Rush Revere here. I can’t wait to rush, rush, rush to history with our next adventure: a trip back in time to the first days of our country on its own two legs, free from British rule—u003cbru003e u003cbru003eWhat’s that, Liberty?u003cbru003e u003cbru003e Liberty wants me to say on its own u003ciu003efouru003c/iu003e legs.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e Anyway, as I was saying—free from British rule and creating a new government for the people, by the people. When one of the time-traveling crew from Manchester Middle School decides to run for student-body president, I take them back to meet our first three presidents and first ladies.u003cbru003e u003cbru003eSo, join us as we head back to those amazing and important first years, when we got to make all the decisions. Turns out, it’s pretty hard to lead a whole new country! We had to make new rules for America and set the path for the country we would grow up to be. And who better to be our first-ever leader than the general who won the war—George Washington!u003cbru003e u003cbru003eHe was the father of our country and made some incredible decisions that still affect how we live our lives today! But even so, President Washu00adington knew that he couldn’t stay president forever or we might end up with a king, just like England.u003cbru003e u003cbru003eWe’ll watch as he makes his tough decision to step down to spend more time with Martha Washington and his adopted grandchildren, Nelly and Wash.u003cbru003e u003cbru003eThen we’ll saddle up and ride into the presidency of John Adams, who followed in some very big footsteps with the help of his accomplished wife, Abigail. Then we’ll rush, rush, rush to the year 1803, when Thomas Jefferson continues the mission of creating America by making a risky decision to buy a lot of land from the French in the Louisiana Purchase, which more than doubles our size!u003cbru003e u003cbru003eUsing advice from the early presidents, first ladies, and a former U.S. congressman, the crew works to defeat an old nemesis. The question is— will it be enough?u003cbru003e u003cbru003eWhat are you waiting for? Bring your curiosity and let’s giddyup!
