61 - The Second Continental Congress and the Declaration of Independence

Well, it’s 1776.  Things are about to happen.  We just had the Boston tea party, Patrick Henry’s speech, and the battles of Lexington and Concord, and the Battle of Bunker Hill.   The British have shelled and burned several colonial towns, including Falmouth, Massachusetts and Norfolk, Virginia.  These are their own colonies, and they have burned the towns.  The colonies are in open revolt against the British government.Website:  shortwalkthroughhistory.comemail:  [email protected]
