Winning independence was only the beginning. How did George Washington turn a divided country into a nation? On this episode of Revolution 250, Professor Robert Allison welcomes Nathaniel Philbrick to discuss Travels with George: In Search of Washington and His Legacy. Retracing Washington’s presidential journeys with his wife, Melissa, and their dog, Dora, Philbrick uncovers stories of local pride, political division, and the enduring contradictions of liberty and slavery. Join us for a lively conversation about the people who preserve our past—and why Washington’s struggle to hold America together still matters.
