Podcasts about Richard Henry Lee

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.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – Two Virginia founders, Richard Henry Lee and Benjamin Harrison, stand on opposite sides of the independence debate before both sign the Declaration of Independence. Their story reveals clashing strategies, deep family legacies, and the difficult path from hopes of reconciliation to a shared commitment to American liberty and self-government together...

Gen. George Washington returned to New York City from a visit to Philadelphia to consult with the Continental Congress. On June 7, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia introduced a resolution to Congress: "Resolved, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved." Concerned about the strength of Loyalist sentiment, the provincial congress in New York advised its delegates in Philadelphia to abstain from voting on the resolution, which was tabled until July 2. On June 28, a five-man drafting committee in Philadelphia asked Thomas Jefferson to present the Declaration of Independence for debate. It was read aloud and tabled. On June 30, British Maj. Gen. William Howe and his 9,000 troops began disembarking on Staten Island. The case against Fanny Hay, 8, accused of stealing a breast pin from Mrs. Butterfass, was dismissed by Justice Coe because he felt the girl did not understand the nature of an oath. The Cold Spring Recorder's editor called it "a sad commentary on our Christian institutions that this child did not know how to read, was ignorant of the sin of and the penalty for lying or stealing; had not been taught that there was any future state, that she had an immortal soul; or that there was a Supreme Ruler, the source of all things and the judge of mankind!" A new street near the depot, Railroad Avenue, was completed; Stone Street was furnished with a paved gutter on its west side; and a "great improvement" was made to Kemble Avenue on the slope south of the Rock Street corner. The Recorder editor noted complaints about a Putnam Valley man who, once or twice a week, left his team of horses in the heat near the post office for hours without food or drink. James Finnin of Garden Street was working in the boiler shop at the West Point Foundry when a piece of steel from his hammer pierced an artery in his left wrist. The bleeding was stopped with difficulty by compression with a handkerchief. Assisted by a comrade, Finnin walked to Dr. Murdock's office on Fair Street. A company of Republicans visited Philipstown on a Saturday night to congratulate Rep. William Wheeler, who had been nominated to be the vice-presidential candidate alongside Rutherford Hayes in the 1876 election. Wheeler was staying with his brother-in-law, Henry Belcher, at Garrison's Landing. About 11 p.m. on a Saturday, an intoxicated laborer, said to be employed at the Garrison quarry, stumbled down Main Street. He was warned that the dock was unlit and dangerous, but several bystanders soon heard the splash. Jerry Delany jumped in after him, and a boat was rowed to the rescue. Because the cadets would be in Philadelphia for the Fourth of July centennial, the West Point fireworks were shot off on a Wednesday night in mid-June. Soon after 1 p.m. on a Monday, four young men marched up Main Street wearing what appeared to be baseball uniforms with knapsacks and tin drinking cups. "No one seemed to know where they came nor what place was their destination," The Recorder observed. Three young men from a New York canoe club drew a crowd when they stopped at the wharf on a Sunday afternoon wearing strange outfits. They left at 7 p.m., saying they planned to travel to Poughkeepsie, about 22 miles. The trip took longer than expected, as the Poughkeepsie News reported the men didn't arrive until Monday night and immediately booked hotel rooms. Workers excavated the rocky ground near the District 3 schoolhouse to install a much-needed outhouse. The flagging stones arrived for an "experimental" sidewalk between Kemble Avenue and Furnace Street. The Recorder said a newly constructed railroad fence that followed the rocks and curves "reminds one of the Great Wall of China." At 10 a.m. on a Friday morning, a crowd on Market Street armed with sticks, stones ...

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.

Dr. Murray Sabrin joins the show to talk about Richard Henry Lee saying the colonies should be free and how that applies to today's politics leading up to America 250.

This is a rereleased episode from season 1 of Condemned to Repeat It. In this episode, we set the stage for the Declaration of Independence by exploring the deep English political and intellectual history Jefferson drew upon when he sat down to write it. Far from being a spontaneous act of rebellion, the Declaration was the latest entry in a long English tradition of publicly justifying political action, with clear roots in the 1689 Declaration of Right that deposed King James II and the Virginia Declaration of Rights drafted just weeks earlier in June 1776.  Gerrit walks through the political climate of the Continental Congress, where moderates, realists, and outright loyalists still outnumbered firebrands like John and Samuel Adams, and explains how Richard Henry Lee's June resolution for independence prompted a committee, led by Jefferson, to draft an explanation rather than the act of independence itself.  The episode traces how Jefferson's opening lines about self-evident truths, equality, and unalienable rights radically inverted centuries of monarchical assumption: rights no longer flowed downward from kings as gracious gifts, but upward from a Creator to the people, who in turn loaned legitimate power to government. The hosts close on a cliffhanger as Jefferson pivots from preamble to grievances, leaving Richard, ever the loyalist sympathizer, still firmly on the side of the Crown.

Today, we're diving into two pivotal moments in American history known as The Two Resolutions. First up, let's travel back in time to June 7, 1776, when Richard Henry Lee from Virginia stood up during the Second Continental Congress and proposed a bold resolution. He urged his fellow delegates to declare that the colonies were ready to break free from Great Britain. Can you imagine the atmosphere in that room? Tension hung in the air, as Lee declared, 'These united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states.' It was a daring call, one that would later lead to the drafting of the Declaration of Independence.In fact, just a few weeks later, on July 2, 1776, the resolution passed with 12 of the 13 colonies voting in favor. You might be wondering, what was the mood among the delegates? While some were excited about the prospect of freedom, others hesitated, fearing the eventual consequences of such a revolutionary step. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.

Let's travel back in time to June 7, 1776. Picture this: the Second Continental Congress is in session, and tension is thick in the air. Richard Henry Lee from Virginia stands up and proposes a bold idea. He wants the colonies to declare independence from Great Britain. This is known as the Lee Resolution. Now, you might be wondering, how did this idea gain traction? Initially, some delegates were hesitant. They worried about the consequences of defying the British crown—after all, they were risking their lives and livelihoods. But others, inspired by Enlightenment thinkers, saw this independence as necessary for self-governance and liberty.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – Join me as I explore the growing push for independence in the colonies, the rivalry between John Adams and John Dickinson, and the powerful impact of Thomas Paine's "Common Sense." Discover how intercepted letters and public debates fuel a historic turning point, leading right up to Richard Henry Lee's resolution and the dramatic moments that follow...

Learn why understanding the Declaration of Independence is important especially in these tumultuous times when patriotism is at an all time low. Discover why the Second Continental Congress decided to have a Declaration of Independence and how a committee of five of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston were chosen to draft it. Explore why John Adams insisted that Thomas Jefferson draft it, and how the Committee and the Second Continental Congress changed Jefferson's draft. Hear the entire Declaration of Independence, the most profound words written in the English language that were approved by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.Most Americans have never read the entire Declaration of Independence and have a elementary grade level understanding of it. Most remember the soaring words of the second paragraph (“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among the are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”), and maybe the last clause (“we mutually pledge our to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor”), and have not reviewed in any detail the remainder of the 1320 words. The rest is not just taxation without representation. There were 27 grievances listed by the Founding Fathers, of which taxation without representation is but one. In addition to the amazing, stirring words we are familiar with, and with the exceptions of John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, nearly no one knows the entire roster of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The full roster of the signers is John Adams, Samuel Adams, Josiah Bartlett, Carter Braxton, Charles Carroll of Carrolton, Samuel Chase, Abraham Clark, George Clymer, William Ellery, William Floyd, Benjamin Franklin, Elbridge Gerry, Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall, John Hancock, Benjamin Harrison, John Hart, Joseph Hewes, Thomas Hayward, Jr., William Hooper, Stephen Hopkins, Francis Hopkinson, Samuel Huntington, Thomas Jefferson, Francis Lightfoot Lee, Richard Henry Lee, Francis Laws, Philip Livingston, Thomas Lynch, Jr., Thomas McKean, Arthur Middleton, Lewis Morris, Robert Morris, John Morton, Thomas Nelson, Jr. , William Paca, Robert Treat Paine, John Penn, George Read, Caesar Rodney, George Ross, Dr. Benjamin Rush, Edward Rutledge, Roger Sherman, James Smith, Richard Stockton, Thomas Stone, George Taylor, Matthew Thorton, George Walton, William Whipple, William Williams, James Wilson, John Witherspoon, Oliver Wolcott, and George Wythe.Listen at your leisure to the amazing Declaration of Independence.

On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee stood before the Continental Congress with a resolution declaring that the united colonies were free and independent states, and that all political connection between them and Great Britain was “totally dissolved.” It also called for foreign alliances and a plan that would become the Articles of Confederation. The Lee Resolution was the culmination of a series of revolutionary measures that had already begun secession from the British Empire. This is the story behind the Declaration of Independence that most people never learn about.

Politics is the science of fraud - and politicians are its professors. Richard Henry Lee wasn't warning about a few bad apples; he was calling out the entire system. In this episode, learn about three major ways that fraud has always defined politics, drawing straight from the Founders and the thinkers they studied. They saw it clearly: a system built on lies, fear, bribery, and corruption. The post First They Lie. Then They Crush You. first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.
