A Second Chance
A Live look at America`s Origins Part 1
Previous ChapterNext Chapter(4 Days Later, Torian`s POV)
With Heat Season over, Me and my guy friends were glad no mares ventured out for us and decided to make the cave we hid out in our "Heat Bunker" whenever Heat Season arose. After we arrived in Ponyville and the mares were back out of their hormonal rampage for a stallion, We disbanded and headed back to our daily lives.
I was heading home when my friends, Minuette, Lyra, Vinyl, and The Princesses arrived to greet me.
"Hey Torian, how have ya been?" Applejack asked first.
"Quite well, except I had to skip town due to your hormones." I answered. The mares, except Celestia and Luna blushed in embarrassment as I then asked. "So What can I do for you all?"
"Well, since the last time we visited your world during Pearl Harbor, I was quite fascinated by your countrys technology and I began to wonder how all the events you went through, to be specific, your countrys beginning." Celestia explained.
"And with your knowledge of your world, We are hoping you could explain it to us." Luna completed.
I pondered through this, From my lessons from school, I only know as far as the settling of Jamestown, where America began its journey to become a superpower, but that means theyll have to see The American Revolution, Civil War, and all the other gross or horrific events, but if they can see Pearl Harbor with it`s explosions and mass casualties, I guess there is no harm in explaining the American History.
"Alright, who`s ready for some American History?" I asked and the ponies beamed with excitement, especially Lyra, since she was the crazed anthropologist she is, I guess she wanting to see more humans.
Celestia and Luna then casted the time travel spell, which had the same effects where we can`t alter the past and we were all practically invisible and since I can lead the ponies to certain times in history, I was given a little watch, where I can type in a date and it will send us to that year and day. With that in check, we began our American Adventure.
(Jamestown, Virginia 1606)
As the spell was completed, we arrived in America`s first birthday. The ponies looked at the landscape and saw no planes, people, or buildings and were confused.
"Hey, where are we?" Vinyl asked.
"But, It does have quite the beautiful landscape." Luna added
"Welcome to America in the year of 1606, America`s first birthday." I emphasized and spread my arms around the landscape. The ponies were still confused.
"But where are the planes and ships?" Twilight asked.
"And the humans?" Lyra included.
"Well, during this time, there were no planes since we weren`t that advanced here, but ships and humans are here. Follow me." I lead the ponies to the first settlement of America, Jamestown.

The ponies looked on this settlement and saw some of the old-fashioned wooden sailing vessels.
"Where are the steamships with large weapons?" Rainbow wondered.
"Again, Not that advanced so no Battleships and no steam power here, besides Jamestown was America`s first permanent settlement and thus began the American culture."
"This settlement looks like how Canterlot started out." Celestia pointed out.
"And the clothes these humans wore simply looked ragged." Rarity chimed in.
"But it gets better in the jump from the 1600s to the 1700s." I added and I took everypony up into the sky and sped up time. They were amazed by the growing colonies in the western area, The larger colonies like Boston, New York, Philadelphia became cities, creation of ports and the creation of the 13 colonies where the New England colonies began lumber and whaling, The Southern colonies began farming with cotton, and the Middle colonies took up agriculture of crops.
(Boston, Massachusetts, 1770)
As the 1700s rolled in, We ended up in Boston where most of the events leading up to the American Revolution take place. The ponies looked on to see the city port, the folks that live here and the British Redcoats.
"What are these men in red coats? Are they like some form of military?" Celestia asked.
"Yes, but not for us, but Britain. They sent soldiers here since we aren`t our own country and we are a part of the British territory." I explained as a commotion erupted nearby.
"What`s going on over there?" Twilight ran and the rest of us came across one of the horrible acts in Boston; 'The Boston Massacre'.

Gunfire went off, men were shouting as a few tried to remove the dead away. I shook my head solemnly in shame.
"What type of guns are those if you don`t have the machine guns?" Rainbow asked curiously
"Those are muskets, a long rifle with balls of lead for ammo, here it would take a while to reload these guns, so lines of troops would fire, fall back, reload and fire again." I explained and then gave Rainbow a look. "Jeez Rainbow, do you like guns this much?"
"Yeah, the action and the thrill of shooting feels awesome like drinking 10 barrels of cider!" She elaborated.
"Sure it feels awesome to shoot a weapon, but the thought of taking a life for those who may have a family isn`t, Rainbow." I said with remorse and remembering all the Japanese airmen I killed during my time in the war just to avenge my fallen squad at Santa Cruz. Then I thought of great moments of American history and knew where to go.
"This was known as the Boston Massacre and is one of the few events that spark our Revolution and Freedom to become a nation." I said as we looked onto the street fight. "But, I believe I should show you something that will change our history." I then typed in a date and were all transported to another moment in time.
(Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, 1773)
In the dark of night we all looked on 3 British tea ships docked in the harbor and the ponies were confused.
"So where are we now?" Minuette asked.
"We are still in Boston, but 3 years later, we Americans pulled a great act of protest to the British`s unfair taxes, Look here they go."
We all saw the men running towards the ships with Indian disguises on and boarded the ships and one by one, crates filled with tea were being dumped into the harbor as a crowd cheered them on. We liked to call this; 'The Boston Tea Party'.

"What are they doing?" Lyra asked.
"Those men arent Indians, but are the Sons of Liberty, a group who believed in Americas freedom are throwing British tea overboard." The ponies looked on this act of protest and were impressed with the nations way of determination for freedom. "But, this didnt go quietly as the British got upset and closed off Boston Harbor where no ship can leave or enter. They even blocked us off from moving out west of the Appalachian Mountains until the tea lost was paid for." As I showed the British`s naval blockade and troops marching along the mountain ranges.
"Wow, They sure know how to bring a punishment." Applejack shook her head.
"Yes, but that was our last straw and did something that would change everything." I typed in a new date onto the watch and we all were teleported to a new city.
(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1776)
We all appeared in a room with many men who represent the 13 colonies and looked over at a large piece of paper with alot of writing and each were moving up to sign it.
"Welcome to the date that will change America of 1776, The birth of the Declaration of Independence."
