Context (Ani):
The American Philosophical Society (APS) was inspiration for the Novanglian College of Lucidity:
- The APS has played an important role in American cultural and intellectual life for over 250 years, promoting useful knowledge in the sciences and humanities through research, meetings, library resources, and community outreach.
- It was founded in 1742
Octavian was inspired by multiple people, including Benjamin Banneker:
- Benjamin Banneker was born on November 9, 1731, in Ellicott's Mills, Maryland.
- He was a free black who owned a farm near Baltimore and was appointed by President George Washington to the District of Columbia Commission.
By 1775, tensions between the American colonies and the British government approached the breaking point, especially in Massachusetts, where Patriot leaders formed a shadow revolutionary government and trained revolutionary war.
In June 1775 congress had Georgia militias to prepare for armed conflict with the British troops occupying Boston.
This was the Washington besiege the city of Boston which was the “redcoats’” base. The siege started the Revolutionary war. The siege began on April 19th and ended on March 17, and before that fights had broken out at Bunker Hill, Lexington and others.
