>> to start with new england, one can say that something special happened there. this group that came within a very short period, 1629-1640, only about 11 years, set in motion by events in england when charles the first try to rule england without a parliament. that caused resentment, particularly in the eastern parts of england. they were -- they came to america to maintain their freedom from a process that they thought was profoundly threatening to them. when they did that, they did other things as well. first of all, they settled in a region which was a challenging environment. it did not have the natural resources as other places then but it was very healthy for the inhabitants. they had high rates of growth, natural growth. and low death rates. they began to increase and multiply at rapid rates. they produce very large families. the families matured very quickly. the result was they were able very rapidly to produce a large and growing population and were able to meet their own labor requirements by that population growth. but if we go further south, it was no

especially new england. new england, again, it is the easiest story to tell about the coming of the great awakening. because there is such a linear colonial story in new england of the puritan founding, the decline of puritanism, a sense of building religious crisis in the early 1700s, and the 17 thirties, forties, an outburst of new religious commitment as signaled in the great awakening. a lot of what i will talk about, the background of the great awakening, is tracing the story most specifically of colonial new england. which is the epicenter of the great awakening in america. but the other colonies are definitely affected. okay? why do they have a sense of religious crisis? well one reason you see here is a rise, apparently, in agreed, immorality. we talked about this. about the science people were falling away from their puritan commitment. the pastures are talking all the time about how people are consumed with business affairs, forgetting about their love for god. they are worried society is becoming

but there is some evidence that at least new england is becoming more diverse, not just exclusively puritan. you may remember that we talked about that in the 1690s england started requiring massachusetts to tolerate other kinds of protestants. not just puritans, but now you have to tolerate quakers and baptists and other kinds of protestant groups. there are some intriguing pieces of evidence about rising at least access to sort of immorality and so forth. in the 1680s it looks like boston probably gets its first brothel. you know, the characteristic of colonial cities in london and so forth at the time. but puritan boston gets a brothel, a house of prostitution. this is horrifying to a lot of people. there occasionally are dancing classes in boston. so, you know, the puritans were not keen on dancing. especially between unmarried couples. you know, so there's, there are actually some pieces of evidence that you can look at and say, well, maybe this is becoming a sort of more diverse, non-puritan kind of society. you know, maybe there is something there to that jeremiahad kind of theme. pr

these folks went to new england, some of them stayed, sorry, in nova scotia. some of them stayed nova scotia, other loyalist settled in new york, some in ontario, a lot of these new england refugees relocated to london and became an x-factor immunity there. and then some loyalists were enslaved people who were liberated by the british army and found new lives in canada. some of those folks eventually would create a colony of free people in west africa, called cigarette leon. then there were some loyalists who did returned to the colonies, so the states at this point, and in some cases successfully sued to regain confiscated property. alexander hamilton actually represented all these people in new york. and in many cases, they were real lurie simulated into american society. this was less true in new england than in new york in the south, where there were larger numbers of loyalists to begin with. but not all of them had the same -- behalf of many>> thanks, patric. suzie, do you want to add to that? >> i thought that was really interesting, that alexander hamilt

let that sink in, endangers the reliability of the electric power system could new england become what'sld england, the uk. let's hope not because they now have been warned remarkable, a little scary, and hopefully interesting. >>> all right, the strongest global storm of the year appears to be moving across the east china sea threateningjapan and risking strong winds along china's east coast the super typhoon is currently packing sustained winds of about 160 miles an hour, holy mackerel but closer to home things appear to be much more quiet. the area of the atlantic ocean known as hurricane alley is on pace for its quiet est august in 25 years we've only had two other stormless augusts in more than 70 years of recordkeeping, one in 1961, and the other in 1997 i hope for goodness sakes we did not just give it the broadcaster's jinx joining us now is accuweather chief video meteorologist bernie, i appreciate you getting up early i debated doing this segment because i didn't want to jinx it now if something happens, they're going to say, well, you talked about it. we hear so much about bad

you get movements like the alumni revival and the baptist movements in new england in northern new england that are really at a different social level than these other movements. but that is after the revolution. >> thanks very much, taylor. next question is coming from gerald, funny enough that was about my last name was before it was changed on ellis island. but was the role of the catholic faith within the revolution in period especially as it contained to the processing communities here. >> that is such a fantastic question. i am going to rely on the work on mauro fairly here who has done a lot of works on u.s. catholics anglo new conflicts in north america. colonial catholics in the british empire and in north america were pretty loyal to the british state. they were really english catholics. they had learned to work within the english system then once the revolution happens catholics disproportionately participate in the revolutionary movement, disproportionate to their numbers. they use that as a lever to gain more citizen ship rights. to move military service to help redefine what

this is less true in new england the new york in the south where there's larger numbers of artists to begin with but not all of them have the same kind of trag. section thanks, patrick susie. do you want to add to that? well, actually, so i thought that was really interesting that alexander hamilton worked on behalf of many of the ones who? who were coming back and there's a wonderful story about john adams reuniting with his friend jonathan seward and they had their friendship had really broken up over the revolutionary war and then when it was over they saw each other and just gave each other a big hug at one point. i can't remember now whether this was well adams was in the uk or whether it was back on home ground, but you know, they there are these bonds of friendship and love and family that sometimes just you know, we're only temporarily broken by the revolution. it it is emotional when you start to think about it, really? talking us about you know that tension the tension of bonds. i want to get into the tension between the bond of breaking preservation and erasure and and that

and hutchinson will side his fellow new englanders or something.ple more obscure but i picked hutchinson in particular because i want my audience to see there was another side even to the american revolution. thomas hutchinson were alive today he was not a demon at all. my analogy he is harvard educated, he is sober, he is a traditionalist party believes in hierarchy. he loves his country but his country's britain. he left his hometown which is boston. if he had been lucky enough to been born 20 years early he would not have had to pick between them. but he does and he ends picking his king. so i do try to widen the cast of characters beyond the big six the first for president washington, adams, jefferson, madison plus of course franklin hamilton. >> you just mentioned cartoons and you also mentioned benjaminn franklin. so in a wayay your title almost sells your conversation short. it's also images involved in this. rateha this great cartoon that franklin generates very early on in the conversation. >> he is such asa genius. he invented bifocals. h

of course new england, it saturates the landscape. the point is, there is naturally going to be, in kind of the way we think about the enlightenment and high enlightenment, there is naturally going to be a tension between religion and the enlightenment, and the reason. so if you were to take the enlightenment to its logical conclusion, in terms of religious belief, forget about colonies for a second, but if you were to take the enlightenment to its logical conclusion, where would you be religiously? dylan? >> you would probably be landing on people who improve themselves and are morally good without the price. >> okay, where would you end up? how would i categorize that religion? if you didn't hear him, he said you can improve your life without any kind of christian faith or price or god. so if you took that to its logical conclusion, where would you end up? humanism or, what? atheism. is everything is reason, and everything can only be explained by reason, i guess you could try to apply a reason to prove the existence of god but ulti

former vice president mike pence delivered remarks at a "politics & eggs" breakfast hosted by the new england council and the new hampshire institute of politics in manchester. during his remarks, the former vice president spoke about the democrats' recently passed spending bill and executed search warrant at mar-a-lago resort. he also said he would consider testifying before the january 6 select committee. this runs about an hour and 15 minutes. [indistinct conversations] [indi] ] [indistinct conversations] >> we. august 17. to get a crowd like this says an awful lot about new hampshire and how people take politics so seriously. that is why we are such strong supporters of first in the nation. [applause] hopefully it will remain. i am jim brett of the new england council. it is my pleasure to welcome you here today. not a lot of people give us credit, but i would like to acknowledge the founder of politics and eggs and that is fred who is here. take a bow. [applause] fred is over here. and i want to also begin by thanking politics and eggs sponsors as you see around the wall here. all of the

have to fish in new england, new england's big crop was fish. half of it goes to catholic countries, were there a lot of fish, because they are not allowed to meet on fridays and saints days. there refuge dish, as they call, it was an amazing evocative term, the refuge fish, is what's feeds enslaved people in the caribbean. so the economically, we can start there. you can't name a colony where enslaved people were not significant. it even in a place like vermont, which is going to be the 14th state, there were enslaved people. not a lot, but even fremont is dependent on sending livestock down to the caribbean. so, economically there are significant. i think they become hugely significant, african americans to, late in the process of the origins of the revolution. but it's a reminder, to me, that we've got to talk, we talk about doors in the revolution, it's not a decision that somebody made one day. like i said at the beginning, you can't ask the question, if you start asking, why did the colonists decide herbal? you are already going down the w

congregationalists in new england. you know, new york has many different situations and they are going to be new sets, the shakers and the method is and more baptist coming on board and then dad is a lot of religious diversity. and america further strategic regions, we have to hang together. so much so that the first confederation actually writes a letter to that saying hey, why don't you join us and even though you are partisan, geostrategic situation as it will be useful to have you onboard while we are fighting the british said they extended it, saying okay, this is unlike any you membership. you have been preapproved and so benedict arnold comes close but they fail, so religious diversity is one of the things that is going to make a hard for them to join or die. different colonies found at different times for different reasons, virginia is about making money, basically about religious freedom and so when my story begins, they are not american, massachusetts, tons of newspapers, we treat them all pretty badly, throug

in other words think about new england puritans for a minute. you are not so stained and depraved from your sin nature. that you can't rise above it. and make something of yourself. you are not stuck in some type of a conservative caste system in which your bloodline determines whether or not you will be successful or not. if you reject that idea. you have drunk deeply. from the well, if you will of the enlightenment, so imagine, you know, imagine like a medieval peasant. okay, a medieval peasant pretty how does a medieval peasant just take a guess. how does a medieval peasant spend his or her day? so if you've studied medieval history, jack fields working in the field, right dylan you what dad to that. i was gonna say the same thing quietly. he's usually on a plow right or behind a horse. right plowing sowing reaping agricultural stuff, right? no medieval peasant say 18 to 22 year old medieval peasant is out there in the field saying. i may be on the field now, right but one day my kids they're going to go to college, you know, they're gonna be

congregationalists in new england. freethinkers and rhode island. a great-great-grandmother of roger williams, freethinkers and rhode island and baptists and congregationalists in new england. new york are many -- lakers in pennsylvania and delaware, anglicans especially in virginia and carolinas and then new ones by 18 order, the shakers and methodists and baptists coming on board and madison befriends the baptist particular so it's a lot of religious diversity and will initially be a stumbling block. i haven't mentioned catholicism american for geostrategic reasons think you have to hang together. join or die so much so the first confederation congress writes a letter saying why don't you join us? in the fought a war against you french and indian war even though you are catholic and we're protestant and you're french-speaking and if we are english-speaking, geo strategically it's going to be useful to have you on board say don't establish in the back fighting on the coast. they send a letter saying e you membership. you have been preapproved for a

and from new england into new york. in places like ohio, illinois, michigan, and wisconsin. at the heart of all of these migrations sit cities like cincinnati they form the center of these growing trade and exchange networks. you also see growth happening on the east coast. these trade and transportation networks connecting east and west spurred the growth of some other cities like baltimore on the coast. it really comes into its own on the early national period. urban populations in the united states skyrocketed between 1820 and 1850. in 1820, there are just 12 cities with populations of more than 5000 people. by 1850, there are almost 150 cities with populations of that size. as western settlers are traveling, they're going with their families, they're bringing their belongings, they're taking things with them that you would expect, your typical household belongings. things like furniture and farming equipment. but also in many cases, they are traveling with enslaved men and women. i will just say this briefly here. we are going to return to this and future lectures when w

but at lexington, ten people were killed and more as a british made their way home so many from new englandurn them from his calculation of week don't want to pay the sugar tax the gas tax so we got rid of the gas tax minister protected all that so that sort of rational compilation about how can we get back the good times we had in 1762. and basically getting back to the good old days to wanting to be a separate nation and many factors of course the biggest factor of new england, is the battle of lexington and from that faces the question of whether self version conquered and i would say yesterday that is emancipation proclamation, he was the last governor of virginia and in 1775, he was massively outnumbered, there were few whites in virginia who were loyal to the crown the vast majority of free to people in virginia were supporting revolution because they were not ready for independence yet they were mad about all these changes that parliament was trying to impose. so he is outnumbered and he does not have to be outnumbered because 40 percent of virginians were excited and it's important

i am inspired when i come to new england. within indiana we do not have the course site that you all have. i am a student of america history -- of american history. these are storied places in which we live. i guess the most powerful force in the world, freedom was minted. it all began with faith. people who believed that they were called by providence to create a shining city on a hill. . we have. america is the greatest nation in the history of the world because we have a great people who believe in freedom and because we have ever put our trust in this one nation under god. so long as we keep that faith, the best days for the greatest nation on earth are yet to come. thank you for having this, it is a great honor to be back. god bless you all. [applause] >> thank you for that. we have a personal connection, it appears that the vice president's grandfather emigrated to the united states from ireland in the early 1920's. he came from a little town, guess what? in the early 20's, my father also came to this country also from

seen double the normal rainfall leading to some drought relief, but it is a different story in new englandre a flash drought has developed. some rivers and streams are reportedly at record low levels and with little to no rain forecast this week, it could get worse. experts say the drought has now expanded to other parts of the u.s. northeast including in massachusetts where the entire state is in some level of drought for the first time in more than seven years. let's talk more about it with meteorologist ter derek van dam. >> i'll take you back two weeks ago, this is new england, here is massachusetts. i want you to see just how the drought conditions expand and intensify as i go forward. i'll advance to the next map and this is actually the latest drought monitor. and you can see how boston to providence, rhode island, is included within that extreme profile of doubt. that of course showing this flash drought that is occurring. what is the difference between a flash drought and what is happening over the southwestern u.s. that is considered a mega drought? the flash drought across the n
