he has been educated in england. the time when he is sent back to england is right after the english civil war. during the english civil war you have cromwell who has pretty much taken england and made it a very conservative country. after the restoration of the monarchy, you have the pendulum swinging from very conservative to the opposite of that. the resurgence of culture and art is prolific. one of the things that comes out of this is the idea of the restoration of a pleasure garden. it is not just a specimen garden. you are not gardening just to feed your family. you are also enjoying the beautiful flowers, the smells. you are enjoying taking your friends or sweethearts and walking them around these gardens. during his education, he comes back and brings that idea with him. i we are in the wilderness -- here we are in the wilderness and you have almost a medieval style house his father has built. arthur allen ii going to bring some of the culture he learned in england and establish that here. he builds a 1.5 acr

had towards southerners and southerners had towards new england. what held united states together after 1783? it is very fragile believe me. a national debt $25 million. a common language. and the pride in having defeated the strongest military and especially naval power in the world. well we're going to govern this country. we had a constitution. it was called the articles of confederation. it made the states supreme over the federal government. it was ratified in 1781. it granted the united states of america power over foreign affairs, war and a post office. that was it. if congress wanted money which it needed it had to recwisition it from the states. so every year congress would adopt a budget and tell each state how much their share would be. often the money never arrived. so congress had no power over commerce, no power of revenue. no taxation and certainly no power to create, as it would later, a 100-square mile federal territory over which the united states congress had exclusive jurisdiction. in 1783 congress consisted of the 13 states eac

the 19th century was still very indebted to england. yes, we had attempts to make our own culture, but at the same time query very much indebted to england. we still use this term today in english literature classes, the term victorian. in other words, shows this type of strong connection that went on. i will note that beginning around the civil war, there is a slight break, which i will come back to any minute. we beginning to reorient ourselves, at least artistically, towards france. still, queen vicky -- and there she is painted on the right by thomas sully, and american painter at she is taking the throne. one of the interesting things about her was that she and her husband prince albert or architecture nuts of the first quarter. -- of the first order. prince albert was very involved in architecture. his hand is all over mid-19th entry england. this is their getaway. has anyone ever been there? osborne house? 1, 2, 3, 4? ok. it is on the isle of wight outside of portsmouth. this is where victoria and prince court made their -- and p

it's the differential in gas -- natural gas prices between new england and the rest of the country. 2-7 is the number of the chart. this is an infrastructure problem. and i just think it's something -- it's absolutely urgent for our region. we went into natural gas in a big way, as you know starting in about the year 2000. now 50 to 60% of our electricity comes from natural gas. a lot of people like myself switched to natural gas to heat our homes. and last winter, winter before last, we had the highest natural gas prices in the world. and this shows us that almost double the u.s. rate. so i just hope that the department can be aggressive and forward-leaning in helping the governors, the delegation, the utilities to solve this problem. it's a pipeline problem. it's not a gas problem as you know. i think it's going to take an all of the above kind of strategy in terms of permitting and ts ait's a really urgent problem for the region. i assume awe gree. >> yes. in fact, the very first field hearings that we had for the qer were in new england specifically driven by the gas pipeline issu

today, it sits over greenwich, england. there are two reasons. one is there is a great observatory there, the royal observatory. the other reason is england won all the wars and got to tell people what they were going to use. to be fair, it is not just those reasons. it is also because england was the one that eventually solved the longitude problem. by 1773, there was a clock maker, john harrison, who developed a chronometer, an incredibly accurate clock. this clock loses less than one second per day and can withstand the rigors of sea. something completely unthinkable even decades before. these chronometers would give you time, but not your time, the time at the prime meridian. it is pretty easy to figure out local time. most of us can get a general idea by looking around us. that was true back then, too. finding time where you are not that is a whole other issue. that is why this clock was so important. if you know what time it is where you are not and where you are, you can measure the distance between the two. think of it as 3:00 in the afte
