Episode 4: The Road to Independence – Why 1776 Mattered

Welcome to Our Republic

Today, we’re diving into why 1776 actually mattered. Spoiler: it’s not just because America got a really expensive birthday party with fireworks. Nope. It’s because everything leading up to that year was like a slow-motion car crash—everybody saw it coming, everybody knew it was gonna be ugly, and then BOOM—1776. Independence. Revolution. Whole new nation.

“Here’s the thing — America didn’t just wake up one morning and say, ‘You know what, screw Britain, let’s do our own thing.’ This was decades in the making.
