About this episode
The episode discusses the Declaration of Independence, its historical context, and the justification for the colonists' separation from England.
In this week's episode, I read through the Declaration of Independence and explain the historical context of each grievance. I also discuss whether or not the colonists had sufficient reasons to "divorce" England. I wonder how many Americans today would side with the colonists?
