Episode 281: Declared Independence (fixed sound)

(Sorry about the sound skipping. Camtasia, which I use for producing these, has a bug that causes skipping on certain file formats.)

Historian Rob McDonald joins us on this Fourth of July week to talk about the events leading up to the founding, and his observation that the Founders thought less that they were declaring independence from Great Britain than that Parliament and the King had effectively declared the colonies independent by failing to fulfill the basic functions of government.
