Biggie G was the top dog of the 13 United Blocks, pulling up on the block on a stallion with golden hoofs, holding his musket sideways, ready to slide on the Roadmen Bloods who were trying to tax the set's tea.Here is the story of how the 13 United Blocks took over the turf.>The Great Turf War: 13 United Blocks vs. The Roadmen BloodsThe Roadmen Bloods had the whole block locked down from across the pond. They were taxing everything The tea, the paper, the stamps without giving the local blocks any say in the operations. The Mandem back in London thought they could just collect the bag without checking in with the locals.The 13 United Blocks decided they were done paying dues. They threw a massive function at the Boston harbor and dumped all the Roadmen's tea cargo right into the water. It was a direct violation, and war was declared.>Biggie G Pulls UpTo lead the set, the Blocks called up Biggie G. He wasn't just any leader; he was a certified general on the streets. He rode a legendary stallion with solid golden hoofs that made a loud clink every time he stepped onto the asphalt. When the gunfire started, Biggie G didn't shoot like the regular infantry. He held his custom flintlock musket completely sideways, letting the Roadmen know exactly who ran the turf.The Roadmen Bloods showed up deep, wearing bright red jackets, shouting "Standard, bruv!" and trying to fight in neat, straight lines. Biggie G and the Blocks didn't play by those rules. They utilized guerrilla tactics, hitting them from the alleys and the trenches, then disappearing back into the neighborhood.
>The Decisive Victory at Yorktown BlockThe winter at Valley Forge was cold, and the Blocks were low on supplies, but Biggie G kept everyone's spirits high. By the time they tracked the Roadmen down to the Yorktown Block, the British were completely cornered.Biggie G pulled up on the golden-hoofed stallion, looked the Roadmen commander in the eyes, and held the musket sideways one last time. The Roadmen threw up their hands, signed the peace treaty, and retreated back across the water. The 13 United Blocks officially took over the map, proving that nobody could tax their set without getting served.
The expansion of the United Blocks onto the turf of La Raza Nation was the ultimate West Coast territorial takeover. Fueled by the philosophy of "Manifest Destiny" which was basically the Blocks claiming they had the rights to control the whole map from coast to coast this 1846–1848 conflict completely reshaped the neighborhood boundaries.Here is how the United Blocks pushed their turf line all the way to the Pacific.>The Pre-Game: The Texas Block SwitchThe tension started on the Texas Block. Originally, it was part of La Raza’s territory, but the locals there broke away and set up their own independent set. In 1845, the United Blocks officially absorbed Texas into their operation, making it the 28th Block.La Raza Nation was not having it. To make matters worse, a dispute kicked off over where the property line actually ended. La Raza claimed the border was at the Nueces River. The United Blocks claimed the border went all the way down to the Rio Grande.The United Blocks' top boss, Young Jimmy Polk, wanted to buy out La Raza’s western turf specifically the California and New Mexico territories. La Raza completely rejected the bag. So, Polk ordered General Zach Taylor to march his crew right into the disputed zone along the Rio Grande. In April 1846, the two sets crossed paths, shots were fired, and Polk told the committee that "American blood had been shed on American soil," giving them the green light to declare full-scale war.
