that's a reference to waldo emerson poems commemorating the concord bridge in 1775 which begins at the rude bridge that arched the flood their flights through april's race on for old here once the embattled farmers stood in sharp and fired the shot heard round the world. there's a huge difference between the two shots. a difference not just in hundreds of years and thousands of miles. the shot that took me that was for brutality and darkness. there was fired not just to stop her young heart but destroy the demand for dignity and fairness. develop concord ended differently from the battle and event five years earlier when americans had thrown snowballs at the british and five americans and the dead. that confrontation again known as the boston massacre. what's the difference between a massacre and the battle? i will tell you: guns. some of us fail to understand our first amendment right to speak and assemble it is worthless without her second amendment right to bear arms. we don't make the connection sometimes. without the second amendment during a battle's just murders. some people are

thousands of men coming from all of the new england states after lexington concord bunker hill. very few so if washington never commanded an army in his life, which was the case, they were even less experienced. two of the finest officers of the entire war word new englanders washington picked despite his body as against new englanders because he had a great honor for talent, for ability. one of his most important strengths and characteristics. and he saw and nathaniel greene and henry knox to superb officers who would carry for him at that time and also as it turned out stay with the war as with washington for the entire war and they were the lead to general officers that when the whole distance with washington. neither one had any idea about the military. neither of them had set foot on the battlefield in 1775 when they signed up or by 1776 as the siege of boston continued. nathaniel greene was a quaker furthermore. he was a quaker with a bad limp because of a childhood accident and all he found the profession and arms and shoulders of an iron worker but about a fifth reeducat

it's a compelling story about a 12-year-old boy who's a slave in concord new hampshire -- concord, massachusetts literally on the eve of the british coming through. the might of paul revere's ride. >> and its nonfiction? >> and its nonfiction and it's based on archival research and it follows peter's story. he sleeps on the eve of the revolution. and he joins the continental army, not the british army. most blacks who did these could join the british army because the british were known for abolitionism. and they were antislavery. and so -- and it parallels another slave who escapes around the same time and same geographic area, who joins the british, and that sleeve and is up back as a slave after the war. and peter doesn't. so he fights in the war. he's almost like selig, woody allen's selig. he is some of the main evens the american revolution, the major battles and all of that and it has a happy ending. he does become a free black in delinquent at the end of the war. >> and finally, comanche empire. >> comanche empire is the one we are most proud of. he received his degree from university of

and we have, just before april 19th, a breakout of lexington, concord, bloodshed. the congress has dissolved, gets mercy, we don't know if they arrive in a carriage or horse, she was a country girl, she may have still been able to ride a horse and they with of to province where they warned daniel green right here and the sons of liberty, they might be attacking and before the day is over, messages arrive about the bloodshed. mercy is taken back immediately to plymouth and her husband goes back to concord. mercy spend a number of months terrified, a lot of correspondence between her and abigail adams. just before the battle of bunker hill, mercy is almost profit like. she is feeling there's going to be a terrible battle, the most bloody battle of fallen she writes a letter to her husband. it was a thrill when i read that, see that it was the day before bunker hill. during that battle, the president of the massachusetts congress was killed. maybe you are familiar with his picture, a famous portrait of joseph warrant dying at bunker hill and mercy is writing a pertine

was going to break out just in the last days -- i guess it was actually even after lexington and concord and it was clear that a national army would be formed, lee came to mount vernon and beseeched washington to go to bat for him and try to get congress to name him as a general officer. when the army was created. and washington agreed to do that. and i think in the early part of the war washington had a good relationship with lee. he regarded lee as probably the best military mind in the continental army at the outset of the war. lee grew, i think, to become disappointed in washington. he thought washington was too indecisive on the battlefield to be a good general. and at monmouth which is one of the most could be -- confusing operations during the revolutionary war, it's a battle that unfolds in the summer of 1778. the british had occupied philadelphia there giving up philadelphia, and the british army is marching from philadelphia back to new york. and washington is trailing that army. washington is in possession of an army that has been retrained and rebuilt at valley forge trained

so the owner of free market warrior, that's a kiosk at a mall in concord, north carolina, thinks he's deal. his name is lawrence spivek. he sells bumper stickers that he calls biting, but he says they're not over the line. one reads, work harder, obama needs the money. another reads al qaeda favorite says 9/11/01 and 11/4/08, being when president obama was elected. some people did not appreciate the message spivek wanted to spread via bumper stickers. one person complained to a letter that the messages were racist and bigoted. management told spivek the items sold are not neutral enough to be in the mall. spivek said nobody is selling anything from a conservative perspective. plenty of people are selling things with a liberal perspective, with a pro-obama perspective, and given we're in america and not north korea, we probably should have some stuff on the other side. that's what he had to say. the mall's owner, simons property group, would not comment on the story citing policy. spivack says he's careful to sell things that are not personally attacking a politician and wants a fair e

glenn: yesterday on the program i told you about a kiosk owner at concorde hills mall in north carolinathat is kicked out for selling anti-obama paraphernalia only. oh, my goodness. baby bibs that say "my parents chose life, thanks, mom and dad." why the hate? bumper stickers that say impeach obama, an al qaeda's favorite days, 9/11/01 and 11/4/08. ar ther spevak is the owner of that kiosk and joins me now. good to be with you. did you see the lead-in earlier. a good looking man there in the swiss outfit. i thought it needed to be said. you have been closed down. are you out of business? >> well, we're still on the internet at freemarketwar warrior.com. one of the biggest corporations in the country decided to stomp on one of the smallest businesses in the country, free market warrior. glenn: you are just in a little kiosk. they had lots of complaints? >> they had essentially one person who complained and was not willing to be in the same mall with material that she disagrees with. glenn: what is the worst thing that you have? >> that's hard to say. i was told it was offensive by the ma
