  • S2:E8 - Mercy Otis Warren: Heart and Soul of the American Revolution

    S2:E8 - Mercy Otis Warren: Heart and Soul of the American Revolution
    Mar 24 2022
    When someone mentions the furnishers of the American Revolution, they are usually referring to Samuel Adams or Paul Revere. These men capitalized on the abuse of authority perpetrated by the British to popularize rebellion. However, the most effective individual to furnish the revolution is perhaps the most forgotten. Mercy Otis Warren used entertainment and satire to provide levity in people's lives while feeding them a more subtle message about liberty and tyranny. This helped grow revolutionary sentiment, and even after the war, it allowed her to popularize liberty in the new republic. In this Season 2 finale, hear how Mercy Otis Warren risked life, liberty, sacred honor, and her deepest friendships in pursuit of liberty. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • S2:E7 - Anne Hutchinson Holds Self-Evident Truths

    S2:E7 - Anne Hutchinson Holds Self-Evident Truths
    Mar 17 2022
    Anne Hutchinson's story is perhaps one of the most quintessentially American tales of virtue, sacrifice, civil disobedience, and resistance. She stood against oppression on two separate continents and on both occasions she was forced to flee because she wouldn't back down. Anne laid the foundation for the freedom of speech, the right to assembly, and the right to worship as one deems appropriate. Few in American history had given so much and gotten so little in return. Yet, her story is largely forgotten throughout history. This episode of Profiles in Liberty attempts to elevate her to her proper historical prominence. She was a martyr of freedom and America's first true foremother. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • S2:E6 - Abigail Adams Urges America To 'Remember The Ladies!'

    S2:E6 - Abigail Adams Urges America To 'Remember The Ladies!'
    Mar 10 2022
    Behind every great man, there is an equally great woman. At least, so it is said. No matter how accurate it is, this was certainly the case with John and Abigail Adams. Abigail's constant love, loyalty, friendship, and companionship allowed John to push the nation toward independence at a time when nobody would stand with him. Abigail's advice would oftentimes go on to shape the history of this nation. Thus, she served as the backbone in more than just the life of John Adams. Abigail was, in many ways, the backbone of the infant American nation. Just as she continued to advocate for greater equality of the races and sexes to her husband, she served as the leading voice for the liberation of all people in a time when women had hardly a voice in the first place. For these reasons and more, she comfortably sits in history as THE Founding Mother. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
