American Revolution Museum is 'At The Ready'
(12 Apr 2017) With muskets polishes, flags aloft and one very commanding tent in place, Philadelphia's Museum of the American Revolution is at the ready.
After nearly two decades of planning, the museum that tells the dramatic story of the founding of the United States opens April 19, the anniversary of the first shots fired at the battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775 that ignited the war
The museum also reveals how a diverse population -- including women, Native Americans, and enslaved and free blacks-- helped push the Revolution and shape the conversation about liberty. It does so with interactive exhibits, theater presentations and large-scale replicas, in addition to original artifacts and the occasional whiff of gunpowder.
It's 118,000 square feet of history, but here are a handful of can't-and shouldn't-miss exhibits, details that surprise and small gems not to pass by:
Visitors can put their hands on an actual piece of history with the museum's 18-foot-tall replica of Boston's Liberty Tree, the first in America. There were once 13 liberty trees - one in each of the original Colonies - where the Sonts of Liberty met and plotted the Revolution.
Visitors can walk beneath the branches and read broadsides like those posted on such trees in the build up to the Revolution and period reproduction lanterns made by tinsmiths at Colonial Williamsburg will hang from the branches evoking 1766 Boston.
An actual piece of the Annapolis, Maryland Liberty Tree is embedded on display, and passers-by are encouraged to touch it.
The Annapolis tulip poplar was the nation's last surviving Liberty Tree. It was so damaged by storms and decay it had to be cut down in 1999.

Calling an Artillery Strike on Your Own Position: The Badass that was John R Fox
In this video:
According to an 1894 researched report, the earliest effort to create any sort of post office in the colonies was in 1639 by the Massachusetts General Court when a tavern in Boston owned by Richard Fairbanks was designated to be the first post office. This was in keeping with the European tradition of coffee houses and taverns being mailing centers. The first post messenger may have started in 1672 or 1673 with instructions to “behave civilly” and to mark trees so other travelers would know where they are going.

Top 5 Thanksgiving Parades
Top 5 Thanksgiving Parades
Get in the holiday spirit at these five fun Thanksgiving parades that are full of balloons, floats, marching bands and more.
Subscribe our Channel to get Exciting lists.
Macy's Thanksgiving Parade (New York)
More than 3 million spectators gather on the streets of New York for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and another 44 million gather around their televisions across the country to capture the magic of the parade's oversized balloons including Snoopy and Kermit the Frog, festive floats, bands of merry clowns and costumed characters. The parade steps off at 77th Street and Central Park West at 9 a.m., but spectators start lining up for prime spots at daybreak to watch the parade march through the Upper West Side for 2.5 miles until it ends at 34th Street and 7th Avenue. Get a sneak peek at the balloons as they are inflated on the day before Thanksgiving from 3 to 10 p.m. on 77th and 81st Streets between Central Park West and Columbus Ave.
McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade (Chicago)
The McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade in Chicago marches down State Street from Congress to Randolph beginning at 8 a.m. with the crew, including elephants from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey leading the way. You can expect to see plenty of familiar faces on the ground and hovering high above the crowds with floats and helium balloons depicting children's favorite characters including Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Kermit and Ronald McDonald himself walking the route with dozens of other clowns in his wake. The parade is 1 of the 3 in the country with a national broadcast so you can stay in your pajamas and enjoy the smell of the turkey in the oven while the parade rollicks on.
America's Hometown Thanksgiving Parade (Plymouth, Mass.)
Celebrate Thanksgiving in the town where the holiday originated in Plymouth, MA, during America's Hometown Thanksgiving Parade. The fun stretches out for the entire weekend before the official Turkey Day with festivities honoring the Pilgrims and America's earliest settlers. The parade marches along Plymouth's waterfront area starting at 10:30 a.m. and offers a chronological look at America's heritage from the 17th century to modern times. The soundtrack is provided by an array of musicians including bugle and drum corps and military bands, while vintage American cars and no-frills handmade floats parade through the streets. Arrive early to see the Military Flyover that kicks off the morning events.
America's Thanksgiving Parade (Detroit)
America's Thanksgiving Parade enlivens downtown Detroit with a spectacle of sights and sounds early Thanksgiving morning. The parade steps off from Woodward Avenue at Mack at 9:20 a.m. and continues on to Congress while parade-goers line up to see the colorful displays of art and talent. There are giant helium balloons and decorated floats, but the favorite participants are the paper-mache artifacts known simply as the Big Heads. The Big Head Corps look like walking bobbleheads along the parade route with costumes celebrating silly clowns, funny animals, world cultures and even some legends with representations of Diana Ross, Rosa Parks and even old-school Hollywood heartthrob Tom Selleck. If you want to stroll the parade route yourself, sign up for the pre-parade road race including the 1-mile Mashed Potato Mile, 5K Stuffing Strut or 10K Turkey Trot.
Annual H-E-B Holiday Parade (Houston)
The Annual H-E-B Holiday Parade has been a Houston tradition for over 60 years. The parade begins at 9 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning and marches around downtown Houston with marching bands, cheerleaders and decorated floats. Join the 400,000-plus spectators on the streets or spring for some of the limited tickets for grandstand bleacher seating alongside the TV zone where the parade's talented bands stop to perform for the guests and the video cameras broadcasting live throughout Texas.

JOIN US FOR A SUMMIT:
PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, AND MEDICAID, and VETERANS' BENEFITS
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the Defending Social Security Caucus, the Alliance for Retired Americans, the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, and the Strengthen Social Security Campaign invite you to speak at a summit to protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans' benefits.
Date: Wednesday, May 8th
Time: 12:30 PM
Location: 902 Hart Senate Office Building
Please join with every major organization representing senior citizens, working families, veterans, women, and persons with disabilities in support of protecting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits.
The summit will highlight the growing opposition to cutting Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) for Social Security and disabled veterans.
- Under the chained CPI, average 65-year-old retirees would lose $658 a year in Social Security benefits by their 75th birthday, $1,147 by their 85th birthday, and $1,622 by their 95th birthday.
- The chained CPI would cut the benefits of more than 3.2 million disabled veterans in this country. Permanently disabled veterans who started receiving disability benefits from the VA at age 30 would see their benefits cut by more than $1,400 a year at age 45, $2,300 a year at age 55 and $3,200 a year at age 65.
- The chained CPI also would amount to an across-the-board tax increase on working families. More than three-quarters of the new revenue raised by the year 2021 under the chained CPI would come from Americans making less than $200,000 a year. Those making between $30,000 and $40,000 would be hit the hardest.
Dressing the Past: Historical Reenactors & Exploring American Identity Through Costume
The periods of the American Revolution and the Civil War remain topics of pride and contention, subjects of popular writing, and inspiration for costumed performance. In 18th-century garments at Colonial Williamsburg and in 19th-century uniforms on Civil War battlefields, modern Americans celebrate the nation's history, and at the same time take the opportunity to air their political and cultural opinions while exploring significant aspects of their identities. Their costumes, differing from their daily dress, help them fulfill personal desires while they join with others in collective public performance.

History and Hope
This production is named for one of General Robert E. Lees quotes; It is history that teaches us to hope. The footage is from a rededication ceremony for the gravestone of a local Civil War veteran. The mans name was James C. Averill, and he was a private in Company L, 1st Heavy Artillery in Maine. He joined the Union Army in 1864 and is known for having fought at the Battle of Cold Harbor. James Averill died in 1901 on Labor Day, and was buried at the New Highland Cemetery in Newburyport, Massachusetts on 3 September 1901.
This production honors Private Averill and other American war dead and veterans while addressing the question of why it is important to remember them. Through short interviews with organizers and participants of the event, General Robert E. Lees quote is also explored. Civil War photographs and accurate American casualty counts serve as a reminder of past American conflicts and the many brave men and women who fought them. Check out my channel for the full length interviews on the importance of history and why it is important to remember it, as well as extra scenes that were not included in the short main feature.
Let me know if you would like a copy of its unique DVD. It is perfect for anyone who is interested in history and other social studies, and ideal for anyone who studies the Civil War and wants to be exposed to new angles. While it does not chronicle any specific battle, it is great for the classroom, as it encourages viewers to actively remember and learn from history. This production and its DVD will help students and other viewers to understand why the study of history is essential and why the remembrance of it and its mistakes are key to our survival. History and Hope is also available to watch on Current.com.
I need many votes from current users (if you are not one you should sign up) in order to have this video broadcast to millions of people worldwide who watch Current. To register go to current.com, to see my profile go to

200th Anniversary of the Star-Spangled Banner
British forces bombarded Fort McHenry for 25 straight hours from September 13-14, 1814. Two-hundred years later the National Park Service commemorated this monumental event in American history with interpretive and living history programs, period music, ceremonies, and a fireworks show for the ages. Here is just a small sampling of our programming, condensed into a time-lapse video, set to music from our own Fife and Drum Corps. Enjoy!

Charlottesville: Race and Terror – VICE News Tonight on HBO
