The film is directed by Thomas Kail. The filmed version is surely as good as a front row seat — and perhaps better.

  • The Louisiana Purchase Sarah Collinge
    The Louisiana Purchase Sarah Collinge In 1492, Christopher Columbus, representing Spain, sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in search of a water route to China. Thirty-six days later, Columbus and his crew discovered what is now the Ba- hamas. His discovery opened up the Americas to colonization. By 1763, Spain owned much of North America, including Florida and the land west of the Missis- sippi River. Great Britain owned the land east of the Mississippi River, and much of Canada. The original thirteen colonies were established and flourished fairly independently. In 1764, Great Britain started imposing taxes on the colonists to pay for the French and Indian War. Disagreements regarding taxation led to the American Revolution, which took place between 1775 and 1783. The Treaty of Paris marked the end of the Revolution and officially established the former British colonies as states of the United States of America. After the Revolutionary War, the colonists began moving further west into what was known as the frontier. At that time, there were no railroads or ways to transport goods quickly across land. Fron- tiersmen needed to be able to use the Mississippi River to transport goods to the Port of New Or- leans, where those goods could then be placed on ships and sent to the eastern states or to foreign countries for trade. At the time, the Port of New Orleans was owned by Spain. In 1795, Spain signed the Treaty of San Lorenzo, which gave the U.S. rights to use the Mississippi and the Port of New Orleans for trade.

  • John Trumbull of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence
    Bicentennial Moment #2: the Naming of Livingston County, New York Livingston County was named in honor of Chancellor Robert R. Livingston (1746-1813), a man who never resided Livingston County, but who was among the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. Livingston was the eldest son of Judge Robert Livingston (1718–1775) and Margaret (née Beekman) Livingston, uniting two wealthy Hudson River Valley families. Among his many contributions, Livingston was a member of the Second Continental Congress, co-author of the Declaration of Independence, and in 1789 he administered the oath of office to President George Washington. As a member of the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration of Independence, Livingston worked alongside Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Roger Sherman. A regional and national luminary, Livingston served as Chancellor of the Supreme Court of New York (1777 to 1801). As the United States Minister to France from 1801 to 1804, he was one of the key figures in negotiating the Louisiana Purchase with Napoleon Bonaparte, a sale that marked a turning point in the relationship between the two nations. During his time as U.S. Minister to France, Livingston met Robert Fulton, with whom he developed the first viable steamboat, the North River Steamboat, whose home port was at the Livingston family home of Clermont Manor in Clermont, New York. In addition to the naming of Livingston County in his honor, Robert R. Livingston's legacy lives on in numerous ways including a statue commissioned by the State of New York and placed in the National Statuary Hall at the U.S.

  • The Louisiana Purchase
    Name: edHelper The Louisiana Purchase Let's imagine that you are at a family reunion. While you are looking over all the desserts on the dessert table, your Uncle George comes over and cuts the best looking cake in half and takes it to his seat. When your Uncle Joe and Uncle John see what is happening, they run over and wrestle over who gets the remaining half. They have quite a tussle, and each one ends up with about half of the half. You can hardly believe your eyes. The cake is gone, and you didn't even have a bite. Believe it or not, that is pretty much how the newly discovered North American continent was divided up. Columbus discovered that there was a huge mass of land blocking his passage to China. France, Spain, and England all decided to send explorers and settlers to the new land. The Spanish stayed in the southern portion of the continent in what we now call Mexico, Florida, Texas, and California. The French stayed in the north in what is now Canada and the northern sections of the United States. The British took over the coastal region on the Atlantic. There were battles fought among the three nations over land claims and territorial boundaries. As more settlers came to the new world, more space was needed for them to live. The original thirteen colonies began to expand westward. There was an obstacle which kept the settlers from going too far to the west. There is a chain of mountains which runs from the northern colonies to Georgia in the south.
