sixty eight and see what was going on in entertainment.

21
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.120

They comes fine today, pay Day Will by.

top movie was Don't Raise the Bridge, Lower the River.

31
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.840
Now an American and a British con artists they planned

32
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:40.599
to scam the British out of a lot of money.

33
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.120
Stars Jerry Lewis and Tyree Thomas.

34
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:43.919
All right, what.

35
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.199
Happened On July the eleventh, sixteen fifty six, The first

36
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.840
Quakers landed in Boston. Now two English women and Austin

37
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.960
and Mary Fisher. Things didn't go well, see the prudence Puritans. Yeah,

38
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.159
they didn't light the Quakers at all. So Ann and

39
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.240
Mary they actually were arresting, then had to spend five

40
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.280
weeks in jail. Then they got deported to Barbados. Little

41
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.240
irony of that that appeared in this came to America

42
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.439
to escape religious persecution. The United States Marine Corps, it

43
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.680
was founded on November tenth and seventeen seventy five. Now

44
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.759
they were the Continental Marines of the American Revolution. Now

45
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.240
that is the day that the Marines still celebrated their birthday.

46
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.120
But the Marines they were disbandoned after the war in

47
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.240
seventeen eighty three. Then today in seventeen ninety eight, the

48
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.000
Marines there, they were brought back. He has Congress reinstated

49
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:26.879
in the Marine Corps. They brought him back because the

50
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.080
thought we might have to fight in Napoleon. Eighteen oh

51
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.000
four are the famous duel between Vice President Aaron Burr

52
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.800
and former Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton. Yeah, I

53
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.800
went down in New Jersey. Now Burr killed Hamilton. So

54
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.240
that killed Burr's political career. So the only winner President

55
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.199
Thomas Jefferson. Yeah. They were the two biggest political rivals,

56
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.560
and he aided both of them. Eighteen sixty three, in

57
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.919
New York City, the Union Army held its first draft lottery. Now,

58
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:52.479
if you paid three hundred dollars, you didn't have to

59
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:56.439
put your name in the Yeah, you're out of the lottery. Today,

60
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.919
that'd be out seventy five hundred dollars. So yeah, the

61
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:00.520
rich people, they were able to either way out of

62
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.759
the draft. Eighteen ninety two, the US Patent Office it

63
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.280
