Most of us learned a simplified version a single moment, a single document, and a few famous names. But history is hardly that clean. In this conversation, we're going to dig into what was written before the declaration. What unalienable rights really meant in its original forming, and how certain myths became common knowledge over time. We'll also look at the overlooked contributors across class, race and gender whose influence and sacrifice shape the era, even if their names didn't make it into the textbooks. Joining us today is Charles Castleberry, historian, author and constitutional researcher whose work focuses on America's founding era and the ideas that shaped the Declaration of Independence. He's the author of "The Declaration's Forgotten Liberties," a book that uncovers overlooked documents, people and principles that directly influenced Thomas Jefferson's pen, challenging long standing myths while restoring historical context, often missing from modern education.
