Ep 1329 | The Robertsons Warn What Happens When God Is Removed from Human Rights

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian take an honest look at America’s imperfect founding. As they continue their Hillsdale series, they examine the tension between liberty and slavery and how flawed motives shaped the early nation. But even in the middle of it, a deeper truth emerges: true freedom doesn’t come from government—it comes from God. That idea, rooted in natural law, would go on to shape everything from the Declaration of Independence to the fight for civil rights.

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 six-lesson appreciation of the colonial experience, you will learn how the unique American spirit was shaped.
