Kościuszko's Mound: The Soil of Two Continents

Tadeusz Kościuszko is known as a Polish and American hero, but his story is more complex than the statues suggest. This episode follows his journey from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's struggle for independence, through his engineering feats in the American Revolution—like the fortifications at Saratoga and West Point—to his return to lead the 1794 Kościuszko Uprising (Insurekcja Kościuszkowska) in Poland. We discuss his radical views on serfdom, his close friendship with Thomas Jefferson, his will freeing slaves, and his posthumous legacy including the Mound in Kraków and the still-unresolved mystery of his remains. Lucas and Luna explore how one man's life bridges two revolutions and why he remains a symbol of freedom across continents. #TadeuszKościuszko #KościuszkoUprising #InsurekcjaKościuszkowska #AmericanRevolution #PolishHistory #WestPoint #BattleOfSaratoga #ThomasJefferson #BattleOfRacławice #Serfdom #PolishNobleman #Kraków #KościuszkoMound #PolandHistory #History #FexingoHistory #EasternEurope #RevolutionaryWar Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
