Crossing the Deleware that year happened on a warm day. most of the 1700s was warmer climate while the 1800s had a much colder one. Many Volcanos erupted in the 1800s, lots of Siesmic Activities on the Circle of Fire Fault zones. but the 1700s was said to have been a mild year, year round.
So what if our Forefathers were mainly guys just talking up politics but then drank a lot. had crazy parties. maybe indulged in hallucinogens and people like Ben Franklin just like fucking with Lightening and science shit more for a learning rush than writing serious documentations on it.
What if it was more like the 1978 movie Animal House but not a college Fraternity just a Party every weekend. at least until the Revolutionary war, where they didn't fight every day. they had women and booze and joked about shit.
