revolution. A respected physician and member of the Sons of Liberty, Warren became a key political organizer. He often acted as a master spy, utilizing his intelligence network to stay ahead of British movements. Notably, on April 18, 1775, it was Warren who dispatched Paul Revere and William Dawes on their famous midnight ride to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the British march toward Lexington and Concord.

Despite having little formal military training, Warren was later appointed a major general and showed immense courage by volunteering as a private soldier in the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, where he was killed in action at age 34.

George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Tasked with fighting a superior British force, Washington formed the colonial militias into a disciplined fighting force. Despite losing more battles than he won, his resilience, strategic retreats, and crucial victories, such as the final victory at Yorktown, secured American independence.

Unanimously elected, Washington served as president from 1789 to 1797, where he implemented a strong, well-financed national government, including the creation of a national bank. His dedication to civilian control of the military, together with his voluntary retirement after two terms, helped secure the stability of American democracy.

Boston Mem[edit | edit source]

NYC People of the Revolution[edit | edit source]

Caesar was one of hundreds of sailors, White and Black, who helped the Continental Army escape from Brooklyn in 1776, enabling the rebellion to survive. Born in Africa, he was enslaved as a child and brought to North America.

Somehow, he earned his freedom, and in 1775 he joined the Revolution as part of the Marblehead regiment. This group of seamen manned the boats in the New Jersey and New York campaigns, including the famous crossing of the Delaware River. Black New Englanders like Caesar were among the Continental Army's first recruits, 150 of whom carried Washington's troops from Brooklyn Heights to Peck Slip in August 1776. The amateur military, greatly outnumbered, was badly defeated in Long Island. But they were saved by a thick fog, an early historian writing that no one in the region could remember any such weather “within the space of twenty or thirty years\". If not for the skill of mariners like Caesar, military historians agree, no more than half of the decimated rebel army would have escaped.

Nathan Hale is one of the American Revolution's most famous spies and one of its earliest martyrs. Having volunteered to stay in New York after the Battle of Long Island in order to pass information to the Revolutionary cause, the 21-year-old Patriot was hanged by the occupying British government on September 22, 1776. This underscored the importance of effective espionage practices for the rebels.

Alongside George Washington's spy ring on Long Island, intelligence-gathering was far more commonly done by everyday unsung heroes of the cause. Knowledge is typically passed mouth to mouth, through both formal and informal communication networks. Waitresses overhearing conversation between officers in a tavern passed information on to rebel informants. Slaves moving goods from city to country reported on the British army's health. Families permitted to cross battlefield lines to visit relatives shared observations in conversation and correspondence.\n

Alexander Hamilton was one of George Washington's trusted advisers during the American Revolution and the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. Born in 1757 in the West Indies, he was orphaned at the age of 11. His cleverness showed early, and his employers pooled their money to send him to university. Hamilton moved to New York in 1773 and began attending King's College (later Columbia University). By 1774, he was writing pro-rebel articles, and by 1775 he'd joined the volunteer militia to oppose the British. \n \nIn 1776 he formed his own artillery company, becoming a captain, before being appointed as aide-de-camp to Washington in 1777. A skilled military commander, his leadership was decisive in the Battle of Yorktown. After the war Hamilton went on to become a respected statesman, representing New York and the nation in the preservation of the principles of the revolution and formation of the new government.

William Howe was the commander in chief of the British Army in North America (1776–78). Despite several military successes, he was unable to destroy the Continental Army and stem the American Revolution.\n \nWilliam Howe had been active in North America during the French and Indian War a few years earlier, where he earned a reputation as one of the army's most brilliant young generals. He initially captured New York in 1776 when the British defeated the Americans at the Battle of Long Island and later led the campaign to capture Philadelphia. These victories were, however, not enough to defeat Washington's armies, and he resigned in 1778 to return to Britain.

Thomas Jefferson was a pivotal figure in the American Revolution, acting as a leading intellectual, a political activist, and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the conflict, while he did not fight on the battlefield, he sought to transform the American colonies into a modern republic, advocating for the separation of church and state, the abolition of feudal inheritance laws, and widespread educational reform. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1776, the 33-year-old Virginian was tasked with drafting the document that justified the colonies' break from Great Britain, articulating the foundational American ideals of \"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness\".\n

Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, acting as a vital link between the American colonies and France. Inspired by the American cause of liberty, the 19-year-old defied King Louis XVI and traveled to America in 1777, volunteering to serve without pay. \n \nHe quickly formed a close bond with George Washington and was commissioned as a major general in the Continental Army. Lafayette proved his bravery and skill in battle and was wounded in action. This led him to return to France and lobby for increased military aid, successfully securing French troops and supplies for the colonies. Returning to America in 1781, he led American forces against Lord Cornwallis in Virginia, setting the stage for the decisive American-French victory at the Siege of Yorktown.

Francis Lewis was a Welsh-born merchant and patriot who signed the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. As a dedicated radical in New York, he served in the Stamp Act Congress and was a member of the Committee of Sixty and the New York Provincial Congress before joining the Continental Congress from 1775 to 1779.

During the Revolutionary War, Lewis utilized his commercial experience to help secure supplies for the Continental Army, particularly through his work on the Continental Board of Admiralty. His commitment to the patriot cause came at a high personal cost. Following the Battle of Long Island in 1776, British forces destroyed his estate in Queens and imprisoned his wife. While she was later released in a prisoner exchange, the harsh conditions of her captivity severely affected her health, leading to her death in 1779. Devastated by his wife's death, Lewis subsequently retired from politics, leaving Congress in 1779 and retiring completely by 1781.

Hercules Mulligan was a vital spy for the Continental Army and a dedicated patriot during the American Revolution. Raised in New York City, he was an early member of the Sons of Liberty and a close associate of Alexander Hamilton, whom he mentored and introduced to revolutionary ideals. Working as a successful tailor, Mulligan cultivated relationships with high-ranking British Officers, allowing him to gather crucial intelligence directly from the enemy. Despite the dangers of operating within British-occupied New York, he operated as a confidential correspondent for George Washington, supplying information that helped shape the war's outcome.

Mulligan is credited with saving Washington's life on two occasions by revealing plots to capture him. Even after being suspected of spying and briefly arrested, he continued his intelligence work with the help of his enslaved assistant, Cato. Following the war, Washington solidified Mulligan's reputation as a patriot by having breakfast with him shortly after the British evacuation of New York.

Isaac Sears was the public face of the Sons of Liberty in New York City, the second and perhaps most active chapter in the colonies. He was a prosperous merchant, like so many leaders of the underground rebel group. During the mid-1700s, he made fine income as a privateer, hunting the ships of imperial rivals for the British. Only when the Sugar Act brought an end to his trade in the West Indies did the sea captain turn against Britain. During the revolution he was a member of the Committee of Sixty and was involved in raids on British troops and in the destruction of Loyalist property throughout New York City.

Anna Smith Strong was the only recorded female member of the Culper Spy Ring, a secret network established to gather intelligence for General George Washington in British-occupied New York. Living in Setauket, Long Island, she utilized her position to pass messages while avoiding suspicion, partly because her relatives were Loyalists.

Strong's fame stems from the ingenious clothesline code which she used to signal Caleb Brewster, a courier who transported intelligence across the Long Island Sound. When a message was ready to be picked up, she would hang a black petticoat on her clothesline, clearly visible from across the bay. She would add a specific number of white handkerchiefs to indicate which of the six designated coves Brewster should use to meet his contact.

George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Tasked with fighting a superior British force, Washington formed the colonial militias into a disciplined fighting force. Despite losing more battles than he won, his resilience, strategic retreats, and crucial victories, such as the final victory at Yorktown, secured American independence. \n \nUnanimously elected, Washington served as president from 1789 to 1797, where he implemented a strong, well-financed national government, including the creation of a national bank. His dedication to civilian control of the military, together with his voluntary retirement after two terms, helped secure the stability of American democracy.
