Podcasts about John Dickinson

The man Congress chose to draft the United States' first constitution refused to vote for independence. John Dickinson wrote a bold plan, one with a strong central government, religious liberty protections that included women, and a question in the margins about whether Congress should abolish slavery. Congress stripped out nearly all of these ideas and provisions. What replaced it sparked a debate over federal vs. state power that has never gone away. This is the third episode in our How Independence Happened series. In Part 1, we explored Richard Henry Lee's Virginia Resolution of June 7, 1776. In Part 2, we examined the Model Treaty and how the new United States made foreign alliances. In this third part, we're joined by historians Jane Calvert and Jonathan Gienapp so we can investigate the Articles of Confederation, the third element of independence.

Declaring independence on July 2, 1776 was only the beginning. To actually become a nation, the United States needed something else: foreign allies, international recognition, and the credibility to negotiate as an equal among the world's great powers. Five days after Richard Henry Lee introduced his famous Virginia Resolution, the Continental Congress appointed a committee of five — John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Dickinson, Robert Morris, and Benjamin Harrison — to figure out how to achieve international recognition. The result was the Model Treaty: a document we almost never discuss today, but one that Adams considered his most important contribution to Congress and the nation. Historians Sara Georgini and Eliga Gould guide us through Adams's revolutionary blueprint for American foreign policy and how the founders understood that the United States would need to become a "treaty worthy" nation before France would take them seriously.

In celebration of America's 250th, we'd like to officially invite you to enjoy this special episode telling the tale of that audacious, terrifying, and formative step taken by the Second Continental Congress to declare Independence in the summer of 1776. Fought over bitterly on July 1st, voted on affirmatively on the 2nd, with the exact wording finalized on the 4th—I mean, how could we not resurface episode #8's account of this story for this week? If you're new here, you may not have listened to it—here's your chance. And if you've been listening for a while, take a step back with me and remember why we revere this document. This is the story of independence and crushed hope.Congress is finally declaring independence but it isn't a straightforward process. Delegates have different perspectives; John Adams and John Dickinson are taking the floor to argue passionately for and against it. The vote will come down to the wire.It's also time to bring the "$10" Founding Father into the story. That's right. We'll meet Alexander Hamilton, get the backstory of his rough childhood in the Caribbean, and see how he ends up in the Big Apple.Speaking of NYC, George Washington has chased Lord William Howe from Boston to Manhattan, but this is a very different battlefield. He's going to have a harder go here than he did in New England.

SONS of LIBERTY Radio with Bradlee Dean Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Hear Ye, Hear Ye: Public Judgment, Moral Crisis, and the Cost of Silence Public Abuse Allegations and Institutional Cover-Ups The episode opens with a prerecorded segment connecting the Penn State scandal and the Franklin cover-up through allegations of abuse, institutional silence, missing evidence, and the vulnerability of children served by charitable organizations. The segment presents these cases as examples of public trust being violated and argues that powerful individuals and institutions were protected while victims were left without justice. Historical Warnings and Biblical Government The program then moves into historical and religious quotations, including remarks attributed to Noah Webster, Thomas Jefferson, John Dickinson, Theodore Roosevelt, and other public figures. These segments frame the episode around the host's view that American civil government should be measured by biblical morality, constitutional limits, and public accountability rather than by the power of officials or institutions. Apathy, Entertainment, and Public Responsibility The host argues that Americans have become distracted by spectacle, entertainment, politics, and corporate influence while losing sight of liberty, justice, and civic vigilance. He compares modern public entertainment to historical forms of public spectacle and repeatedly warns that people who remain passive in a time of corruption help create the conditions for greater judgment, tyranny, and social disorder. Crime, Recidivism, and Judicial Failure A major theme of the episode is the host's claim that repeat offenders, weak courts, and delayed consequences are endangering the public. He presents recidivism statistics and multiple crime examples to argue that the justice system is failing victims, rewarding criminals, and generating money for institutional interests while neglecting what he describes as biblical justice and lawful consequence. Constitutional Rights and Corrupt Officials The episode also returns to constitutional government, especially the Second and Fourth Amendments, gun bans, confiscation concerns, and the responsibility of representatives to obey the Constitution. The host argues that citizens must not obey unconstitutional decrees and that public officials who violate constitutional limits should be lawfully removed rather than treated as rulers over the people. Religious Judgment, Political Influence, and Closing Appeal Near the end, the host discusses religious leaders, political figures, institutional deception, Freemasonry, intelligence influence, and the Epstein files as part of a broader argument that corruption survives because citizens and churches fail to bring lawful judgment. The closing appeal centers on the idea that people should not blame God for evil while refusing, in the host's view, to obey God's commandments and enforce justice. Franklin Coverup and Penn State Parallels The host opens the program by comparing the Franklin Coverup involving Larry King's alleged procurement of children from Boys Town for powerful figures and blackmail to the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State where the Second Mile charity was used to abuse boys with university officials covering it up. Suspicious Deaths and Investigations Details are given of investigator Gary Carradori's plane explosion that scattered child pornography evidence seized by the FBI and the mysterious disappearance of district attorney Ray Grecar whose computer showed searches on destroying hard drives both tied to attempts to expose the abuse rings. Biblical and Historical Foundations Quotations from Noah Webster Thomas Jefferson John Dickinson and other founders are presented to argue that Christian biblical principles form the basis of American liberty morality and civil government while neglecting Scripture leads to vice crime and oppression. Modern Moral Decay and Pride Culture The host condemns tolerance of pride parades transgender issues and normalization of child sexual abuse citing Romans 1 and Amos 6:1 as warnings that such tolerance hastens God's judgment on the nation while Christians remain apathetic at ease in Zion. Media Bias Crime Recidivism and Immigration Examples of unreported black-on-white crimes by repeat offenders with dozens of prior arrests are contrasted with media focus on white perpetrators while Somali gang involvement in a Minnesota shooting is said to be covered up and blamed on a white suspect illustrating selective reporting and failed justice. Conspiracy Controlled Opposition and Call to Justice Discussions range from Steven Spielberg's films attacking Christianity and CIA influence in Hollywood to Epstein files Netanyahu visits Zionist use of Muslims and Turning Point USA figures including Erica Kirk Candace Owens and Frank Turek portrayed as controlled opposition or heretics while urging listeners to stand for biblical justice against workers of iniquity.

Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence not by seniority, but because John Dickinson refused to support independence.

Richard Henry Lee is the Founding Father who made July 4th possible, yet most Americans barely know his name. Before the Declaration of Independence and Jefferson's immortal words, Lee forced the Second Continental Congress to choose independence. In this episode of America's Founding Series, part of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano marks the 250-year anniversary of the Lee Resolution, introduced on June 7, 1776, at the Pennsylvania State House. Discover how Richard Henry Lee moved the colonies from resistance to separation, why Congress was deeply fractured, and how June 7th set the stage for the Declaration of Independence, July 4th, and the birth of the United States. What You'll Learn: Why Richard Henry Lee deserves recognition as one of America's most important Founding Fathers  How the Lee Resolution made July 4th and the Declaration of Independence possible  Why June 7, 1776, forced the Second Continental Congress to finally choose independence  How the fierce debate between radicals and moderates like John Dickinson shaped the vote  The difference between July 2nd, the vote for independence, and July 4th, the adoption of the Declaration  What Lee's courage teaches Americans today about liberty, self-government, and constitutional responsibility  Richard Henry Lee did not write the Declaration of Independence, but he forced Congress to make the decision that required one. This forgotten moment in American Revolution history reminds every generation that liberty demands more than slogans. It requires courage, responsibility, and a people willing to govern themselves.

Mountain climbing was an unusual pastime in the 1920s. It was particularly unusual among women. But Agnes Vaille made a name for herself as a tough, formidable climber. Soon, she found herself setting records. In 1925, she and fellow climber Walter Kiener decided to make history as the first people to climb Longs Peak's east face in the wintertime. Their friends warned them against the dangerous climb. But Walter and Agnes couldn't be dissuaded.Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

Before the Declaration of Independence, before the Constitutional Convention, colonists were already debating the meaning of a constitution — and it didn't look anything like the document we know today. Dr. Zachary Deibel, assistant professor of history at the Virginia Military Institute, joins Dr. Katie Crawford Lackey at Montpelier to trace the constitutional ideas that shaped the American Revolution. Drawing on the writings of John Dickinson, the legacy of the Glorious Revolution, and the colonial charters that defined the relationship between the King and his American subjects, Deibel unpacks why the dispute with Britain wasn't simply about taxes — it was a fundamental disagreement over the meaning of liberty itself. He also explores a theme that resonates well beyond the 18th century: when two sides decide there is nothing left to learn from each other, that's when the shooting starts. This episode is supported in part by the Virginia Law Foundation.

“Unconditional submission” or “resistance by force.” Thomas Jefferson, John Dickinson, and the Second Continental Congress said those were their two terrible options less than 3 months after the battles of Lexington and Concord. Live on their knees or fight to the death. They chose the latter.

3. Joseph Ellis, *The Cause: The American Revolution and Its Discontents, 1773 to 1783*. This narrative explores the tension between conservative and radical leadership, featuring John Dickinson, whose "Letters from a Farmer" framed the colonial constitutional position even as he hesitated to cross the "abyss" into war. Conversely, John Adams viewed continued trust in George III as "delusional" and advocated for an immediate end to the British connection. The text also critiques the "myth of the militia," noting that while amateurs were formidable behind defenses at Bunker Hill, their costly "victory" misled many into believing virtuous amateurs could easily defeat professional soldiers, a delusion that persisted for years.
