In this episode and on this Independence Day weekend, PPFA implores you to do your patriotic duty and learn about the document that founded the United States. This episode:
addresses who actually wrote the Declaration of Independence (1:40);
recalls whose ideas that person ripped off (9:00);
reveals a surprising fact about July 4 as perhaps the wrong day to celebrate independence (12:50);
lists a breakdown of the misleading John Trumbull painting of the founding fathers about to sign the Declaration (14:30);
and considers whether or not the document actually created a new country (18:00).
The episode even has PPFA's first and likely last attempt at working a footnote into a podcast.
