Fresh from delivering a top-secret message to George Washington in Patriots, Redcoats, and Spies (2015), the 14-year-old twins have now been recruited to man the American Turtle, the world’s first submersible used in combat, in order to attach explosives to the hull of a British ship. Things are complicated by the fact that Loyalist spies are reporting their every move, and their older brother, Berty, is captured and scheduled to be hanged as a traitor. The story moves at a brisk pace with plenty of musketry and bloodshed, and the technical information about the Turtle’s creation is interesting rather than dull; readers hearing of the submarine for the first time will be intrigued. Discussion questions, a list of the historical characters who appear in the series, a glossary, and reproductions of historical letters support the story and make this a novel that could easily be incorporated into a classroom or homeschool lesson.\" --- Kara Dean (Booklist)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e This book is shipped directly from the author using Media Mail.

A new flag was needed to represent the Congress and fledgling nation, initially the United Colonies, with a banner distinct from the British Red Ensign flown from civilian and merchant vessels, the White Ensign of the British Royal Navy, and the British Union flags carried by the British Army's men on land. Individual states had been using their own independent flags with Massachusetts using the Taunton Flag and New York using the George Rex Flag prior to the adoption of the Grand Union Flag.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe U.S. colonists' (Continental Colour) was first hoisted on the colonial warship Alfred, in the harbor on the western shore of the Delaware River at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on December 3, 1775, by newly-appointed Lieutenant John Paul Jones of the formative Continental Navy. The event had been documented in letters to Congress and eyewitness accounts. The flag was used by the U.S. Continental Army forces as both a naval ensign and garrison flag throughout 1776 and early 1777.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is not known for certain when or by whom the design of the Continental Colors was created, but the flag could easily be produced by sewing white stripes onto the British Red Ensigns. The \"Alfred\" flag has been credited to Margaret Manny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was widely believed that the flag was raised by George Washington's Army on New Year's Day, 1776, at Prospect Hill in Charlestown (now part of Somerville), near his headquarters at Cambridge, Massachusetts, (across the Charles River to the north from Boston), which was then surrounding and laying siege to the British forces then occupying the city, and that the flag was interpreted by British military observers in the city under commanding General Thomas Gage, as a sign of surrender.[5] Some scholars dispute the traditional account and conclude that the flag raised at Prospect Hill was probably a British union flag.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe name \"Grand Union\" is contemporary to Reconstruction-era historians and was first applied to the Continental Colors by George Henry Preble, in his 1872 History of the American Flag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSource:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Learn more about the Grand Union flag\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Grand_Union_Flag#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAnsoff2006-3\"\u003eWikipedia\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The History List","offers":[{"title":"Individually","offer_id":39518671994945,"sku":"REVWAR-BKMK-WHTT-1","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 5","offer_id":39518672027713,"sku":"REVWAR-BKMK-WHTT-5","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 25","offer_id":39518672060481,"sku":"REVWAR-BKMK-WHTT-25","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 50","offer_id":39518672093249,"sku":"REVWAR-BKMK-WHTT-50","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1185\/2944\/products\/WeHoldTheseTruths-Bookmark.webp?v=1673370491"},{"product_id":"history-lover-with-ben-franklin-sticker","title":"\"History Lover\" with Ben Franklin sticker","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe sticker: \u003c\/strong\u003ePrinted in the US on thick, durable vinyl with a UV laminate that protects the sticker from scratching, rain, and sunlight.

Laboulaye and Bartholdi agreed that their monument should not be seen as leading an uprising, but rather as lighting the way, peacefully and lawfully. A key element was the name they gave to the Statue: Liberty Enlightening the World. Bartholdi's public monuments hailed back to classical images of a powerful, honorable national authority over any ideology. His statue of \"Liberty Enlightening the World\" would be above conservatism and liberalism and above radical revolutions and political turmoil. She would be an international symbol of liberty, justice, and democracy. In 1871, the Statue was transformed from\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eidea\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003einto reality - it was to be funded, built, and presented to the United States.\" (1)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilding the statue and the pedestal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"It was agreed that the American people were to build the pedestal, and the French people were responsible for the Statue and its assembly here in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"However, lack of funds was a problem on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (designer of the Eiffel Tower) was commissioned to design the massive iron pylon and secondary skeletal framework which allows the Statue's copper skin to move independently yet stand upright. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Back in America, fundraising for the pedestal was going particularly slowly, so Joseph Pulitzer opened up the editorial pages of his newspaper, \"The World,\" to support the fundraising effort. Pulitzer used his newspaper to criticize both the rich who had failed to finance the pedestal construction and the middle class who were content to rely upon the wealthy to provide the funds. Pulitzer's campaign of harsh criticism was successful in motivating the people of America to donate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Architect Richard Morris Hunt designed the Statue of Liberty's granite pedestal in 1884, donating his fee to help fund the Statue.  Financing for the pedestal was completed in August 1885, and pedestal construction was finished in April 1886. The Statue was completed in France in July 1884 and arrived in New York Harbor in June 1885 onboard the French frigate \"Isere.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"In transit, the Statue was reduced to 350 individual pieces and packed in 214 crates.

With the placing of “The New Colossus” on a plaque in the pedestal in 1903, Lady Liberty’s significance grew as an inspiration to immigrants who sailed past her on their way to America. The Statue was placed upon a granite pedestal inside the courtyard of the star-shaped walls of Fort Wood (which had been completed for the War of 1812).
