Happy REAL declaration of independence day! 250 years ago, on 4/19/1775, thousands of average Americans, acting on their own local initiative, confronted the Redcoats & declared their independence with blood & bullets. (The fancy powdered-wig guys in Philly would take almost 15 months to catch up & declare it with ink & parchment.) To commemorate, I've just reissued Dangerous History Ep. 59 (made a decade ago!), which is part II of my American Revolution series. image
