  A British Offer–September 2, 1776

  Sep 1, 20262 minS0

  <p >General John Sullivan had been captured only a few days before by the British, during the Battle of Long Island. </p> <p >Now, Mike tells us in this episode that the Howes talked him into approaching the Continental Congress with their peace offering, but equally likely is that Sullivan simply agreed to deliver the message because it would get him out of captivity, at least for a while. (He was paroled specifically to deliver the message. Once he had his answer, it was “Back to jail with you, Johnny.”)</p> <p >Part of the problem Sullivan had was that Cong...

  Mail From Braintree–August 14, 1776

  Aug 13, 20262 minS0

  <p >John and Abigail Adams were one of the great love stories of the 18th Century, and for John to receive a letter from Abigail must have been heavenly, even if it happened nearly every day. </p> <p >To be sure, Abigail didn’t always have good news with regard to whatever might be happening at home, and today’s letter is no exception to that. But Abigail was a woman with strong opinions and she wasn’t afraid to put them to paper and let John know what she thought. It was presumably her hope that John could sway the Co...

  British Forces Gather in NY–July 29, 1776

  Jul 28, 20262 minS0

  <p >The presence of the British in Staten Island wasn’t a big mystery, but within a month after they first arrived, the number of ships in New York Harbor was well over 100, and still growing. </p> <p >And, as George Washington suspected (along with many others), the British began moving up the rivers surrounding Manhattan, working their way up the Hudson River in the effort to use New York as a wedge between New England and the rest of the colonies. Specifically, if supplies couldn’t get through, then it weakens both sides of the line. </p> <p >As for...

  Adams’ Model Treaty–July 18, 1776

  Jul 17, 20262 minS0

  <p >Coming up with a model treaty wasn’t John Adams’ idea, but it turned out to be a very good idea that he was responsible for implementing. </p> <p >Once Adams had it in his head, he began to work on the model treaty along with the committee, and while it was intended to be used for commercial trade, it could be (and eventually was) adapted for soliciting military support in the form of weapons and other ordnance (rather than troops). </p> <p >Today’s artwork, incidentally, is the Treaty of Amity and Commerce from 1778 that the US signed with F...

  Board of War and Ordnance–June 21, 1776

  Jun 20, 20262 minS0

  <p >We’ve spent a bunch of episodes describing a day in the life of the Second Continental Congress, and many of them were almost exclusively dealing with military matters. </p> <p >In January 1776 George Washington recommended that the Congress designate a specific office for these dealings, and Edward Rutledge picked up the idea and suggested it to the Congress. It took a little time, but the Congress ultimately agreed and set up a Board of War and Ordnance, which began operating on this day in 1776. </p> <p >The original Board of War and Ordnance was five delegates to the Co...
