American Revolution Part 5: Declaration of Independence
In this episode, we take a look at the first and second continental congresses and how the British American colonies went from wanting to fight for their rights as English citizens to breaking away from the mother country. We look at the politics shaping the argument in Congress and the writing of the document itself along with a little history of the document going forward.
