  BONUS: Getting in Ship Shape: Forming the Continental Navy

  Apr 15, 202641 minS2

  <p>The colonies had maritime experience—they had sailed with the British Navy, they had operated on privateering vessels—but they didn’t have a navy of their own.

  <p>Critical ideas about enlightenment that I think people can miss. It's all about learning, doing better progress. And progress requires virtue. It requires a commitment to civic society.
