It has taken almost five years for the UnitedStates of Europe to stabilize its position in 17th-century Europe. Now it turnsits attention to the New World, where the English have ceded their colonialclaims to France. There are vast lands and rich resources across theAtlantic for any nations powerful enough to rule and control them—andequal incentive for other nations to block theirpath.
The time-displaced Americansknow about the future path that led to their own United States in North America,in the other universe they came from. But do they want to repeat that history asit was? Yes, they had democracy—but they are helping to create that inEurope. And they have learned the bitter prices paid for chattel slavery and thenear-extermination of the nativepopulations.
Knowledge is power.Perhaps a new course can be taken. Accordingly, an expedition is sent to the NewWorld to see just what might be happening there and what might be done.They are armed with their technology, among which are a radio and an airship.More importantly, they are armed with the knowledge of future history and theirdetermination not to repeat the errors of theirpast.
