Episode description
Have you ever read the Declaration of Independence? Not just the "all men are created equal" part, but the whole thing?
If you have, then you've noticed that most of the Declaration is simply a list of complaints against King George III. And some of those complaints seem odd to modern ears. Especially the last one, about "domestic insurrections."
What insurrections? By whom? Rob Parkinson of Binghamton University tells us all about it.
