  1. If you want an American equivalent of a moment in history, see "1776". A musical, but drawn from the Congressional Record, personal letters and writings, family accounts, etc. Then read the book of the play, so many remarkable coincidences. You may know that Jefferson and Adams died on July 4th, 1826, fifty years to the day of independence. But in the play, Adams says about slavery "mark my words, if we give in on this, history will not forgive us". In real life, Adams said "mark my words, if we give in on this, history will not forgive us 100 years hence". Almost 100 years later the Civil War occurred.
