How much is a 1776 1976 good condition half dollar worth?
Q. I have a good condition half dollar that says 1776 1976 & I was wondering how much it was worth. Some people said you have to know the mint or something but I don't know how to find that out. I also have a 1964 Silver Dollar [in good condition]. How much would those both be worth?

A. Unless it is a proof or in perfect uncirculated condition a Kennedy Half Dollar will not be worth much unless it is 1964-1970 when they were made with silver. The location of the mint mark depends on the year. Yours is a 1976 bicentennial which would have the mint mark on the face of the coin above the second and third numbers in the date. If there is no mint mark it is considered a P because it was minted in Philadelphia. A mint mark of a D means Denver. You might want to take a closer look at your "dollar" coin. The dollar coins minted in 1964 were all melted down. Rumor has that there are some that survived but it is illegal to own them. So if you really do have one I'd keep it to yourself.

How is it possible the Pencey graduates of 1776 come to visit?
Q. In The Catcher in the Rye, page 168 Holden claims 'They have this day, Veteran's Day, that all the jerks that graduated from Pencey around 1776 come back and walk all over the place, with their wives and children and everybody.' Obviously, this is impossible as anyone then would be over 100 years old. And the guy he is specifically talking about he says is around 50. Was this an error? Or Holden's sarcasticly humourus use of exaggeration?

A. Hello there, The spirit of the American Revolution was to rid the people of a government imposing its will on the people. That government, of course, was the King of England. When the founders of the country took on the task of setting up a government in here, they did not establish a strong federal government. To have done so, would have gone against the sentiments that lead to the revolutions. They just threw off one strong central government and did not want to substitute with another. Therefore, under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government was weak and the local governments of the states were strong. Through the years that American operated under the Articles of Confederation, various concerns arose. The federal… [cont.]

Q. How did the events between 1776 and 1787 influence the development of American democracy?
Asked by iSkate - Fri Oct 16 22:07:05 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The different acts that were imposed on the colonists by England led them to the point of rebellion, and eventaully to declare their independence. Having won the Revolutionary War, they focused on the task of establishing a government. They did not want to duplicate the powers of the monarchy of England. Therefore, when the Articles of Confederation were written, they intentionally gave more power to the states, and not to the central government. Unfortunately, the weakness of the central government created problems: 1) Under the Articles there was only a unicameral legislature so that there was no separation of powers. 2) The central government under the Articles was too weak since the majority of the power rested with the states. 3)… [cont.]

A. 1776 was when the final break came between countries. The Tea Party and the Intolerable Acts would have come before then. Events of '76 would have included the siege of Boston, the Bunker Hill battle, and the posting of Ticonderoga cannon on the heights around the city that made it impossible for the British to hold the city. buckeye

Asked by Infinity - Sun Apr 4 03:08:46 2010 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You first need to realize that there was precious little in the way of public education outside of some of the New England colonies. Massachusetts, in particular, required that both boys and girls learn to at least read and write; this was a part of their Puritan beliefs, for they strongly adhered to the idea that everyone needed to be able to read the Bible for him- or herself. Second, the education was not usually secular, because most schools were sponsored by religious groups such as the Mennonites, Presbyterians, Quakers, and the Church of England. Third, the wealthy often hired private tutors for their children. The girls were usually given only rudimentary instruction in reading, writing, and simple arithmetic, which was… [cont.]

Asked by caveman - Thu Jul 30 05:49:58 2009 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments

A. why do you assume that such ideals came from religion? The bible supports slavery, not freedom, subservience not independence, obedience not democracy and offers very mixed views about riches and prosperity. These ideas come from 18th Century philosophers and the enlightenment, not religion. In particular the work of Adam Smith (The Theory of Moral Sentiment, 1759 and the Weath of Nations, March 1776) seems to have influenced the American economy. Smith and many of the "founding fathers" seem to have been deists not christians. In 1776 followers of native American religion far outnumbered christians in North America, but their freedom, independence, prosperity and democratic rights were trampled on by those who claimed to uphold those… [cont.]

Asked by Professor Franklin - Mon Apr 17 03:17:39 2006 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It can only be a guess, of course, but mine is that there would still have been strong enough anti-British feeling for 'states' to become independent sooner rather than later and that there would therefore much be less chance of having a United States of America. Instead, I think there would have been several different 'countries' (think of Texas, Oklahoma etc as independent nations) emerging to occupy the same land mass, and probably with as much chance of forming a coherent unity as European, African, or South American countries have at present. If that scenario has applied then I think the whole world would in fact look very different as there wouldn't have been a unified power capable of keeping the Cold War on ice; things would… [cont.]

A. They didn't know if they could form one nation at that point. They were, after all, 13 colonies. The only thing that united them was their drive for independence. When the war was over, they tried to become one nation under the Articles of Confederation and it failed. The Constitution and George Washington as president came later.

A. During the specified time period Americans were moving strongly towards being a uniquely different people. There were a multitude of reasons for this such as; 1. America was a different geographic setting than Europe. It was warmer, colder, bigger, wetter, drier, more fertile, had different flora and fauna that caused settlers to adapt to different conditions and thus become different themselves. 2. America was a combination of several different ethnic groups. Englishmen, Irishmen, Scotsmen, Welshmen, Frenchmen, Spaniards, Portuguese, Italians, Germans, Native Americans and Africans mixed into a population (the last two not so much) that reflected bits and pieces of language and culture that were to become uniquely American. 3.
