  • Summary

  • Welcome back!

    If you think American politics today is too divisive, then it's time for a little perspective from some folks who lived through an actual civil war. Along with my wife and special guest, Emily, we're going back through time to the days of the American Revolution--a war that was far more complicated, high-strung, and gut-wrenching than most of us realize.

    In this episode, we dive into the minds of some American Loyalists--those who were loyal to Great Britain during one of the longest wars in American history. Why did they do it? And what happened to them after the war was over? 

    I think you'll be surprised by the stories they have to tell.
