Alex Newman - Providence, the Great Awakening, and the Real Story of 1776

We are delighted to welcome back Alex Newman to discuss the 250th anniversary of American independence and the principles set out in the Declaration of Independence.  He explains the historical sources of those principles, including earlier English legal traditions and biblical ideas about equality, rights, and the proper role of government.  Alex addresses the current level of public knowledge about these events, particularly among students, and the influence of government schools, media, and museums on historical understanding.  The conversation also covers recent political developments, including congressional funding decisions and divisions within the Republican coalition.  Additional topics include the Great Awakening, the concept of providence in the founding era, and the connections between early colonial settlements and later developments in American governance. Alex Newman is a journalist, author, and speaker who writes and comments on American history, education, and the principles set out in the nation’s founding documents. He is the founder of Liberty Sentinel and has written extensively on the historical and legal roots of the United States, including their connections to earlier English and biblical traditions.  Follow and support Alex at the links below The Sentinel Report TV show: https://frankspeech.com/shows/sentinel-report-tv-show-alex-newman Liberty Sentinel: https://libertysentinel.org/ GETTR: https://gettr.com/user/AlexNewman Twitter: https://twitter.com/ALEXNEWMAN_JOU?s=20&t=evt_r4vYv-FbhWUa2yqkxA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexjnewman86 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-newman-9109845/   Connect with Hearts of Oak. . .
