We’re told the American Revolution was a fight for freedom—but for many, it was just the beginning of betrayal. In this episode of Before Slavery, Dr. Rose breaks down what liberty really looked like in 1776—for Native nations whose land was stolen, for Africans still enslaved, and for women expected to sacrifice everything while receiving nothing in return.Through truth-telling, ancestor-style commentary, and just the right amount of shade, we dig into the myth of freedom—and the cost paid by the forgotten.🎧 Chapters include:The Declaration Wasn’t for EveryoneIndigenous DispossessionFreedom for Whom?The Women Left BehindWho Paid for IndependenceThe Price of Selective Freedom✊🏽 This is Burden of History.

In today’s episode, we step back in time—before 1492—to honor the lives, cultures, and contributions of the First Americans. Long before European ships touched the shore, thriving Native nations built powerful civilizations filled with wisdom, resistance, and spiritual depth. We explore the empires, science, city-building, and oral traditions that existed—and how colonization tried to erase them. Featuring powerful words from Chief Joseph and Red Jacket, this episode reminds us: history didn’t begin with colonization—it was interrupted by it. 🔔 Subscribe and share if this moved you. 🎙 Support the show:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/2505333/support Send us Fan MailSupport the show🎙️ Subscribe to Burden of History: The Podcast Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and YouTube📲 Follow us on all platforms: @BurdenOfHistory 💌 Have a story or idea to share?
