Thomas Paine publishes an open letter in the Pennsylvania Evening Post, under the name “Republicus,” which advocates for the name “United States of America” for the new nation now emerging. This is the first time such a term has been used.

@history_dame Looks like P-51D mustang nose. So thinking that's a Merlin engine turning the blades.

When @astro_reid was a senior at Dulaney High School, the caption under his yearbook photo began with the words “FUTURE PLANS: Fly high.” Tonight, he’s commanding NASA’s Artemis II—the first crewed mission to fly around the moon in over 50 years. We’re so proud to be cheering

Presidents’ Day: A reminder that leadership is tested in crisis, judged by history, and remembered in stone. Some were celebrated. Some were challenged. Some failed. But all shaped the American story. Here are more photos from the Presidents’ Heads. Explore more photos and my video at: historydame.com/trip-recap

In 1783, King George III asked an American painter what George Washington would do now that he had virtually won the war. The painter replied that the General intended to return to his farm in Virginia. The King was stunned. He reportedly said, "If he does that, he will be the

After a tough year and several defeats, General George Washington pulled off a bold surprise attack on the morning of December 26, crossing the icy Delaware River in the middle of winter and hitting an unsuspecting Hessian force in Trenton, New Jersey. The Continental Army overwhelmed the garrison and secured its first major American victory of the Revolution. Here are some fun facts about one of the most epic military moments in U.S. History: The crossing began on Christmas night around 6 PM on Dec. 25 and continued into the early morning of Dec. 26. Despite how fun this myth is, there’s no evidence that the Hessian troops were intoxicated. Most troops crossed in large Durham boats. The crossing of the Delaware is one of the most enduring examples of American grit, determination, and ingenuity. The time of year adds to the lore!
