I’m a history teacher (5th grade - US History) and am super passionate about history, but nothing speaks more to me than the American Revolution!! I want to completely sponge off of everything you share. Thank you for sharing your passion, research, knowledge, and helping keep history alive. I will be spend hours looking through all of your other pages, movies, other pages you like, etc. <br />I feel very silly the way this may sound. I’m not expressing it carefully, but rather, just saying it how it comes to me. I’m giddy and can’t wait to LEARN!!!! I love that I’ve found this. It’s the most amazing article I’ve ever read about history! (Found the article on the Daughters of the American Revolution Facebook page. I’ve recently searched and found a few ancestors who made my passion for the Revolution even more powerful.). <br />If you have any other recommendations or pages you’d be willing to share, please do!! Thanks again for sharing your passion and knowledge of history!!!!!!!<br />~Karen~<br />Historical Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979801752112100293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-61125670628707415702017-07-06T07:26:53.833-04:002017-07-06T07:26:53.833-04:00Thank you for the kind comments.

I appreciate your writing it. I know it took some time to get it right, more hours than most would believe. I think our love of Civil War history is mutual, but we have progressed back to a love of Revolutionary history now. I think the Creation of the Country is more compelling to our souls than the destruction and costs of the preservation of the Union. Mind you, I'll dress up and play either time period , but more and more I am compelled to prefer the 18th to the 19th century. I watch the John Adams dvd's now, and the Washington's spies story was a grand production. The Gettysburg dvds....well, I haven't put them in the machine in a while. I've never been to Virginia or New England; now that I'm retired I need to go and see it all for myself while I can still travel. Ancestry.com found descendants of the original signers of the D of I, and put them in a commercial reading parts of it. They end the one minute spot by posing them to look like the painting. You can find it on YouTube and it will run, they say, for a couple of weeks. I know it is just a commercial, but it made my eyes water to see it.
