The 19th of April, 1775, a day that forever changed the course of our Nation. Why is this such an important day and who was involved in the birth of our Nation?
It will not be the story you think you know, or the story you heard in school. The volunteers at the RWVA are passionate about American Heritage. We love to tell people the Story of the Three Strikes, about ‘The Day the Shot was Heard Around the World.’ The volunteers are willing to tell the story to groups around the Nation.
Along the way, the story will answer questions you didn’t even know existed, like:
Who fired the famous “Shot Heard Round the World”? Historians have debated this for years, but you’ll find out the real answer at a LibertySeed.
Why did it take “three strikes of the match” before the American Revolution began? Yes, you believe the Revolution started on Lexington Green, when Capt John Parker’s men were shot down by the redcoats – but surprisingly, it did not began there. Nor did it begin with the fighting at the North Bridge in Concord a few hours later. You’ll learn the name of the obscure place the revolution REALLY began.
