FEBRUARY 11, 1801 —
This shall be my final entry in this journal. With a noble zeal the representatives of the six colonies at this esteemed Convention this morning agreed upon the provisions for the declaration we shall unveil today. Throughout this journal I have kept a list of personal grievances against His Majesty during my time in the Valeria Militia. It pains me utterly to sign a declaration with such harsh words directed at the King, for merely a decade prior to today, I held him in very high regard. But my experiences as the Colonel of the Valeria Regiment and Commander in Chief of all forces now raised in the defence of His Majesty's Colony have brought me to the sorrowful conclusion that the King of Belfras cannot be our ruler anymore.
The King and Parliament have ignored our petitions, so we in the Convention have decided to formally issue a Declaration of Independence. No longer are we to be Colonies of the Belfrasian Kingdom. We are, once our Declaration is unveiled, the six States of the United Republic of Emmeria.
Battles have already begun between the Militia forces of the States and the Belfrasian Army. I received word from Colonel Forge in Chaleur that his men were attacked by members of the King's army. More blood is spilt every day. I have seen small clashes with my own eyes over the previous decade. Many friends of mine in the Southern Colonies have written to me telling of the horrible brutality of the Belfrasian soldiers there, and it seems a revolt had begun there by 1799. Many of us in the North speculate the Southern Colonies may seek independence as well, as their revolts have been more brutal than ours.
The Western States succeeded in 1755, but we are up against much more. Belfras is the most powerful country in the world, more than other colonial empires like Ulthrannia. They have brutally suppressed every source of rebellion they could find. We believe the Westerners may help us, and the Ulthrannians, as dishonourable as they may be, because they, too, want to see the Belfrasian Empire on this continent fall. And yet, my concern for the success of our cause remains. I am afraid.
May God help us, and may our great revolution succeed.
