SUMMARY:The Road to Revolution: Boston\, 1775-1776
DESCRIPTION:Many Americans mistakenly think that the Revolutionary War is a boring topic. That’s only because you’ve never heard the dramatic stories of how America wanted its independence. Today\, we will concentrate on the unexpected and road events in the cradle of the Revolution: Boston. \nIn the spring of 1775\, tensions between Great Britain and its American colonies reached a breaking point. Within a year\, the streets\, fields\, and hills surrounding Boston would witness some of the most important events in American history\, transforming a political dispute into a full-scale revolution. \nIn this dynamic multimedia presentation\, historian Barry Bradford traces the dramatic story of Boston’s revolutionary year. Meet the remarkable men who helped shape the Patriot cause\, including Paul Revere\, Samuel Adams\, John Hancock\, and John Adams\, and discover how their leadership influenced the events that changed the world. Follow the dramatic action from the Boston Tea Party and the siege of Boston through Lexingtonn and Concorn\, the bloody Battle of Bunker Hill\, and George Washington’s brilliant victory at Dorchester Heights\, which forced the British Army to abandon the city. \nFilled with dramatic stories of fascinating characters\, maps\, artwork\, eyewitness accounts\, and video clips\, this program brings to life the people\, battles\, and decisions that launched the American Revolution and set the colonies on the path to independence. \n  \nCOST\nThe program is available for a minimum contribution of $5.00\, which helps support my work and allows me to continue offering engaging content. \nPAYMENT OPTIONS \nCash/Check\nPayable to: Barry Bradford\nMail to:\nBarry Bradford\nP.O.

SUMMARY:Paul Revere A Patriot With A Purpose
DESCRIPTION:Paul Revere: A Patriot With A Purpose\nPaul Revere is a unique figure in USA history   His name is universally known for his “Midnight Ride\,” yet he seems to appear out of nowhere on that day and disappear the next   Like Rosa Parks\, he seems to be important for one day of his life\, which changes American History and then vanishes   But like Mrs. Parks\, Paul Revere was a brave\, determined\, and respected leader who led a rich\, complete\, and essential life before and after his moment of fame. \nWhile Americans recall something of the drama of Paul Revere’s ride\, the details are more harrowing\, exciting\, and heroic than you may realize.

SUMMARY:America's Purpose Statement: The Declaration Of Independence
DESCRIPTION:The most important sentence ever written by an American – a sentence that has inspired people in every part of the world – is found in America’s purpose statement! Click here to read more. The legacy of Washington\, Hancock\, Franklin\, Jefferson\, Adams\, Hamilton\, and Paul Revere still challenges us. \n \nOn a stifling July Thursday in 1776\, our Founding Fathers agreed to a completely unique document in the world’s history. Many revolutions had occurred over the centuries\, but never had one begun with a philosophical purpose statement. \nAlthough the Declaration of Independence has no legal power\, it has become the guiding beacon for what America strives to become. As the events of 2020 showed\, we as a nation are a world leader in human rights\, yet America is still a work in progress. \n \nWhy study the Declaration of Independence? It is the ultimate statement of what we hope to become. Freedom movements in the USA and worldwide have quoted it. \nYet many Americans know surprisingly little about it. In this exciting and thought-provoking multimedia presentation\, I will present the thrilling themes\, difficult negotiations\, contradictory\, complex\, charismatic personalities\, and exciting events leading to the most critical moment in American history. \n

SUMMARY:Al Capone  - Master Of The Mob
DESCRIPTION:Organized crime came in with a bang – literally – with the rise of prohibition. And no city was more under the control of the mob than Chicago. This exciting look at the rise of the Chicago outfit in the early days\, culminating with Al Capone\, finishes with a fascinating look at how Sam Giancana changed the Syndicate in Chicago from a group of bootlegging dogs to an international powerhouse that influenced American presidential elections and American foreign policy. \nWe’ll examine how ethnic neighborhoods\, Chicago city politics\, and the Kennedy administration all played into the tremendous influence of organized crime in Chicago. \nAl Capone was one of the most famous gangsters in American History.  Unlike many organized crime leaders\, he did little to hide his identity. He was seen at Wrigley Field chatting with star catcher Gabby Hartnett. \nGabby Hartnett Chats With Al Capone \n  \nThe true story of Al Capone’s rise and fall is complex and unexpected. Capone began as a cheap hoodlum in Brooklyn\, working for Frankie Yale\, the first man to begin organizing the mob in New York. \nLater\, Capone moved to Chicago to assist his pal Frankie Torrio\, second in command of the Chicago mob.  With ferocity and force\, Capone would come to head the Chicago outfit – before his pal\, a mild-mannered bookkeeper\, and the federal income tax laws brought him down! \n  \n\
