About this episode
Episode #184
Only about a third of colonists supported the American Revolution—another third stayed loyal to Britain, and the rest remained neutral. If a motivated minority could overthrow an empire and reshape history, what does that mean for today? This episode challenges the assumption that because most Americans aren't extremists, we're safe from extremism taking hold. Majority comfort might be the wrong measure of democratic safety.
