6/22/202636 min
We’ve all been told the American Revolution was fought over taxation and representation. But that's not what the Declaration of Independence says.

Rebecca sits down with historian Ned Blackhawk (Western Shoshone) to talk about how hunger for Indigenous land drove the Revolution. Welcome to First America, the true story of how the United States came to be, and how our current political moment was 250 years in the making.
