This video came rather randomly in my feed. I thought it might be an SNL sketch with Phil Hartman, but the camera was moving immediately and that's not at all SNL style.
Not only did Caesar Rodney conduct his famous all-night ride to break the deadlock over Independence, but in the year following this he served as Brigadier General of DE militia, recruiting troops and forwarding them to Washington in NJ. Once or twice he took the field, as during the Brandywine Campaign, although his units saw no action.
@@MichaelScotto I believe he went onto serve as Governor of Delaware--before his death from cancer. His depiction here as old and extremely infirm was added to bring additional drama to the presentation.
Because 3000 tyrants have a much harder time reaching agreement as to how to use their tyrannical power. I'm curious where you live such that there's as many as 3000 people within a mile of you, that could hold tyrannical power over you. Generally, political units that small are well spread out; areas with population densities that high have larger political units than that.
Well, the director's cut widescreen is available for streaming for free. I have taken scenes from the original cut, edited for television, and corrected the sound. My hope is to introduce people to the musical, and also to interest people in the founding. Thanks for stopping by.
@@MichaelScotto Neither are tyrants. Just men thrown into an unwieldy system, doing everything they can to gain support. So in that regard, there's no difference. If you were to ask which one seems more like a hedonist... then you'll find a definite answer. Only if you wish to do so. edit: I forgot one compelled people to attempt a coup d'état, which in America is tantamount to sacrilege.
@@MichaelScotto Not cool or very intelligent for the poster of a RU-vid video to be so openly biased. What kind of Christian are you to bad-mouth the only pro-life candidate for president out there? “Orange tyrant”? And you claim to be a Christian? Take that out of your bio. You give us all a bad name. No wonder you have no subscribers!
