They Were Real People, Too (The Patriots)

For Episode 3, we're shaking things up!

If you think American politics today is too divisive, then it's time for a little perspective from some folks who lived through an actual civil war. Along with my wife and special guest, Emily, we're going back through time to the days of the American Revolution--a war that was far more complicated, high-strung, and gut-wrenching than most of us realize.

In this episode, we'll explore the compelling stories of patriots you've probably never heard of. Along the way, we'll discover an important truth: being all on the same side doesn't make you all the same.
