(Please see the note at the bottom for an important Thursday
event.)
There is probably no single day in history more decisive for the
creation of the United States than Christmas Day 1776. A few thousand
ordinary individuals, ragged, largely barefoot, hungry, and as varied
in ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, social and financial
standing, as any group one could possibly imagine, united and achieved
a remarkable victory that turned the tide of the war for the American
Revolution. What was the character of these men? What united them
despite their diversity and differences? What made them so dissimilar
from the British soldiers and their mercenary armies, which had so
ruthlessly crushed numerous other colonial uprisings? We will examine
the exemplary case of the Marblehead Regiment, the soldier-mariners,
who rowed Washington across the Delaware. This knowledge of our true
roots is indispensable to returning ourselves and America to our true
revolutionary identity. . .
