Hello. Im here in philadelphia, at the Gilder Lehrman study for american studies of the university of pennsylvania. Ive spent the week with an Amazing Group of educators from all over the, country brought together under the auspices of the Gilder Lehrman institute of American History. This has been supported by the Labor Company of philadelphia and the pugh center for arts and heritage, through their program, redrawn, history indigenous and colonial perspectives on america.

This is generously supported by the Library Company of philadelphia and the pew center for arts and heritage. We spent the week tossing around ideas about how we might redraw Early American History. We tried to do that by suggesting one productive way of redrawing that history is to think in terms of a complicated and ever shifting set of contests among three sets of actors. Three sets of actors we call native people, settler colonists, and european empires.

They dont need to be ruled from westminster and eventually of course enough of them decide that to produce a declaration of independence. So that graph would make the revolution pretty easy to understand, right, its just like you growing up. You know, when youre 2, the last thing you want is your parents to dump you out the door and say, okay, now youve got to run your own life. By the time youre 12, you can see it might look pretty good. By the time youre 18 here you are. So if this graph is right then the colonies are just goin ....

Their guards reportedly fell asleep on the job, and they falsified records in an attempt to cover it all up. Conspiracy theory are still flying, because the whole story does not make any sense.
