The Stamp Act Congress met in the Federal Hall building in New York City between October 7 and 25, 1765. It was the first colonial action against a British measure and was formed to protest the Stamp Act issued by British Parliament on March 1765.

The Seven Years' War, also known as the French and Indian War in the colonies, lasted from 1756 to 1763, forming a chapter in the imperial struggle between Britain and France.  Both were doing all they could to gain control of the Ohio Valley and add to their respective empire.

In the early 1750s, France’s expansion into the Ohio River valley repeatedly brought with it conflict in the British colonies, especially Virginia. In 1754, the French built Fort Duquesne where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers joined to form the Ohio River (in today’s Pittsburgh), making it a strategically important stronghold that the British repeatedly attacked.

We discuss how George Washington and his party started the war, how he faired during his first military experience, and how he regained some momentum during a slaughter at Braddock's defeat and provide an overall summation of the war, the people involved, and the aftermath it left.

Overview of the People and Land of England

Today we discuss what it was like living in England during the 1700’s and during the colonization.  Last week we did this with the 13 colonies and  having a solid foundation and concept of both countries' moods, positions, attitudes, political climate, living conditions and more allows us to have a glimpse into what it was like back then.  It also helps us comprehend what was going on in their minds and why things progressed in the manner it did.

Hello Patriots!

We are a little ways before we get into the war, and many people living in the time would separate the actual fighting in the war and the revolution, considering each of them separate events.   It’s important to have the background of the people who came to colonize North America, what it was like back then, who lived in these colonies, and get a real sense of the people and who they were.

Learn who and why people risked so much to come to the 13 colonies, what would soon become the United States of America.

When you think of the American Revolution, what comes to mind?  The war, George Washington, Redcoats and maybe even the Boston Tea Party and Declaration of Independence perhaps.  These are all part of it but it is far more complex and super interesting and important.  It’s more than just famous names and documents and battles, and in more ways than not, the American Revolution wasn’t just a war. If you went back to the period of the Revolution and you asked people their perspective, many of them would tell you that the war, the actual fighting, was only a minor part of the American Revolution. 

We of course will be covering the famous and well known people, documents, and battles, but also there are many that aren’t known so those will be delved into.  There are so many nuggets in our country’s founding, such as letters from soldiers and founding fathers, how many times and just how close we were to not winning independence from England, what George Washington really felt about slavery and the list goes on and on.

You will  learn many things in a much different way than what was, or is currently, taught in schools.  We will discuss sensitive topics such as God, slavery, free-speech and several other topics that aren’t discussed often as it might ruffle feathers or not be politically correct.  

If you are looking for a simplistic and watered downed version of everything that helped form the best country in the world, this podcast is not for you.  Our founding is an exciting and truly amazing journey, one that needs to be shared with all Americans and we hope you come alongside us during it.
