Diamond Robin says,
My side is that the story takes place at vermont,in 2008. And the proof is this computers, coffie shops, stores,cell phones, and people can what ever they want. And about time the proof is in the objects you can get. nawspapers, calenders, the news, computers,wordrobe. So those are all my pieces of proof for Fever 1793 or in my case Fever 2008.
