About this episode
David and Loremaster Bryan8063 continue their special coverage of the PBS Ken Burns miniseries The American Revolution with immediate reactions to the second episode. The discussion explores Burns' careful navigation of politically sensitive material, the Declaration of Independence as a radical and inspiring idea that resonated with enslaved peoples, women, and Native Americans, and how tyranny and barbarity ultimately backfire. The hosts examine the emergence of American identity among diverse colonial populations united by a single revolutionary concept: living under a government of their own choosing.
