  I might slip into my history, sports or movie topics occasionally.

  I hope you find this informative and can take away at least one little nugget each week that you didn't know.
• 0:38
  So this is our, 4th of July.
• 0:40
  We can now we're celebrating.
• 0:41
  And we're celebrating that, but independence and creation of this, of this great country.
• 0:45
  And during these times here, Right now, sometimes it's a little bit easy to forget how great this country is and where we've come from.
• 0:53
  But this is a great weekend to share it and understand it.
• 0:57
  And, So last week I talked about.
• 0:59
  one of the very first gun confiscation incidents that happened that just turned out terribly wrong.
• 1:06
  And it was, when the seventh Calvary trying to.
• 1:09
  disarm.
• 1:09
  They ate some of the food Indians and, over 300 ends up dying women and children.
• 1:15
  Well, this week I thought I would go back even a little further in history.
• 1:20
  Talk about another attempted gun confiscation that actually, led to the creation of this country.
• 1:26
  It wasn't one of those leading factors.
• 1:30
  So by the root bridge that arch the flood, their flag to April's breeze, unfurled ear.
• 1:36
  Once the embattled farmer stood and fired, the shot heard around the world.
• 1:41
  That's a first stanza of the Concorde him.
• 1:45
  Written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, and then that he is talking about the battle of Lexington and Concord.
• 1:52
  So we all think.
• 1:53
  The shot heard around the world.
• 1:55
  It's what, many people attribute to the, the actual, the beginning of the revolutionary war.
• 2:00
  But, how did it get there?
• 2:02
  Well, Tensions had already been building up in the, in the colonies for quite some time.
• 2:08
  It started in 1764.
• 2:10
  When you know, the great Britain started acting a variety of different.
• 2:14
  Taxes.
• 2:15
  On the colonies, the sugar act, the stamp act towns and act.
• 2:20
  generated a lot of resentment around the commies and they were, you know, the cry of taxation without representation.
• 2:26
  Then then, Boston's in Boston in 1770, we had the, the Boston massacre.
• 2:32
  In 1773, we had the Boston tea party.
• 2:35
  And.
• 2:36
  By this time, you know, tensions are, are, are really ramping up, in 1774.
• 2:41
  King George shutdown, the Boston Harbor.
• 2:45
  so that they couldn't import or export any goods.
• 2:49
  So again, things were getting, Very heated.
• 2:52
  Well, then in April of 70 17, 75.
• 2:56
  The sons of Liberty Joseph form heard from a source at the.
• 3:00
  British troops, the Redcoats marched in co going to Concord.
• 3:05
  To confiscate a, Weapons cache that the.
• 3:10
  Kind of revolutionary.
• 3:11
  He said he had been storing up.
• 3:14
  And, so again, this was the first attempt where the government was going to attempt to confiscate firearms.
• 3:24
  And.
• 3:26
  This is where we run into the story of Paul Revere.
• 3:30
  And it's great.
• 3:30
  Right.
• 3:31
  one of by land two by sea.
• 3:33
  the two lanterns for ELLs.
• 3:36
  Up.
• 3:36
  And Paul Revere, William Dawes, set out on their Trek to, to alert the calmness that the.
• 3:45
  The rig, it's not the British.
• 3:47
  We hear it.
• 3:47
  A lot of this at the British are coming the brochure coming, but.
• 3:51
  He wouldn't have said that because they, most of them considered themselves with British still at that point in time.
• 3:56
  Plus he wouldn't be yelling at because they were trying to keep this very quiet, but, The, Paul Revere and doors, end up running into, Samuel Prescott.
• 4:06
  they made their way through the countryside.
• 4:08
  Paul Revere.
• 4:09
  Got captured.
• 4:10
  dos.
• 4:10
  So off his horse and Prescott didn't actually be again, be the only one that, completed his journey.
• 4:17
  But as the troops had gotten to Concord, The columnists had already moved the weapons and there was a standoff.
• 4:26
  And as a.
• 4:27
  Search for the arms.
• 4:28
  a shot was fired out.
• 4:30
  Nobody really knows who fired that shot.
• 4:32
  buy it then, Ghana, volley of fire, back and forth.
• 4:36
  The, to the, Calmness.
• 4:39
  pursued the British or the red coats.
• 4:42
  All the way back to Boston.
• 4:44
  Now they, Well, not that successful.
• 4:47
  there was about 250.
• 4:49
  red coats were, Wounded or killed and 90.
• 4:53
  on the, con the side.
• 4:55
  Well wonder killed, but they, it did show.
• 4:59
  That we had what it took to stand up against the British.
• 5:03
  And then, a few months later in June of 1775.
• 5:07
  The Americans were barely defeated at the battle of bunker Hill.
• 5:12
  And again, this, again, suit and strengthen the confidence that the small little, Set of rebels could potentially stand up against what was the greatest power.
• 5:23
  Military power of its time.
• 5:26
  And this is how the revolutionary war.
• 5:29
  And.
• 5:30
  good.
• 5:31
  Impetus of it.
• 5:32
  Was the attempt of the British to confiscate the firearms of, of the militia, the calmness and in control.
• 5:42
  Now.
• 5:43
  And again, so this is just another.
• 5:45
  Piece of evidence why our second move and was put into place.
• 5:49
  Why is it important and why we need to stand by and support it?
• 5:53
  I hope you've enjoyed your, or join me for the July weekend and be safe.
