The Regulators Rebellion

Footnotes of a Republic tells the small-print history of America's first century — the strange, dark, and humanizing stories that don't make it into the parade version. Each 20-minute episode is a self-contained deep dive into one overlooked event: prison ships, duels, lost conspiracies, frontier massacres, the backroom deals that shaped the Constitution, the sidebars that broke the union, and the people history forgot to mention.

Hosted by Wes Calloway.

A show for the historically curious — the people who finished the textbook and wanted the footnotes.
