As part of this, there was a discussion about and reenactment of the resignation of George Washington as commander in chief of the colonial armies. (The discussion consisted of a dialog between Neal Conan and Whit Ridgeway in the modern Senate room of the state capitol.) On December 23, 1783, after the Treaty of Paris had ended the American Revolution, Washington resigned. There had been some concern that he would set up a monarchy under him, made less likely because he had no children. Washington established the precedence of civilian control over the military by stepping aside gracefully and then retreated back to Mount Vernon until the nation called on him again.
After the discussion, there was a very long presentation of dance and music from the era. We were sitting across from Mike Busch, the Maryland House Speaker, who's kids tried desperately to stay interested during the presentation.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
