1780s: Newspapers. Man writes with quill pen. Men speak.
United States 1780s: Archival footage opens with double-exposed newspaper pages, including "The Independent Journal" and "The Federalist" broadsheets, superimposed over a faint portrait of a man. The scene transitions to a costume drama depicting men in colonial-era attire, including powdered wigs, a military uniform with epaulettes and sword, and formal coats, standing near an American flag as one writes with a quill pen. The men are shown conversing, with a third figure joining the exchange in a doorway setting.
