In my post on Saturday I mentioned a contest to see who can identify the three things that happened in 1619 that changed history. These three things changed the colonies, the USA and the world. However, they are barely recognized today.
Certain events are considered to be "Hinges of History". The reason is that these events, like the election of Obama, provide the hinges for doors to open massive changes in society. Winston Churchill, for example, wrote that the "Battle of Britain" was such a hinge because it stopped Hitler from his march to conquer the world.
Can you tell me what these three "Hinges of History" in 1619 were? If you can I will send you a free gift card from http://www.amazon.com/ All you need to do is write me those three things on my comments section and I you win.
Karen and I discussed the contest last night and she remembered two of the three. Close but no cigar. Sorry, Karen, you are not a winner this time. (You are a constant winner in my heart though.)
