AR-SP11 Independence Day Live

I discuss the events leading up to independence, how the colonies made that dangerous leap to fight for independence.

I also speak with Jason Mandresh of "Founder of the Day" founderoftheday.com or https://www.youtube.com/founderoftheday and Lee Wright from History Camp historycamp.org or thehistorylist.com.
