Meeting with the Guard & setting up the Mine.

"S-Sir, whatever do you mean?" a guard muttered out. Clearly they did not know of my intentions."Recently, the British government has shown less and less interest in the well being of her people and has shifted to suiting a corrupt King who pretends to be the best of the best. People have bled for his every desire... I wish to see him to feel some of the pain that has been wrought apon him... even if it were just a drop of blood..." to say that the guards were surprised would be a rabid understatement. the Collins have been Avid supporters of the crown, It was almost unheard of to think that one of them would wish the king harm. Soon, a guard called out " But sir, this is treason! you cannot expect us to put our families in danger!".

Frederick Chuckled. "Yes, I know that. as of this moment, we could never even comprehend attacking the British. but... Revolution is in the air. As of right now, the date is 1770, January 13. I can safely say that within the next 5 years... Revolution will break out in the America's. and the British hold over it will waver." the Guards looked at Frederick with some sort of Anxiety. Treason was punishable by death, and they knew this all too well. "Do you want your families to live a life where a mad tyrant could kill them with the flick of a finger, or would you want Economic freedom? If you join me in this, I promise each of you 1 acres or more when Revolution finally breaks out. if you do not wish to partake, i will not push you too, but if i hear any... rumors, i will kill you. now, am i understood?" the guards shook their heads yes. most of them came from Boston, where things were the worst. but of course, they all suffered to one thing... THE TEA WAS OVERPRICED. this is what pushed them the most.

"good. Now, let us enjoy this meal, as God, along with the cooks have blessed us with this food." soon, all of the guards, along with Frederick began to eat their breakfast. Once the guards had their fill, they soon excused themselves to complete their guard duties. After all of the guards had left, Frederick wiped his mouth with the napkin before standing up and walking out of the room and headed straight for the front door, where all of the Slaves the Collins family had gathered. Almost as soon as he stepped out of the Manor, all went quite. Most wondered why he would summon them, lowly slaves. about three forths were born slaves, so to them, why would someone such as himself wish to ever speak to them? "I... understand that many of you are confused as to why i have summoned you here." he began, as the slaves looked on some eager, while the rest were fearing of what he would say. " My father...and I in some cases has given you the most unbearable conditions to live in. some of you do not have clothes to wear. So, starting today, I will supply you all with clothing." To say the Slaves were happy would be an understatement. At this time, most slaves would only get one set of clothes, and would never get new clothes, to them, this was a blessing. " I also will be giving you an Opportunity... Not far from here, a Cliff sits. I wish to start a Mine in that Area. but in doing that, I would need your Support. So... I need the strongest of you to follow me. in the meantime, My butler will take your measurements for some work clothing. Once I return, The men who followed me shall get their measurements, now follow me, gentlemen." Soon after he had left with 35 or so men, the men, women, and child started to crowd the poor butler, who tried his best to get the measurements of everyone who came near him. Meanwhile, with Frederick, Frederick lead the Slaves to the cliffside, but along the way, one spoke up. "So sir, what are we going to do here?"

Frederick looked at him with a slight smile " we are going to look for a good spot to start a mine, Then, you will return in the morning to start on it." one of the taller, more buff slaves walked over to Frederick, he stood at easily six foot seven, had the muscles of a bull and a head so bald you could be blinded by it. " And what's keeping us here, what's stopping us from killing you and running of? your not strong, nor do you seem smart by having us follow you unguarded, what's your game?" Frederick Chuckled, this man was smart, and that brought a smile to his face. " There are many reasons. The first of course would be that if you were... you would all be hanged by the redcoats, another reason... is the fact that if you do as I say for just a few more years... I will Free every single one of you, and give you some land." this made the Tall Slave chuckle. " You expected one of us to try, didn't you?". Frederick smiled, before extending his hand " what's your name?" the slave took his hand, and shook it with an iron grip " Ade, Former Chieftain of my tribe before slavers came around." Frederick nodded "I am sorry. Hopefully, when I give your freedom you could return to your tribe. but for now... I want you to command this operation. all the men that will work here will be under your command." Ade Chuckled " I thank you... Originally i thought ill of you, but you are quite clever, aren't you?" Frederick nodded, before shortly making his leave, it was time to start work on what shall bolster his revolution. The Steam Engine.
