The Year That Made America: Crisis, Courage & 1776

What does it take to keep a revolution alive when everything is falling apart? In this episode, we dive into David McCullough's 1776 — the story of the year American independence was declared and nearly destroyed in the same breath. From the catastrophic defeat at Long Island to Washington's legendary Christmas crossing of the Delaware, we trace the razor-thin margin between a nation born and a revolution crushed. If you think democracy feels fragile today, wait until you hear how close it came to ending before it ever really began. History, courage, and a lesson for our times — history is cool--learn about it.
