Episode description as stored

Here at Slow Burn, we explore the events and people who shaped America as we know it today. As the country marks its 250th birthday this summer, we want to introduce you to the first installment of First America , a great podcast series that explores a truly consequential moment from our nation’s past. We have been told the American Revolution was fought over taxation and representation. First America reveals the real story of why the colonists rebelled, what kind of government they created, and how it led to America’s current political moment. Hosted by Rebecca Nagle, an Indigenous author and former host of Crooked Media’s This Land podcast, the series looks at the hunger for Indigenous land that fueled the American Revolution—and questions how an entire country missed the point of its own founding document. The show's first episode takes its title from the lesser-known last grievance in the Declaration of Independence. Listen to “Merciless Indian Savages,” from First America —and find the rest of the series wherever you get podcasts. Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?
