So I was here sort of happily like:
-
'oh, yes, they're posting broadsides,
-
don't buy tea,'
-
and I never really precisely defined
-
what a broadside was.
-
A broadside is actually a single sheet of paper
-
that something is printed on one side
-
and it would have been posted in public
-
or handed out in public in town squares or taverns,
-
and usually they were advertising things
-
or announcing things that were of immediate,
-
pressing importance like immediate news,
