They didn't feel great about its potential for success, and luckily, things turn out differently on the high ground around Boston later in March. Stay tuned!

    On Feb. 23, 1776, John Adams offered resolutions in the Continental Congress with the intent of boosting domestic production of saltpeter, a main ingredient in gunpowder, and gunpowder mills.

    02/20/2026 | 3 mins.
    I chuckled at this, from planter and pamphleteer Landon Carter's diary and letters, which describe his very critical thoughts on "Common Sense" and his relief that Gen. Lee had not written it.
