The Founding Fathers:
What Were They Thinking? A NH Humanities
Council Program Local Resident and historian Dick Hesse will present a NH
Humanities Council Program "The Founding Fathers: what were they
thinking?" In 1787 delegates gathered in Philadelphia to address a wide
variety of crises facing the young United States of America and produced
a charter for a new government. In modern times, competing political
and legal claims are frequently based on what those intended. Mythology
about the founders and their work at the 1787 Convention has obscured
both fact and legitimate analysis of the events leading to the agreement
called the Constitution. The program explores the cast of characters
called "Founders," the problems they faced and the solutions they
fashioned. Thursday May 24 at 7pm
