Ep 1319 | What History Didn’t Teach You About America’s Fight for Religious Freedom
Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian step into the origins of America in celebration of the approaching 250th anniversary. The guys explore the courage, faith, and conviction that drove a small group of people to leave everything behind in search of religious freedom. As they walk through the Pilgrims’ journey, the harsh realities of the Mayflower, and the formation of America’s first self-governance, they reflect on overlooked stories of faith, bravery and how the American spirit was forged through both belief and struggle.

More about Colonial America:
The American Founding is the greatest political achievement in history. The republic founded in the wake of revolution did not appear or succeed by chance. It was the product of the habits of self-government and the virtuous character that the Americans had formed during their colonial experience. This is the story of those first 150 years during which our forefathers carved civilization out of wilderness.
In this documentary course, Hillsdale professors of politics and history explain the religious, political, cultural, and economic disputes that shaped a uniquely American culture. Discover how our ancestors forged a prosperous society and developed the manly spirit of republicanism.
In "Colonial America: From Wilderness to Civilization," professors of history and politics guide us through the perilous journey of the Mayflower and the grueling winters of Cape Cod. They explore the ideas of religious liberty and natural rights, as well as the brutal conflicts, such as the wars on the frontier and the French and Indian War. Through this appreciation of the colonial experience, you will learn how the unique American spirit was shaped.
