The Free Press is writing a weekly story on America 250. I'm going to post this weeks on Henry Knox but would like for others to post articles, X threads, etc on America founding.

You've inspired me to step up my game. Been meaning to read de Tocqueville for about 39 years now.

I first read Tocqueville on a tractor in high school. Our field was long enough I could finish about 2 pages per row. Not the straightest rows, but with modern tech, you can fix that problem easily enough.

My uncle said I wouldn't have to worry about snakes following me as I plowed wheat stubble. It was a massive fury that had a lot of play in the wheel
