When America's Father Nearly Fell Before the Nation Was Born
What if George Washington had been assassinated before the Declaration of Independence was signed? Picture thousands of Continental soldiers gathering in a field outside New York City on June 28, 1776, watching one of their own-a member of Washington's elite bodyguard-mount the gallows. Thomas Hickey's execution wasn't just punishment for betrayal. It was a warning shot in America's first counterintelligence operation, a shadow war most history books forgot. Just days before America declared independence, a conspiracy reached into Washington's inner circle, threatening to kill the revolution before it could take its first breath. This wasn't a footnote-it was nearly the final chapter.
