Summary
Virginia’s forgotten heroes and pivotal moments come to life in this explosive deep dive into American independence—where the first county to vote for freedom, Black heroes at Great Bridge, enslaved sailors building Virginia’s navy, and the “Hercules of Independence” take center stage. Then, Jack Jouett’s daring ride, Jefferson’s vendetta against Norfolk, and the bizarre post-Yorktown dinner reveal the wild, overlooked truths behind the Revolution. This isn’t textbook history—it’s the gritty, human story of the unsung fighters who shaped America. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
