After her father’s death, the family moved around a bit. With each move, Mary’s brother opened and ran printing presses and newspapers. But the females in the family ultimately shouldered the burden of running these publications. To some degree, they had to! William was always engaged in some other pursuit. For instance, he helped to establish an intercolonial postal system, intended to replace the old British one.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn the meantime, the Goddard women were left behind to run the printing businesses. In 1770, Mary’s mom passed away. Mary was left to perform these duties alone.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eShe did a great job of it! Mary was a good business woman who worked hard to stay afloat during difficult times. Indeed, she managed to stay in business during the Revolution, when many other publishers were floundering. She opened up a book shop on the side to help bring in money. Her name soon appeared on the masthead for the Maryland Journal and Baltimore Advertiser. (You’ll remember that women’s names didn’t usually appear on publication mastheads in those days.) She also became the postmaster of Baltimore—most likely the first female to hold such a position in the colonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn 1777, her printing shop printed the first copies of the Declaration of Independence, complete with the name of every signer. It had been a long time coming! For many months, the names of all the signatories were not known. Signing that document was considered treason by the British, and the action was punishable by death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMaybe that makes it even more interesting that Mary’s full name appeared immediately underneath? She was making a statement—a statement that could get her hanged! Goddard’s usual tagline was: “Printed by M.K. Goddard.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDuring the first year of George Washington’s presidency, Mary was unfortunately the victim of patronage or sexism (or both). Despite 14 successful years as postmaster, she was forced to step down. The new postmaster general wanted to appoint a political ally for her position. Mary protested and even had a petition signed by more than 200 local businessmen, but to no avail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWilliam had, by then, returned to run his printing business. Apparently, his return was not an entirely amicable affair. Mary was left with only a book shop to run, which she did, until shortly before her death in 1816.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca title=\"View Tara Ross's site\" href=\"http:\/\/www.TaraRoss.com\"\u003eTara Ross \u003c\/a\u003eis the author of \u003c\/em\u003eThe Indispensable Electoral College: How the Founders' Plan Saves Our Country from Mob Rule\u003cem\u003e, \u003c\/em\u003eEnlightened Democracy: The Case for the Electoral College\u003cem\u003e, co-author of \u003c\/em\u003eUnder God: George Washington and the Question of Church and State\u003cem\u003e (with Joseph C.

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":"knox-moving-co-shirt","title":"\"Knox Moving Co.\" Shirt","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlso available, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.thehistorylist.com\/products\/henry-knoxs-noble-train-of-artillery-shirt-made-in-america\"\u003eHenry Knox's Noble Train of Artillery Shirt — Made in America\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur original design honors Henry Knox and the herculean effort that brought about the end of the siege of Boston.

In some modern collections all of these have been serially numbered, and a brief newspaper article added, making sixteen numbers. But Paine, in his Will, speaks of the number as thirteen, wishing perhaps, in his characteristic way, to adhere to the number of the American Colonies, as he did in the thirteen ribs of his iron bridge.  . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first \u003cem\u003eCrisis\u003c\/em\u003e was printed in the Pennsylvania Journal, December 19, 1776, and opens with the famous sentence, \"These are the times that try men's souls\"; the last \u003cem\u003eCrisis\u003c\/em\u003e appeared April 19,1783, (eighth anniversary of the first gun of the war, at Lexington,) and opens with the words, \"The times that tried men's souls are over.\" The great effect produced by Paine's successive publications has been attested by Washington and Franklin, by every leader of the American Revolution, by resolutions of Congress, and by every contemporary historian of the events amid which they were written. The first \u003cem\u003eCrisis\u003c\/em\u003e is of especial historical interest. It was written during the retreat of Washington across the Delaware, and by order of the Commander was read to groups of his dispirited and suffering soldiers. Its opening sentence was adopted as the watchword of the movement on Trenton, a few days after its publication, and is believed to have inspired much of the courage which won that victory, which, though not imposing in extent, was of great moral effect on Washington's little army.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.thehistorylist.com\/pages\/the-american-crisis-no-1\" title=\"The American Crisis No. 1\"\u003eSee the full text of the document. \u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The History List","offers":[{"title":"\"The American Crisis\" by Thomas Paine","offer_id":29057561329729,"sku":"PRINT-DOC-TAC","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"\"The American Crisis\" and \"Declaration of Independence\" (Save $5.95)","offer_id":29057713963073,"sku":"PRINT-TAC-BOSTONDEC","price":53.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1185\/2944\/files\/the-american-crisis-print-usa.jpg?v=1767408831"},{"product_id":"1776-with-our-nations-first-flag","title":"\"1776 with Our Nation's First Flag\" Shirt","description":"\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.thehistorylist.com\/collections\/historic-fourth-of-july\" title=\"Historic Fourth of July\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFind more Fourth of July shirts in this collection.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur original design, celebrating July 4th and our nation's Declaration of Independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two versions.

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: \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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe hang tag that accompanies the shirt includes a lengthy quote from John Adams, writing from Philadelphia on July 3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 1\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\" . . . the Delay of this Declaration to this Time, has many great Advantages attending it. — The Hopes of Reconciliation, which were fondly entertained by Multitudes of honest and well meaning tho weak and mistaken People, have been gradually and at last totally extinguished. — Time has been given for the whole People, maturely to consider the great Question of Independence and to ripen their judgments, dissipate their Fears, and allure their Hopes, by discussing it in News Papers and Pamphletts, by debating it, in Assemblies, Conventions, Committees of Safety and Inspection, in Town and County Meetings, as well as in private Conversations, so that the whole People in every Colony of the 13, have now adopted it, as their own Act. — This will cement the Union, and avoid those Heats and perhaps Convulsions which might have been occasioned, by such a Declaration Six Months ago.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 2\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival.

John Binns, an Irish-born Philadelphia journalist and publisher of the Democratic Press, was one of the first to realize in June of 1816 of the potential market for a 'splendid and correct copy of the Declaration of Independence, with fac-similes of all the signatures, the whole to be encircled with the arms of the thirteen States and of the United States' (as described in his solicitation for subscribers).

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 theBritish 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: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Grand_Union_Flag#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAnsoff2006-3\" title=\"Learn more about the Grand Union flag\"\u003eWikipedia\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe hang tag that accompanies the shirt includes a lengthy quote from John Adams, writing from Philadelphia on July 3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\" . . . the Delay of this Declaration to this Time, has many great Advantages attending it. — The Hopes of Reconciliation, which were fondly entertained by Multitudes of honest and well meaning tho weak and mistaken People, have been gradually and at last totally extinguished. — Time has been given for the whole People, maturely to consider the great Question of Independence and to ripen their judgments, dissipate their Fears, and allure their Hopes, by discussing it in News Papers and Pamphletts, by debating it, in Assemblies, Conventions, Committees of Safety and Inspection, in Town and County Meetings, as well as in private Conversations, so that the whole People in every Colony of the 13, have now adopted it, as their own Act. — This will cement the Union, and avoid those Heats and perhaps Convulsions which might have been occasioned, by such a Declaration Six Months ago.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival.

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: \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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe hang tag that accompanies the shirt includes a lengthy quote from John Adams, writing from Philadelphia on July 3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 1\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\" . . . the Delay of this Declaration to this Time, has many great Advantages attending it. — The Hopes of Reconciliation, which were fondly entertained by Multitudes of honest and well meaning tho weak and mistaken People, have been gradually and at last totally extinguished. — Time has been given for the whole People, maturely to consider the great Question of Independence and to ripen their judgments, dissipate their Fears, and allure their Hopes, by discussing it in News Papers and Pamphletts, by debating it, in Assemblies, Conventions, Committees of Safety and Inspection, in Town and County Meetings, as well as in private Conversations, so that the whole People in every Colony of the 13, have now adopted it, as their own Act. — This will cement the Union, and avoid those Heats and perhaps Convulsions which might have been occasioned, by such a Declaration Six Months ago.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 2\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival.
