About this episode
In this episode, we set the table for our discussion of the American Revolution.
Special Thanks to "A History of the American People" by Paul Johnson for providing most of the content for this episode. Please check out his book if you want to learn US history. It is the best book I have found on the topic. Also thanks to Wikipedia and Google Gemini for filling in additional details for the story.
Thanks to our monthly supporters- Dan
