036: The Birth of a Dream and a Revolution

Episode Notes

After a year of our series on American History, we have reached the beginning of THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. In this episode we talk about influence of John Locke's ideas on the Declaration of Independence, finish the story of Lexington and Concord, and the British response to needing more manpower. Along the way we discuss the draft, discuss cults, and define what the Minute Men were.
