Welcome Back Patriots!
Today I compare now and then, about America being divided - all in under 7 minutes!
Think America’s never been this divided? Think again. In this eye-opening episode, I take you inside the fiery debates of 1776 and 1787 — when our Founding Fathers argued, disagreed, and nearly fell apart.
Yet somehow, they still built the most enduring nation on Earth.
Discover the truth about how they made it work — and what it means for us today.

Today I share a song that I created as part of the Revolutionary Rhythms Music page, which is music about the Revolutionary War. I couldn't find specific songs about founding fathers or battles, so I created my own! We have 5 or so on the website, with more being added frequently.
There will be more songs posted as podcast episodes in between main episodes, and I hope you enjoy them.
This song is about George Washington and you can view the lyrics byclicking here or they are listed below:

Song: General of the Stars
About: George Washington
Lyrics:
In the heart of the struggle he stood tall
With a fire in his eyes and a cannonball
On the field of honor where the brave did fall
Led by a man with courage strong as a wall
George Washington the beacon in the night
He stood for freedom he fought the good fight
From the valleys low to the mountains height
He carved a path with justice burning bright
Through the winter's cold and the summer's blaze
He inspired men with his steadfast gaze
Fought for liberty in the darkest days
Every step he took set the world ablaze
George Washington the beacon in the night
He stood for freedom he fought the good fight
From the valleys low to the mountains height
He carved a path with justice burning bright
He crossed the Delaware in freezing rain
Defied the odds broke the enemy's chain
In the face of fear he knew no disdain
Guided by honor not pursuit of gain
George Washington the beacon in the night
He stood for freedom he fought the good fight
From the valleys low to the mountains height
He carved a path with justice burning bright

Hello Fellow Patriots!
Marquis de Lafayette was a French military hero and political leader who played a key role in both the American Revolution and the French Revolution.
What happened after he left America? Did he take part in the French Revolution? Why was his Farewell Tour to American in 1824 so important for the United States?
I answer these questions, and a lot more, in this Part 2 of 2 conclusion of Marquis de Lafayette.
Get ready to learn about one of history's most fascinating figures, his contributions and one that all Americans should know about.

Episode 46 • Thomas Paine’s Common Sense: A Revolutionary Life and Legacy
Welcome Back Patriots!
Okay, today, we are going to talk about a man that many have heard of, as well as the remarkable impact his words on parchment had on the entire cause, the civilians and more importantly, the Continental Army itself.
I am talking about Thomas Paine. I will discuss his auspicious beginning, we will dive into two of his most famous writings, “The American Crisis” and “Common Sense,” and how well they sold and the impact they had will likely amaze you.
I will also talk about what he did after the war, which did NOT help his popularity any.
Then, I will talk about what happened happened after his death, well, what happened to his body, which is hard to fathom. It’s odd, funny and sad at the same time.
