250 Years After the 'Shot Heard Round the World'— The British Are Still Colonizers

On April 19,1775 the British suffered their first defeat of the American Revolution. Contrary to populist fables, our Republic was not born of resistance to “taxation without representation,” but was centuries long in the making, going back to the 15th Century and the work of Nicholas of Cusa and Joan of Arc, among others.

That Benjamin Franklin was conducting important experiments in electricity while he was engaged as a spy and recruiter in Europe was no coincidence, but the standard of what a citizen in a free republic should become. He also was a staunch opponent of slavery, as were Alexander Hamilton, Gouverneur Morris, and John Quincy Adams among many others.

Sadly, most Americans, including most proponents of the “American System” of economics, have no idea of what our revolution was about, or how Alexander Hamilton, our first Treasury Secretary transformed our nation into the leading industrial and agricultural producer on the planet. The LaRouche Organization will take the opportunity of the 250th anniversary of the “Shot Heard Round the World” to begin a year-long initiative to educate and inspire our fellow Americans to rededicate themselves to the mission of our nation, as expressed in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution with a series of conferences, essays, podcasts, and historical tours. Join us on the 19th as we begin this amazing journey.
