America is a country born out of violent revolution, but fortunately it's been smooth sailing since then, with no real problems to speak of. Grave Gang takes a look at 2002's Liberty's Kids, PBS' futile effort to get millennial children to care about an educational history cartoon that doesn't have gruesome violence. We talk about the Founding Fathers giving a big internet shrug emoji to slavery; a boy seeking revenge on the lightning that killed his parents; Ben Stiller's questionable decision to give a flattering portrayal of one of history's greatest monsters; and Ben Franklin's eternal battle with gall stones.
