The history of trade with China. President Obama does the introduction. In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned the Empress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty. Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China. This is a long video with many names that are probably unknown to most students. It has good visuals, but the fast-paced video covers too much ground for younger students. (08:23)

The flag was adopted on July 24, 1913, has a background of colonial blue surrounding a diamond of buff color in which the coat of arms of the state is placed. Below the diamond are the words "December 7, 1787," which is the date Delaware first ratified the United States constitution. The shades of buff and colonial blue represent those of the uniform of General George Washington. Inside the diamond, the flag recognizes the importance of commerce{the ship}and agriculture{wheat, corn, the ox and the farmer}to the state. Tribute is also paid to the revolutionary war soldiers. The words in the ribbon banner read Liberty and Independence. The state anthem is “Our Delaware” written by George B. Hynson and composed by M. S. Brown. With this video you can see the flag and hear the anthem. Good for all students.

This two-minute video is about what caused Arnold to be treated as a traitor despite his outstanding record in defense of the colonies. The video does not tell what caused him to give the British information or the way he was treated by George Washington. At best an overview of this brilliant leader who feel to temptation. A good video to show students how his great deeds have been overshadowed by his actions.

From encyclopedia.com: News of the battles of Lexington and Concord (April 17, 1775) in Massachusetts, the first battles of the Revolution, reached Arnold in April 1775. Upon hearing of these events he set out as the head of a company of Connecticut militia for Cambridge, Massachusetts, where George Washington (1732–1799) was gathering an army to fight the British forces. Although he marched to Massachusetts without military orders to do so, Arnold was soon given an official mission. His first military engagement was the attack the next month on Fort Ticonderoga in northeastern New York, where the British had a supply of artillery, a type of large-caliber weaponry that includes cannons. The attack operation was successful, but Arnold got little of the credit for this success. Credit went mostly to Ethan Allen (1738–1789) and the troops Allen commanded, known as the Green Mountain Boys. [The life of Ethan Allan is covered in the Dec 28th 2014 episode; The Green Mountain Boys are covered in the April 13th 2014 episode]…Personally hurt by Congress's treatment and badly in need of money, he had begun to pass information on American troop movements and strength of units to the British in exchange for money as early as May or June of 1779. ..However, Arnold's plan fell through when his contact,
the British spy Major John André (1750–1780), was captured on September 21, 1780, with documents that showed Arnold was a traitor. André was hanged and Arnold fled to the British lines.
Arnold spent the rest of the war in a British uniform fighting his own countrymen.
