In this episode Tracy DW presents her perspective on arguably the most significant event in America's history. An event which saw the original 13 colonies transition into the 50 states we see today. A transition that cost the lives and land rights of many in order to benefit the few. Tracy also presents her own explanation as to why she thinks this is so inextricably linked to Britain's colonial past. You can find out more by clicking on the link
