I didn’t have this in the podcast, but every 4th of July for the past few years I have watched this. It helps me understand what was happening during the time of the American Revolution. I’m not a big fan of war, killing people, or treating people poorly, but also, I think it is hard for us to understand oppression within the current structure we are lucky enough to live in. Take whatever you can from the video, I hope you like it:
