We're talking all about America, this totally weird wonderful place we're living in, and the ladies of the Revolution that pretty much made it all happen.
In a rush to get this episode out while also trying to start her own fireworks party, SK hasn't finished all the show notes yet - here's some auto generated chapter marker thingies in the meantime:
• rejecting “real America” as a way to control and exclude
• remembering Little Bighorn and following Native American news sources
• putting the Constitution in context with 1776 population and slavery numbers
• Mary Katherine Goddard printing the Declaration with the signers’ names
• Mercy Otis Warren’s warnings about centralized power, courts, and missing rights
• Penelope Barker and the Edenton Tea Party boycott as women’s political power
• Phyllis Wheatley calling out liberty’s hypocrisy through poetry
• Deborah Sampson, battlefield survival, and women in uniform
• Oneida and Black patriot stories that complicate the founding myth
• reclaiming the American Dream as freedom to build your own life
