Title
Rebellion on the Chesapeake: America's First Revolution in 1676 - Paperback
by Carolin a. Crabbe (Author)
When Wannis, a Dogue warrior, steals a planter's pigs after the man cheats him, things spiral out of control. George Mason retaliates and wipes out his tribe, while John Lucas, under Colonel John Washington, lays siege to a nearby Susquehannock fort. The tribal elders emerge under a flag of truce and are slaughtered in cold blood. The fierce Susquehannocks vow revenge and launch a year of violence and carnage along the Chesapeake Bay. Hundreds of colonists are massacred. Thomas Swann urges the governor, Sir William Berkeley, to protect the people, but he refuses. Overtaxed by a corrupt system, the colonists rebel and oust their governor from power exactly 100 years before the American Revolution. What role do the ancestors of the founding fathers play in the first independence of 1676? Why are these events of extraordinary bravery, but also betrayal, shrouded in secrecy? The tale will captivate and astound you.
