The Grievances in the Declaration (part 2)

Click here to listen to part one of our airing of the grievances if you haven't yet! Today we tackle charges 13-27 against the King, as well as comparisons that have been made between George III and Donald Trump. Our guide is once again Craig Gallagher from Colby-Sawyer College, who breaks down what exactly got the colonists so darn mad. Make sure to listen to our episode on the modern-day effects of the declaration on the Native American community.
