In this episode we look at the Articles of Confederation, and find out if a system of very limited government power is up to the task of leading a country through crises (spoiler... well honestly you don't even need a spoiler there, you know what's going to happen.)

Then we look at how on earth they came up with the constitution, because NO ONE saw it coming.

In this episode we will look at the state of America after the end of the war, and the Articles of Confederation that are now going to be the new foundational documents for a brand new country. They will be the guiding principles that will govern America for at least ...12 years...

...and what a 12 years they're going to be!

In this episode we will look at the way the North American British Colonies took on the greatest military in the world and defeated them single handedly. (Spoiler: they did not do it single handedly and needed at least three other major European powers... plus some angry French Canadians.)

In this episode we will examine the major events that lead to the revolution. Specifically we will look the theory of mercantilism, and how this drove the government to impose a range of taxes upon colonies. We'll also examine how that went for them (spoiler: they didn't like it much.)

Apologies for the poor sound this episode, I am working on solving the issue.
