1775: American Flaxseed And The Pending Annihilation Of The Linen Industry

It is March 07, 2025.  The American Revolution Semiquincentennial continues.  The topic of discussion for this video: flaxseed.  Flaxseed is necessary for omega 3, dietary fiber, protein and the manufacture of linen.  In the days preceding the Revolutionary War, the subject of flax-seed was of great concern.   Industry was affected by the pending conflict.  I hold in my hands a publication, The Gentlemen's Magazine For March, 1775.  This particular issue was released to the public in early April 1775.  This week, 250 years ago, on March 03, 1775, a petition was presented.

This video will discuss the matter:
