Yeah, for real.

Colonial Williamsburg, indeed.

So fast forward to 1774, a banner year for Lord Dunmore and not anything.

in a fun way.

This is when his storyline shifts from colonial gossip column to hold my powdered wig.

The entire colonial world is already vibrating with tension.

Britain and the colonies are locked in that passive aggressive relationship phase where everyone says they're fine, but someone's about to flip a table.

The patriots are

furious over Parliament's power grabs, especially the whole taxation without representation thing.

And this tension sparked events like the Boston Massacre in 1770 and, of course, the famous Boston Tea Party in 1773.

So people were mad.

Tea was soggy.

Right.

Yeah, muskets are getting dusted off here.

Open warfare has not officially started, but the vibe is revolutionary.

Let's put it that way.

We're about to dive more specifically into Dunmore.

Any other any more color on this sort of time period you want to share just from your insight?

What do you love about it?

It's a real mixed bag.
