In the last edition of The Rabbit Hole, we discussed tyrants throughout history and what their motivations may have been. We examined the life of General William Walker and his war campaign to become the President of Nicaragua and the actions of Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan.

This week, we look at individuals who have tried to carve out their own minor kingdoms of either land or influence. And perhaps show that the heart of man, despite technology, despite millennia of civilization, has not really changed.

All this and more on The Rabbit Hole: Politics and Prose, a LibertyNation.com production.
