Welcome to episode 1 of our new series: American Rebellion! This week, we're going all the way back to the 1600s (so yes, not technically "America" yet, but you get it) to talk about Bacon's Rebellion. We'll take a look at what led up to the rebellion, what went down, and if Bacon was the hero or villain of the story.
