How We Got Here

Nov 25 2019 • 48 mins

In this episode of How We Got Here, we relive the fiery death of the oldest electric streetcar system in America. We also introduce you to a slave-turned-spy-turned-folk hero who had to fight for his own freedom after American independence. And, as you start to think about Thanksgiving this year – we’ve got the low down on how it all began (in Virginia…sorry Massachusetts). Plus, we’ll explore how it became illegal in Virginia to duel to the death – and the politician who skirted the law to kill a member of his family! And finally, an army of rebels topples the mightiest power in the world at Yorktown.
