That is what both Benjamin Franklin and John Adams said- and concurring with them was Thomas Jefferson.
The phrase became: “All 13 clocks must strike the hour at the same time”. Unanimity. As to revolution anyway.
It’s a great series, very emotional and accurate at the same time. HBO Adams series. The guy playing Jefferson was brilliant, and Washington was eerily like a clone physically (didn’t get a VA accent right, but whatever).
Thanks for posting it.
I had seen none of it.
It seems to be historically accurate, which is the main criterion for judging it, in my opinion.
It did seem a bit melodramatic in the acting. They all seemed scared or worried.
