2025/09/05

How much do you know about the social class system in colonial America before the revolution? Although it might sound like a boring topic, it influenced how every event in the revolution unfolded. Don't worry though, this week isn't a lecture about social hierarchies. We can start exploring the topic by finding out more about Abigail Adams's husband, the man who really wanted to be a farmer against his father's wishes, the second president of the United States, John Adams. Key Players: John

How much do you really know about the Bill of Rights? Do you know why it was created? This week we're exploring what amendments we can find being violated long before they were ever written down.

Hancock Was More Than A Signature

Founded ·

2025/08/22

Have you ever heard about how John Hancock left such a big signature on the Declaration of Independence so that "King George would be able to read it without his glasses"? Do you believe it? If so, you might also believe that the Declaration of Independence was signed on the 4th of July, and if you believe that, you probably also think that the handwritten Declaration with all 56 signatures was the first copy of it. My point is that we're all taught a whole lot of things that plainly weren't true,

The American Duties Act

2025/08/08

Is it possible that a single act of parliament could have triggered an entire revolution? Well yes, in a way. Especially when that act was the American Duties Act and specifically impacted Samuel Adams (who made that act his personal problem). Today we’re talking about George Grenville and his rivalry with Lord Bute and how that somehow changed the world because of Samuel Adams and his rabble rousing tendencies. Is there a riot? No, but with good reason, that you'll find out next time (I

No Taxation Without Representation: The Beginning

Founded ·

2025/08/01

If you’ve never heard of Thomas Hutchinson and James Otis Jr; you probably should have. Hutchinson may have been a loyalist governor, but he’s as much of a main character as Samuel Adams was. While Samuel Adams isn’t a main character in today’s story, he does connect our main characters- enemy of Hutchinson, co-conspirator of Otis.And if you’ve only learned about early American history from Hamilton (no judgment AT ALL), Hutchinson is much like Burr, and Otis is more like Hamilton However, one of

Before George Washington became the Father of a country, he was just a person (he was still just a person after fathering a country) but in 1755, young Washington led his men straight into a massacre at Fort Necessity, and then saved some men from a massacre at the Battle of the Monongahela. The Battle of the Monongahela is best known as Braddock’s defeat, where Washington became a hero. While all of this was happening in Virginia a different story was playing out in Massachusetts Bay Colony at the
