America had been free, a democracy. But
now Edward III was king, and America was a land with a small, wealthy elite
and a vast body of peasants eking out their meager living in the countryside
or preying upon one another in dangerous city slums. Edward's soldiers
and especially his executioner, Brigadier General Tow, would see that this
was exactly how life in America remained.
Only one man ever had the courage to speak out against
the tyrant's rule -- a man driven by the dream of restoring democracy to
the land, only to become the martyr ignominiously hanged on Boot Hill.
But from this death a new leader was born, a visionary young man not quite
of this world, Chicago Red. His words would take action and be the spark
to set the land ablaze with a new kind of revolution.
