Journey to the American Founding
September 28 1773
The stories we’re seeing from the last half of 1772 and early 1773 are a mixture of change and continuity. Surrounding the mixture is an intensification of actions and decisions. The new and old twist together in revolving cycles. The pace is not what it once was—it has picked up speed.
Excerpts from: Americanism Redux: September 28, on the journey to the American Founding, 250 years ago today, in 1773
The fate of a black woman arrested, convicted, and sentenced on charges of attempted murder takes a sudden turn. Five judges make their decision as to the rest of her life.
Her life occurs against the backdrop of seven ships loaded with tea leaving England and bound for America, while the Ohio River valley teeters on the verge of war.
