Chautauqua. A movement grew out of that place and that time and really spread across the country coming to boulder in 1898. Interestingly, the texas board of Higher Education came to colorado looking for a place to establish a Summer Mountain retreat for teacher training and they embraced the chautauqua movement, which was really sweeping the country at the time. They found a very willing participant in the city of boulder and boulder residents who already had espoused the university of colorado here and loved the idea of bringing more intellectual stimulation and entertainment to the community. So interesting Public Private partnership of the city, this group from texas and a railroad that would transport at the time texans between texas and boulder, colorado. It also was very much from the very beginning intended to serve the local community. That was part of the quid pro quo quo. Programming for the locals and the economic benefit for the community of having visitors. At the time su

History tv, american artifacts visits museums and historic places. Next, a visit to Fraunces Tavern at the southern tip of manhattan. To learn the history of the reconstructed 1719 building where general George Washington bid farewell to his officers following the revolutionary war. Fraunces tavern is at 54 pearl street, which is the corner of pearl and broad street in lower manhattan. It was built in 1719 with the delancey family. It was never lived in, it was built at a home, but it was a very mercantile area, lots of sailors coming in and out, lots of ships. So the delanceys never wanted to raise their family here, so it was rented out by different tenants. One of the tenants was mr. Holt and he rented a dance hall. In 1762, Samuel Fraunces purchased 54 pearl street and he opened up the queens head tavern. And being down here in lower manhattan, you were at the center of commerce. So it was location, location, location. It was a very popular tavern. Soon, the politics of the times s
Specific legislation. We are united here today. Over 150 current members of the house and over 200 candidates united in the belief that the peoples house must be wrested from the grip of special interests and handed back to you, the American People. Unhappily, americans today are cynical. They are tired of broken promises. Tired of being misled. Tired of spin from a white house that seems to govern on the principle that you can fool the people. Some of the time and tired of a congress that raises their taxes and wastes their money through the lens of cspan cameras. Americans are just dismayed by the sight of a revered institution corrupted by absolute power. A house of representative that now routinely stifles free and open debate cobbles together thousands of pages of bills behind closed doors and refuses to live by the laws it imposes on everyone else. And most damaging, has adopted as its central philosophy, the belief that ordinary people cannot be trusted to spend their own money
From continued conflict in the southeast so that the nations army could instead focus its energies on subduing the Indian Tribes of the ohio river, north of the ohio river in an effort to expand the nations borders further west. Now, this treaty that was negotiated in 1790, the treaty of new york, it was celebrated by many, Many Americans, most americans thought this was a very good idea. But there were some who didnt. And many of those who did not agree with it were georgiaens. Particularly those men who lived in this area in the appalachians. Now, you remember we talked about the proclamation of 1763 which had drawn the line down the Appalachian Mountains and mandated that settlers could not move to the western side of the appalachians. Well, some of the folks who were most in favor of creating a new nation so they could push west of the appalachians were indeed these same farmers from georgia. Now, in exchange for peace, president washington had given up claims to land that were inc
