the DLC is set in an alternative reality where after america gains it's independance, george washington takes advantage of the power he has and becomes king of america, and an evil king to boot. as Connor you must work to take back america's freedom once again from the oppressive king of america. FOX news is going to have a field day.

this DLC is episodic and will come out in three separate downloads.
i honestly think this is bizarrely awesome and at this point is a must buy for me. bold move ubisoft, bold move.

I understand that it's an alternate reality, but it completely goes against what Washington stood for. I would have preferred if someone else maybe killed Washington and took power.[/quote]I agreed with this sentiment until Garland pointed out that his corruption is probably due to a Piece of Eden, rather than just his own character (which history already proves to be fairly scrupulous).[/quote]I still would prefer if someone else was corrupted by the apple and killed Washington to become ruler. I have mixed feelings about this.[/quote] Before anything was even known about AC3, it was canonically established that Washington was in possession of an Apple. Not trying to discredit your opinion, but it's just an interesting piece of information that makes sense within the DLC's canon (or lack thereof).
