4.23 Preparing to Meet
During the Summer months of 1774 the colonies began preparations for a meeting in Philadelphia. This process would show just how many differences remained between the colonies as everybody came in with their own specific agenda. They all had things that they were worried about, things that they wanted to accomplish. This tension between the colonies, colonies that had been competitors in business for a century and a half, would help dictate the first continental congress.

Customer Reviews
Fantastic Show!
I love this podcast! It's a deeper look into the pivotal events that built our country and shaped our worldview. He does such a good job of explaining without being influenced by his opinions or cultural trends. I appreciate that it's clean and I can share with my students. I love it!!!
Accessible/informative
Perfect kind of podcast for me personally. I wish more folks were interested in understanding how we got here. Looking at current ideologies through a historical lens can really help paint a clearer picture of the goings on of today. Loving this podcast and can’t wait to use it as a reference in one of my many upcoming political science classes. Thank you for doing this!!!
Enjoying these history lessons, so relevant for today’s convos.
Thanks for this! I wanted to better participate in the conversations today about race, religion, politics and the economy and found my historical knowledge lacking so looking her to get caught up. I like the level of detail, enough but not too much, and how thorough this is being covered. Very much appreciated and recommended!
