If you went back to the time more than two hundred thirty years ago when the Constitution was being written, you probably wouldn’t recognize the place at all. America in 1787 was very different than today. The song “Off to Philadelphia,” talks about rutted trails of mud instead of roads and traveling by horse and coach instead of cars and trains. What was it really like to live during those pivotal years? To talk about this, Judge Jim Gray, Professor Jo Ellen Chatham, and “The American”, Bijan Kian are joined by Dr. Bryan Santin, Associate Professor of English at Concordia University Irvine. Dr. Santin gives us a graphic description of what life was like in the 13 colonies that eventually made up the United States of America. Tune in and be ready to be taken back in time and gain a new appreciation of what it was like to be American when the Founders declared government to be based on “We the people.”
