The American Revolution is kicking off! The Continental Congress tries to reconcile with King George, but he's not having it. Lexington and Concord, Fort Ticonderoga, and the Battle of Bunker Hill all happen before George Washington is appointed commander-in-chief of the Continental Army.

How did we get the Winter Olympics… and how did America get to the Boston Tea Party?

In this episode, we trace the rise of the Winter Games from scattered snow sports to a global event — then jump back to 1620 to follow Colonial America from fragile settlements to full-blown rebellion in 1773.

Ice, empires, taxes, and tea. Two origin stories. One episode.
