Among the topics - legroom politics, cold fried chicken, consumer rights, cargo politics, Carter's legislative ability or lack of it, champagne denial, mistreated pets, and the deregulator now wearing a robe at SCOTUS.

    KEN BURNS AMERICAN REVOLUTION DOCUMENTARY - A FEW THOUGHTS
    Nov 30 2025
    No I don't think the Iroquois Confederacy influenced th Revolution much. (Nor do I think Burns says this). And I take a little issue with American Revolution as a Civil War theory. (If it was merely that, it would have been quickly settled). Sponsored by: The University of Aberdeen: https://on.abdn.ac.uk/online-history-courses/ Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Forgotten Forage War of 1777: Realities of the Revolution
    Nov 29 2025

And it happened in New Jersey (we should be clear with a large contingent of soldiers from all across the Eastern Seaboard).
