158. The American Revolution: Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of Happiness (Ep 3)
Category: History
Duration: 00:58:56
Publish Date: 2024-06-10 23:00:00
Description:

The Declaration of Independence establishes the ideals on which this break away nation founds itself on. But it’s full of contradictions. It complains of white colonists being enslaved by King George III, yet its signatories own enslaved Africans. It declares all men are created equal, but what about women? Listen as Anita and William are joined by Maya Jasanoff as they explore the war, from the evacuation of Boston, to the battle of Yorktown.
