Comment(s):
- Superboy and the Kents not only travel through time to the American Revolution, but to a parallel Earth. This is suggested by the unfolding of historical events which do not match history. On this parallel Earth, though they arrive a few days before December 16, 1773, the Kents witness Paul Revere's ride (which occurred April 18, 1775), John Hancock signing the Declaration of Independence (August 2, 1776), the cracking of the Liberty Bell (sometime between 1825-1846, and definitely not caused by Superboy), Benjamin Franklin's discovery of electricity (June 10, 1752) and the Boston Tea Party, which actually did occur on December 16, 1773.
