1:06Now PlayingThe wildest stories of the American Revolution are the ones nobody bothered to tell you. It wasn’t just noble speeches — it was frostbite, misfires, egos, and disasters.
Join The Fifth Column’s Matt Welch to unpack American History in all its ugly glory in the new miniseries The Revolutionaries, where he speaks with historians, podcasters, and other oddballs to tell us some crazy, misunderstood, and lesser-known stories about our awesome if not exactly crystal-pure revolutionary past. The idea is not only to learn new (and fun!) history, but also pick away a bit at the historiography – why some important characters and stories get forgotten.
