    The Dreaded Stamps In NYC

    How much do you know about the colony of New York? How did the sons of liberty have so much influence in the colonies? What happened in New York City on the day The Stamp Act went into effect? On today’s episode of Founded we’re finding out about what happened in NYC on stamp day and the people in power that day. Often considered to be a colony that remained loyal the longest, lagging behind in the revolutionary movement, New York helped to lead the way early in the revolution. The sons of liberty in NY were great at organizing, much to the Lt Governor’s chagrin. Key Players: Cadwallader Colden: Lt Governor, and acting governor of New York. Stubborn and sure of his ability to execute the Stamp Act General Thomas Gage: Commander in chief of the British forces in America, ready and willing to support crown officials who were willing to stand up to the protesters.  Major James: Officer in the British regular army, manning the fort in NYC William Goddard: Publisher of the Constitutional Courant Sources:  ⁠⁠Click Here for Merch⁠⁠ Find the video version of ⁠⁠Founded on Youtube⁠⁠ We want to hear from you!  What did you find interesting?

    The Stamps That Started A Revolution

    Do you know what happened on November 1st in 1765, the day The Stamp Act was supposed to go into effect? Who had control of Boston at the time? Have you ever heard of Pope’s Day? Why was the shoemaker Ebenezer McIntosh so important to the patriots cause? On today’s episode of Founded we’re finding out what happened in Boston during the days leading up to and following the day the stamp act was to take effect. A parade was planned, the rabble was in control of the town and much more was at stake than the silly stamps. The patriots managed to surprise everyone with what they were able to pull off. Key Players: Francis Bernard: “Royal governor” of Massachusetts Bay colony, afraid of the rabble and thought everyone should just go along with the stamps until parliament repealed the act Thomas Hutchinson: Lt. Governor of Massachusetts Bay colony, scapegoat and often targeted in patriot hate James Otis Jr: Prominent Boston lawyer, rabble rouser, patriot Samuel Adams: Member of the House of Representatives, writer in the local papers, patriot, rabble rouser with a vendetta  John Hancock: Selectman in Boston, political pancake, rich, fence sitter  George Grenville: Ex-Prime minister of England, mastermind behind the stamp act Ebenezer Mackintosh: Shoemaker, gang leader, patriot Sources Click here for ⁠Merch⁠ We want to hear from you!  What did you find interesting?
