Hello ladies and gentlemen, I'm La Curiosa Impertinente and on tonight's episode we're having Jeremiah Lee and Elbridge Carey 00:00:00
who are here to talk about the secrets about the American War of Independence. 00:00:07
Hi guys, how are you? 00:00:14
We are really good, happy that our goal has finally been achieved after all this time fighting for it. 00:00:16
Well, we all know the stories of Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, 00:00:22
but the ones that really interest us are those of those people like you, 00:00:27
rebellious mercants willing to give their lives for a renewed nation. 00:00:31
Can you tell us what leads you to fight for that cause? 00:00:35
Of course! I'm Jeremiah Lee. I was an important merchant of our city, Marblehead. 00:00:38
Originally, I was a loyalist, but it didn't take long for me to join the cause and turn against the British Empire. 00:00:43
I risked an enormous shipping fortune and died as a result of actions on the eve of the Battle of 00:00:50
Lexington and Concord. I was the first rebel leader to give his life in the cause of independence. 00:00:56
Good morning, I am Elbridge Gregory. Unlike Jeremy Ali, I was one of the signers of the United States 00:01:03
Declaration of Independence. I refused to sign the United States Constitution since it did not include 00:01:10
a rights letter which I had been fighting for years. I was born into a wealthy merchant family 00:01:17
in the town of Marblehead. I vocally opposed British colonial policy in 1760 and was active 00:01:24
in the early states of organizing the resistance in the American Revolutionary War. 00:01:32
It is known that the Spanish and French troops played a role that completely conditioned the 00:01:39
independence of your country. What do you have to say about it? 00:01:44
I'm not sure if you knew, but they don't call me La Curiosa Impertinente for nothing. 00:01:48
I knew all the secrets of all the nobles, Spanish mercants. Among them was Diego de 00:01:52
Gardoqui, a mercant from Bilbao who, according to what I have been told, 00:01:58
collaborate with your caste and with whom you two have been in touch with. Can 00:02:03
you go into detail about how you came in contact with him? Oh yes, so to put you in 00:02:08
context, at one point the Continental Congress was running out of money, 00:02:14
provisions, ammunition, weapons, blankets, tents, uniforms and medicines. Our goal 00:02:18
was to defeat the British and for that we needed help and that's why we asked 00:02:25
for help from yours, soldiers and Spanish-speaking citizens and diplomats. 00:02:29
They helped us to obtain everything we needed to fight England and keep the 00:02:34
spirit of independence alive. So yes, the Spaniards helped us a lot and it can be 00:02:38
said that thanks to them, we achieved our great achievement, forming a new nation. 00:02:44
Responding to your question, yes, the information that you have received is true. We have been in 00:02:50
contact with Diego de Gardoqui. As my friend has said, we were lacking many things indispensable 00:02:55
for our fight, so we contacted the Spaniards who agreed to send us everything we needed. Diego de 00:03:01
Gardoqui was a Spanish merchant who supported our cause vehemently. He was the first to send 00:03:07
these much needed materials that's what we had to talk with him to coordinate the arrivals of 00:03:13
supplies blankets weapons to this day and for this very reason we consider him a faithful friend of 00:03:19
the united states i understand this will be the end of the our interview thank you jeremiah and 00:03:27
jerry for sharing the most unpublished details of the american war of independence and in the world 00:03:34
know that the spanish participate in the world and help you before finishing i would like to 00:03:39
tell you a little secret as a gift of gratitude for having come to my program they send provisions 00:03:45
but the reality is that spain and france already support you from the beginning because beginning 00:03:51
because they wanted to weaken their greatest enemy england which was the most powerful naval force 00:03:58
and was blocking the passage for the for the ships thank you very much thank you very much 00:04:04
