00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:33.120
sixty eight and see what was going on in entertainment.
21
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.120
On July the eleventh, number one album was Bookends by

00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.079
Simon and Garfunkel. Herb Aalbert had the number one song

They comes fine today, pay Day Will by.
29

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.680
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
rolled that England's Joseph Swan actually invented the light bulb. Yeah,
64
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.800

65
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.919
