- Sic Semper Tyrannis - "Thus always to tyrants."

Hello everyone! This is a infantry regiment on the game 'War of Rights' ran by Colonel FlowBeatBox. Previously, our regiment has been under the aliases; '17th Alabama' (North & South mod for M&B Warband) and '17th Leicestershire' (Holdfast & M&B Warband: Napoleonic Wars). We have transfered to War of Rights for a new beginning, in an attempt to take on a new era and to leave dying communities.

Men of this unit were recruited in the city of Alexandria, counties of Arlington(Then called Alexandria County), Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William, and Warren.

After fighting at First Manassas in a brigade under James Longstreet, it was assigned to General Ewell's, A.P. Hill's, Kemper's, and Corse's Brigade.
