## Resource

Malcolm Gladwell, the celebrated author and podcast host, just dropped a bombshell. His 'Revisionist History' podcast dives deep into what was once America's largest secession movement since the Civil War. Disillusioned residents of Staten Island nearly split from New York City. Gladwell uncovers the overlooked story of this dramatic, almost successful, political divorce. It's a fascinating look at forgotten history and a city's tumultuous past.
