Excellent podcast.I am a family historian with some famous ancestors starting from 1653 New Utrecht Brooklyn and Rev War .To understand life under Tyranny and under a Kings rule.

Try visiting Brooklyn “ Prison Ship monument “ in Fort Green and over 11,500 Rev War prisoners perished and left to rot in British Prison ships off Brooklyns Fort Green . Took 75 years to recover the buried dead from the shallow grave along the East River.

And under British rule the occupation of Long Island was brutal and ruthless. If you wonder why the Bill of Rights was written. It was from the abuse of living under British Tyranny's.

The Hessian were nicer!
