History with Jacob is a well know account on X, diving into the heritage and story of us as Americans. You can follow him @HistoryWJacob My conversation with Jacob explores the concept of history and…
I like to pride myself in knowing little obscure things from history, you know, just like random little things I learned here and there.
And I can see why something like this would be captivating and would be interesting because even like the little 15 second spiel you just gave me there, I'm captivated.
I think storytelling is probably the best way that we can communicate history to people and so yeah that was one thing that I appreciate about your account when I first came across it was that you were dedicated to telling the America's story in a story form instead of just you know the same things we hear all the time July 4th 1776 we signed the Declaration of Independence and this and that and the other those things are important but But that's not how you get people interested.
With that, we're looking at 250 years since the Declaration of Independence was signed, since we became a nation.
I have a few questions related to that, but I guess the first one is with this being such a monumental occasion, what is your favorite story from American history in the last 250 years that you resonate with, or you think encapsulates our story of the best? Uh, what, what is that for you? That
is an awesome question.
Um, that's kind of like asking me to pick my favorite kid.
Um, I would say, uh, Okay, I'm going to go with the Revolutionary War era.
Of course I know that story.
Do you know that story?
