American history teacher Nathan Greene looked at the list of presidents on his bulletin board. How did Benedict Arnold become the second president of the United States? Who the heck was Shippen Jefferson? Where was John Adams?
Had Greene and his high school students inadvertently changed history with their "field trip" to Philadelphia in 1776? There had been no such repercussions the previous spring when Greene took his class to Ford's Theater for the fateful performance of "Our American Cousin" on the evening of April 14, 1865.
But somehow the Philadelphia field trip had caused a "butterfly effect" in the historical timeline, evicting John Adams from the White House and erasing the prominence of the Adams family from American history.
