Podcasts about american independence

Two hundred fifty years ago, in May 1775, delegates from thirteen British North American colonies gathered in Philadelphia for the Second Continental Congress.  Why was Philadelphia chosen as the seat of Congress? What made the city a critical hub for revolutionary ideas, commerce, and culture? And how has Philadelphia's early history shaped the broader narrative of American Independence?  Paul Kahan, a historian of American political, economic, and urban history, joins us to explore Philadelphia's early American history with details from his book. Philadelphia: A Narrative History, the first comprehensive history book about Philadelphia in over 40 years.

When considering the absurdity of the ‘Weekend At Bernie's' Biden presidency and the ‘WWE Reality Wrestling' Trump presidency you are left wondering ‘how possibly can real people actually fall for this garbage?'When will enough citizens wake up and realize that modern day elections deliver no real change in the machinery of governance and only result in more consolidated power and wealth for the political and oligarchs elites?Meanwhile, average citizens remain poorer, sicker, divided and demoralized.Every so often I get out into the real world and realize just how radical it is to be solidly independent and equally critical of the two political parties in America.When I talk to regular people from all walks of life I realize how entrenched we are in the factional system while simultaneously hating it and peripherally aware that it's a corrupted one, delivering a false paradigm of ‘good' versus ‘evil' depending on what news media outlets you listen to or watch. Their instincts are RIGHT and supported by our founding fathers, including George Washington who stated this in his farewell address:"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion." ~ George Washington, September 17, 1776When will America shed the factions?Is it even possible?We discuss this and more today!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ represents a pivotal moment that transformed both history and our personal relationship with God. When Jesus calls us by name, our sorrows are silenced, our standing secure, and our stories forever shaped by His triumph over the grave.• Some days change the world – Gutenberg's printing press (1440), American Independence (1776), Pearl Harbor (1941), 9/11 (2001)• Other days change our personal world – weddings, births, hard news• Mary Magdalene stood between two world-changing days – Jesus' crucifixion and His unexpected resurrection• The resurrection silences our sorrow – when Jesus simply spoke Mary's name, her weeping turned to joy• Our sorrows have an expiration date because of the resurrection (Revelation 21:4)• The resurrection secures our standing – Jesus now calls disciples "brothers" and speaks of "my Father and your Father"• In John's Gospel, Jesus mentions "Father" 120 times, but only after resurrection does He say "your Father"• The resurrection shapes our story – Mary's testimony became simply "I have seen the Lord"• All believers share this core testimony regardless of how they came to faith• We are resurrection people not just on Easter but every dayIf you don't yet have this story as your own, today can be the day the resurrection changes everything for you. Come talk to a pastor about how you can know Jesus personally.

In this episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy and Kelley Brown, a Massachusetts U.S. history and civics teacher, interview Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Prof. Gordon Wood. Prof. Wood explores the pivotal events and ideas that sparked the American Revolution. He discusses the political tensions of 1775, King George III's imperial policies, and the colonists' transformation from subjects to citizens. Wood highlights Benjamin Franklin's rise, James Otis's speech against the writs of assistance, and George Washington's crucial military leadership. He also reflects on overlooked Revolutionary era patriots like Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, and George Mason, the role of Minutemen, and how Lexington and Concord galvanized the colonies towards American Independence.

We are coming up on the 250th Anniversary of Lexington and Concord, the battle that began the War for American Independence. This was the start a new nation, but it didn't happen overnight.

Hector St. John de Crevecouer, a French immigrant to American wrote this classic essay, “What, Then, is this New Man, the American?” in 1782, as American Independence from Britain loomed.  Was he correct in his descriptions of Americans then?  Do his descriptions accurately describe Americans today?  How was he wrong then, if he was, and … Continue reading One of the Great Essays in American History: Crevecoeur's “What, Then, is this New Man, the American? →

Fourth of July, American Independence, are we really free?  Where does our allegiance lie?   Our founding father, Benjamin Franklin said “I am making a Republic if you can keep it!” Our founding fathers saw the danger of making a Democracy that could lead to a “mob rules” mentality. So they created our Republic. We The People, The heart of the Rebellion The US Constitution starts with these famous words. Meaning “Whatever the people want is what they get!” It's all about their will. The people know best.  Where's God In the Constitution is their little room for one true God.  There is lot of room for your “little g” gods.  Worship what every god you want, purse what makes you happy.  Can we be surprised? Many people in the US have not learned their own history well enough to understand how we truly begin.  The United States has a mixed history. Some of the groups that came here were truly for religious reasons. Such as the Pilgrims. These groups were mixed in with the other groups here to make money. It is a mixed bag of religious refuge's mixed with people trying to worship God with freedom. The United States Written law gave into the desires of the flesh. Letting the people do whatever makes them happy.  Making ourselves “little g” gods as well. Bible What does the bible say about this? Jeremiah 17:9  (KJV) 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? The LAW The real law that we should be concerned by. Psalm 1:1-3 (KJV) 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The Bible tells us to: DON'T FOLLOW YOUR HEART! Follow Yahuah laws! His ways are not our ways.  Rebellion Not following His way is rebellion. We have been doing what we want, what makes us happy and what makes us feel good since our inception.  www.sabbathlounge.com Find us on iTunes, Spotify, TikTok, and Podbean.

Reflecting on Independence Day, Tim Hoover and Steve Mittman discuss the true meaning of freedom and independence in the United States. They highlight the courage of the Founding Fathers and the sacrifices made throughout history to secure the freedoms enjoyed today. Emphasizing the importance of self-reliance and moral principles, they explore how Independence Day extends beyond celebrations to embody a deeper sense of patriotism and gratitude.

In this special 100th episode of Along The Way Life's Journey, I reflect on the significance of the 4th of July as the United States celebrates its 248th birthday. I also discuss the foundations of American freedom outlined in the Declaration of Independence, the differences between a democracy and a democratic republic, and the importance of preserving the Constitution. I encourage YOU, the American people, to vote this November and protect your rights. Lastly, I'd like to give a special shout-out to our veterans for their contributions to preserving our freedom!   Connect with Carl: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/toeverypageaturning/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CarlBuccellatoAuthor LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carl-buccellato-60234139 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVB3YH1iQxK4IL4ya5j4-Jg Website: https://toeverypageaturning.com   Produced by: https://socialchameleon.us      

It's the fourth of July today which means celebrations will be kicking off all across the US!Anton is joined by Sinead Conlon, a Mayo woman living in NYC and Patti Shields,Chairperson of Democrats Abroad to discuss what it means to witness it and celebrate it when away from home.

John J. Miller is joined by Adam Carrington of Hillsdale College to discuss the Declaration of Independence.

On July 4th, we celebrate American Independence. But, as Ben argues in his new intro to this episode, the real gift of the founding generation was more than that: it's the inheritance of the revolution.   George Washington is one of the most revered figures in American history. As Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, Washington led his troops to one of the most unlikely and world-shaking victories in modern history, and his selection as President of both the Constitutional Convention and the new government designed that summer in Philadelphia, demonstrate the unmatched faith that the founders had in General Washington. Today, however, we tend to remember Washington more for the jobs he held than for the personal qualities that made him a remarkable member of the founding generation, but the wisdom left to us by our first President in his farewell address is perhaps more relevant today than ever before. In this episode of The Road to Now we explain why in our discussion with Daily Beast editor-in-chief John Avlon about his book Washington's Farewell: The Founding Father's Warning to Future Generations.    Our conversation with John Avlon originally aired as RTN #48 which originally aired on March 13, 2017. This episode includes an updated intro reflecting on the American Revolution by Ben Sawyer, recorded July 1, 2024. This episode was edited by Ben Sawyer.

The yearly anniversary of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776, has become a festive national holiday with food, music, and fireworks, celebrated by millions of Americans of all ages and backgrounds, in every part of the United States. It's a good time to revisit the roots of Ambient Americana—influences from American folk songs, blues, jazz, and country, classics from the American songbook, and the pan-diatonic harmonies of AARON COPLAND. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE we celebrate the spirit of American Independence, on a program called AMERICAN HORIZON. Music is by BRIAN KEANE, MARK ISHAM, JEFF OSTER & VIN DOWNES & TOM EATON, SPENCER BREWER & PAUL McCANDLESS, GEORGE WINSTON, CHAD LAWSON, BARRY STRAMP, JOHN WILLIAMS, ("Ambient country" band) SUSS, CHUCK JOHNSON, and MARK PRESTON.

Confronting the stark realities of our times, I, Tony Arterburn, take you through a journey within the murky waters of global shifts in power and the looming threat of economic turmoil. As we peel back the curtains on the Great Reset and its potential to upend American sovereignty, we won't shy away from the hard questions: Why is the U.S. foreign policy playing a dangerous game with Taiwan and Ukraine, and what do these chess moves mean for the dollar's future? We unravel the enigmatic world of global banking and intelligence, probing into the World Economic Forum's sway over our political puppet masters, and dissecting the illusion of choice presented by our two-party system.This episode isn't just a theoretical debate; it's a call to arms for the discerning citizen. I dissect the staggering pace at which the U.S. national debt climbs and ponder the profound impact of our foreign policy decisions, especially those that seem disconnected from the nation's true interests. With a rallying cry for financial systems grounded in free markets rather than central bank digital currencies, we explore pivotal moments in history that shaped today's economic landscape, challenging listeners to critically assess the balance between free trade and national self-sufficiency. And with a respectful nod to Gard Goldsmith and the vital insights from the latest Arterburn Radio Transmission, we trek through the paradox of U.S. military aid to nations like Israel, questioning the principles guiding our international alliances.Moreover, we tackle the contentious issues surrounding war and the use of nuclear weapons, recognizing the grave implications far beyond rhetorical patriotism and political posturing. I share my personal journey as a veteran and my spiritual awakening that led me to question the very fabric of interventionist foreign policies. Reflecting on the experiences that have shaped my non-interventionist stance, we examine the nuclear capabilities that harken back to Cold War tensions and the urgent need for a global reassessment of the role of conflict in our shared future. Join me for an episode that promises to be a sobering reflection on the state of our world.

This week, Mark can't help but take note of an AMAZING 'confluence of events,' both currently, and in history: April the 19th, the Real "Patriot's Day," was the date in 1775 of the "shot heard 'round the world," and Lexington and Concord Green, that began the War for American Independence, and marking one of the major turning points FOR liberty and against Tyranny in history. And yet the very same date just over two centuries later, was also a major turning point - TWICE! - in the other direction. And this weekend marks the time of Pesach (Passover) as well, and seems to represent a 'cusp' or climax, in so many other ways. If nothing else, it's a time to be paying close attention!

Birthplace of American Independence--Ipswich, Massachusetts?  In 1687, when King James II tried to take away the power of people in Massachusetts towns to govern themselves, Reverend John Wise of Ipswich lead the town into resistance--leading to his arrest, and the arrest of town leaders.  But they stood together--and in an unrelated development, Parliament sent King James packing off to France.  When Parliament in the 1760s again tried to assert control, Ipswich stood together, and reminded other Massachusetts patriots of the writings of John Wise.  We talk with Gordon Harris, town historian and organizer of the Historic Ipswich website, about the town of Ipswich, the Ipswich Resolves of 1774, and why this small town had such a big impact on the Revolution. 

86 years and a day before the "shot heard 'round the world" - the people of Boston and surrounding towns rose up and overthrew the royal governor in a dispute that started over tax resistance to arbitrary power. The post Tax Resistance and the Birth of American Independence first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

Join Emerging Revolutionary War as we chat with historian and author Patrick O'Kelley about the brutal civil war that broke out in North Carolina in 1781. Whigs (commonly known as Patriots, supporting American Independence) and Tories (supporting loyalty to Great Britain) fought a brutal and bloody war against each other in eastern/central North Carolina called "The Tory War." Maj. Gen. Nathanael Greene, wrote that the war in the Carolinas ‘Nothing but blood and slaughter has prevailed among the Whigs and Tories, and their inveteracy against each other must, if it continues, depopulate this part of the country.' Patrick O'Kelley has authored numerous books on the American Revolution, including his four-volume all-encompassing series on South Carolina in the American Revolution titled "Nothing But Blood and Slaughter: The Revolutionary War in the Carolinas" and "“Be Cool and Do Mischief: Francis Marion's Orderly Book.”

A speech made by Professor Anthony Sutton in the early 1980s.   Antony C. Sutton was a research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and an economics professor at California State University, Los Angeles. He was the author of 21 books, including Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler. The Skull and Bones Chapter 322 is behind the evil in this world and represent Satan and his minions. Antony Sutton was given boxes of documents from a Skull and Bones member after they died. He has everything and made it public so people would understand this evil. He gave his life for this. He died a hero. Please visit our website www.campconstitution.net

Examining identity and nationalism in the Reconstruction-era South, Jack Noe's Contesting Commemoration: The 1876 Centennial, Independence Day, and the Reconstruction-Era South (Louisiana State University Press, 2021) investigates debates concerning the One Hundredth Anniversary of American Independence. This commemoration, which came only seven years after the conclusion of the Civil War, provided a crucible for whites, Blacks, northerners, and southerners to reflect on their identity as Americans and their memories of the recent conflict. Using a rich archive, including a variety of newspapers, Contesting Commemoration illustrates how the Centennial became embroiled in the fierce political and racial debates of Reconstruction. African Americans celebrated this opportunity to assert their Americanness, while White Southerners approached the celebration with a profound pragmatism and flexibility, only partially re-embracing American nationalism as they attempted to maintain Southern distinctiveness. Contesting Commemoration follows events in Philadelphia, where ten million visitors came to celebrate the Centennial, and in communities across the South. It is a searching interrogation of the powers of American memory, the bitter debates of Reconstruction, and continued contestations over Southern distinctiveness. Jack Noe is a Teaching Fellow at Queen Mary, University of London and also lectures at Durham University. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, but a long-time resident of the United Kingdom, he earned his PhD from the University of Leeds in 2018. Thomas Cryer is a PhD Student in American History at University College London, where he studies race, nationhood, and memory through the life, scholarship, and activism of the historian John Hope Franklin.

In ancient times, debtors were treated with severe punishment, even sometimes being dismembered. So when did things start to shift towards debt forgiveness leading up to the modern-day concept of filing for bankruptcy?David Skeel is the S. Samuel Arsht Professor of Corporate Law at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. He's the author of several books that look at the history of corporate law, debt, and bankruptcy, including Icarus in the Boardroom: The Fundamental Flaws in Corporate America and Where They Came From and Debt's Dominion: A History of Bankruptcy Law in America. He and Greg discuss the origins of debt forgiveness in the world, how Christianity and the Bible played a role in that shift, and the proper amount of risk corporate leaders should take. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:A biblical perspective on debt and bankruptcy17:40:  There's a verse in the Old Testament that says you cannot take as collateral a debtor's millstone. And the idea there is that is the tool of the trade. There's another verse that says if you take the debtor's cloak as collateral, you've got to give it back at the end of the day. The idea being that the debtor's going to need that to keep warm. Even going back thousands of years, a sense that there needs to be a balancing. You need to make it possible for creditors to get repaid, but you also need to be aware of the humanity of the debtor and the needs of the debtor.Debt is like sex and fire09:28: Debt is like sex and fire; both of them were important in the ancient world and are important now, but they also have some dangerous downsides if they're misused. And that's the picture you get of debt: that people need debt is inevitable, but it's easy for people to get in over their heads, and there needs to be a way to deal with that possibility.How do you respond to risk-taking?29:43: One simple response to the risk-taking concern is to be mindful of regulations that create bad incentives in that respect, such as tax rules. And also, things like disclosure can make a difference.Sometimes lots of failures is an indication of a good economy or a good system, not a bad one23:32: There is empirical evidence that shows that in countries where you have a more generous bankruptcy system and more generous availability of a fresh start, you do get more entrepreneurship. There is a direct relationship between the two, but risk-taking can sometimes be problematic.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Republic of Debtors: Bankruptcy in the Age of American Independence by Bruce MannThomas H.

Jeremy Land's book Colonial Ports, Global Trade, and the Roots of the American Revolution (1700-1776) (Brill, 2023) takes a long-run view of the global maritime trade of Boston, New York, and Philadelphia from 1700 to American Independence in 1776. Land argues that the three cities developed large, global networks of maritime commerce and exchange that created tension between merchants and the British Empire which sought to enforce mercantilist policies to constrain American trade to within the British Empire. Colonial merchants created and then expanded their mercantile networks well beyond the confines of the British Empire. This trans-imperial trade (often considered smuggling by British authorities) formed the roots of what became known as the American Revolution.

Tadeusz Kościuszko was 30 years old when he emigrated to America to join the cause in support of American Independence.  The recommendation he carried from Benjamin Franklin and other friends in France earned him a Colonel's commission, and his engineering skills were especially useful as  Kościuszko designed the fortifications along the Hudson River, most notably, West Point.  After the War, he was active in trying to establish a free Poland, and trying to eradicate slavery in America.  We talk with Kiersten Marcil, author of a series of time-travel novels about the Revolution, including  Witness to the Revolution.

In this episode Ben Zeigler and Stephen Motte from the Florence County Museum in Florence, SC, talk with us about the legend of Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion. The current exhibition at the museum, Legend: Francis Marion in the Pee Dee, examines the early decades of American Independence, when poets and painters turned General Francis Marion into a mythical figure; part fact, part folk legend. Those efforts were so effective that the cultural impact of their words and images lingers today.
