![]() ![]() So, George Washington was born in a time where entitled European Kings controlled everything that happened in America, a time where candles and bonfires were the only man‑made light source at night, a time where communication between cities happened at the speed of the fastest horse, and a time where people didn't even know what a dinosaur was! 1Īnd, the Industrial Revolution would take another seventy years to really kick in. The first fossil had NOT been discovered yet, and wouldn’t be discovered for another thirty‑nine years. These colonies had their own armies (called Provincial Armies), which were different from the Royal Army of Britain-and these Provincial Armies were often used to fight off the Indians and the French as the colonies expanded. This means humans knew about planets and space (despite never leaving our atmosphere).Īmerica had been discovered 240 years earlier! Enough time for many cities to be pretty well established despite people calling them “Colonies”. Isaac Newton came up with the law of universal gravitation forty‑five years earlier. So let me put things in perspective here before we all lose interest.What does 1732 mean? Well: Very often because I’m not familiar with the historical events around that date and (in my ignorance) I get angry and blame it on the text. However.the problem I have with this, is that whenever I read anything that starts with a date, I immediately lose interest. Alright, George Washington was born in 1732. ![]()
