In The History Segment, we take a fascinating look back at pre-Revolutionary New Hampshire. One thing we’ve noticed is that many of the issues faced by the colonists at the time are very similar, if not identical, to the issues we face today as a society and nation. What’s more is that because James Patrick Riley is a bona-fide historian with intimate knowledge of the period, we also learn about how these issues were perceived, debated and handled. What could be better in this time where the people of the United States of America, a people James Madison said needed to be educated and moral to make the Constitution drafted by him and ratified by our founding colonies, are largely ignorant of our history, heritage and founding principles?
Also, from time to time, we feature local historic associations, societies, museums, events, activities and restorers. We’re always happy to feature those who locally are doing the heroic work of historic preservation, education and OOOHHH sooo much more!
