Today, 250 years ago in 1774, a group of delegates gathered from the 13 British colonies on the American continent and held a Congress. Today we call it the 1st Continental Congress, and it was a momentous step that transformed a group of dissatisfied British colonies into a revolutionary movement that forged our nation. It is often glossed over in the extraordinary events and war that created America, and we want to take the next few minutes to give it the proper spotlight it deserves. To help us do that, Thomas Sheppard from the Marine Corps University Command and Staff College joins the show.
