  • Summary

  • It’s June 10th, 1688. American Independence is 32,165 days away.

    Our series starts way back, almost 100 years before Independence way ever conceived of as an idea in the American colonies. In 1688 turmoil and religious tension set Englishmen on both sides of the Atlantic in conflict with their Royal Government, and unknowingly planted the seeds of conflict with the king that would eventually grow into the American Revolution.

    This is the 1st of 3 prelude episodes setting the stage for our series.
