Their peace, tranquility, and their sense of humor were shattered by the eager entry of royal envoys. You may be relieved to think that he was over 200 years old before the audition for "Robin Hood - Men In Tights".
The messenger, dressed in strong armor, doubted before the Lord, seemingly unsure whether to bow or bend down. It was not immediately clear whether this was due to uncertainty about his gender, or whether he had been out of the country until he forgot the refinement of British court life. He bowed down. ” He said with a sigh. "I have some sad news from the Americas."
The King looked confused for a moment, but Prince George ignored his Game Boy and started paying attention. Finally, the Lord said:
“American countries? Is that one of my backgrounds? "
"Yes, Your Honor, by 13 American colonies."
"Aah," said the Lord, "since I passed 100 marks I have trouble remembering them all."
"This is not good news," the messenger continued. “It seems that a strange disease, a virus, has invaded entire populations. It had a bad effect in you Great. It affected their voices. Everyone is affected. ”
“Why is that so painful? Does he have a doctor there? ” Asks the innocent Lord.
“Honorable. They can no longer speak the English of the Lord. They have begun to speak strangely, every word in English of the King is distorted. They sound like they belong to another world. This virus is very dangerous, Sir, no one still speaks English.”
“This virus, may have been planted by the French? They are very jealous of all my colonies; they will not give up anything,” replied the King. "Does this mean everyone who speaks it now, this foreign language, sounds French?"
“I will not thank you, Your Excellency. But how can the French smuggle this virus? ” asked the messenger.
“Do you remember Troy? Trojan horse? They did so, deceptive French. They hope they will use the Trojan horse to infect my domain,” thought King.
The messenger looked at the Lord anxiously, and continued:
“There is only one thing. I cannot take my studies in my country without speaking the English of the Lord. ”
He said, shaking his arm reluctantly. "Drive them," he said. “Let them hold their own. I know they will never live alone, let alone development, but we will not know if my Kingdom is damaged by those people living with this virus. ”
"But Sir, don't you think you should visit the field to check for problems?" suggested the messenger.
The Lord shook his head knowingly.
“We do not have a cure for this mysterious virus. What would be the point of my departure? "
Prince George looked the other way in pleading:
“Oh, please go, Dad. I want those domains. ”
"No son, those colonies are no longer part of my kingdom, and they will not be part of your estate," replied the King.
With a wave of his hand, the King expelled his American colonies. But the story did not end.
A messenger was sent to tell the King's officials to prepare papers that would lead to American Freedom; and as a recent consideration, he also sent a message to Parliament, informing them of his declaration of American Independence.
Government news was slow in those days, but by January 1776 the British authorities had prepared a paper entitled: The British Route To American Independence. Armed with this historic document, the King's emissary went on to what the Lord now considered to be his former American colonies.
This was not an Instant Messenger. The British and French were not yet friendly enough for Concorde to be born, so it was a long, arduous voyage by ship. The envoy arrived at American soil a few weeks later, carrying the British Route to American Independence.
British ambassadors were informed of the Lord's instructions. In those days, there was no printing press, so there were only two handwritten copies of this historic document. One was to be kept by the Lord's messenger, and the other was given to the colonial leader.
The most common means of communication at the time were still word-for-word, and that was the turning point in the history of history. It was not just verbal communication, but it was slow.
The virus that had invaded the vocal cords had disrupted the vocal cords. What used to be a “root” in the King's English, then became a "trail" (as a way out) for those affected by this mysterious virus. So, as news of the Lord’s proclamation began to leak, the first discussion in American areas was about the English “route” to American Independence.
A British official in Boston heard about all this talk about American Independence and the British rout. Now, in the English of the Lord, he thought the English had been defeated, which means he had been beaten with a hammer, beaten to the point of extinction. In football, it was like one team scoring 13 goals against 0. The British, suddenly no one, had been defeated by the American colonies.
The British officer panicked, and others in Boston planned their escape by sea. Their soldiers had been shot, or so they thought, so they had no choice but to flee the first ship leaving Boston Harbor. That happened in May 1776.
As the ship pulled away from the harbor, the people of Boston began to hear what had happened. The British army had been severely beaten by the colonial forces. They were excited, and soon they were planning a big party in an open area near the sea. A local T-shirt manufacturer quickly designed the American flag, and issued thousands of T-shirts with a printed front and rear flag.
Owners of Irish restaurants have opened their own private rooms of Guinness stocks, and then delivered crates at the impromptu festival. The people of Bostonian have been given their own T-shirt, which they are proud to wear immediately, as well as part of the Guinness crate. They drank late into the night, and as each Guinness crane was emptied, it was thrown into Boston Harbor, or as it is now called, Boston Harbor.
This big event is known as the Boston T-shirt Party (later to be revised as the Boston Tea Party and dates back to 1773.)
During the period of a few months to the end of June 1776, similar scenes were repeated in all colonies. The story of the English defeat reached the English forces in the field, one army at a time, laying down their weapons, believing that their army had been defeated. All the news that was broadcast was that of the badly beaten British, and soon they surrendered in large numbers.
Disappointed British officials who returned to London were filled with reports of military defeats and other embarrassments. The soldiers themselves were ashamed to return and face the wrath of their King. King George III joked about the idea of making a speech on the balcony of Buckingham Palace about his granting independence to American colonies. However, a court historian noted that the kings had not yet done so. The discourse in the House of Lords was canceled, as it was too high for foreigners to negotiate, even though it was in the old place.
And so it was, that on July 4th 1776, the Secretary of State rose from the House of Commons and officially granted independence to 13 American colonies.
Back in the previous colonies, things were moving forward. News of the English conquest was full, but as it did not really happen, it was often misunderstood. There must have been good news for the war, everyone was thinking, and for the many victories that led to the persecution of English soldiers. But where were the details?
Colonial leaders began to lose hope. How can they record these proud moments of their history with one sentence, “The British Have Been Routed.” When exactly? Where?
In Washington, a special session of the Continental Congress was held. It just so happened that one of the members was a passionate theater fan, and he had been talking to a group of teasers who had been visiting and entertaining in the area. They had writers, led by a young woman named Holly Wood.
A happy Congress, inspired by the powerful Holly, began to put together events that led to what they would later proclaim as the American Declaration of Independence. They decided to start in 1773, and incorporated historical "facts" from there. One of them had heard about the Boston T-shirt Party; the other was a dissatisfied tea fan. They came up with the story of the Boston Tea Party as the beginning of an anti-British movement that would lead, through many wars and wars, to American independence.
In the last few days of June and the first 2 days of July, a team of writers, or non-historians, worked day and night to compile a solid and impressive history of the American Independent War. When another secret conference gathered to hear the updated history, delegates shook hands.
"Of course," they said in unison. "But how do we put all this in American society."
A team of essay writers was re-hired, so that by the morning of July 4, everything was ready. History, as well as advertising, were all ready to present to the waiting American community.
Thus, two major institutions were born in July 1776. No, not the Senate and the House of Representatives; they came later. No, it was two far-reaching institutions:
Political Spin, and Hollywood.
