13. The Founding Fathers, Constitution, and Federalist Coup

For a view on patriotism in it's original sense, we must see what the original founders and citizens of the colonies believed. What was the Founding Fathers' beliefs on government? Did the colonial Americans even want a federal government? What was the debate over the Constitution and how did it play out? Who were the Federalists and why do I call their success a coup? This episode covers these topics through the lens of many important documents from the time period... William Bradford's Journal, The Declaration of Independence, The Articles of Confederation, The Constitution, The Federalist Papers, The Bill of Rights, and even a touch on the Emancipation Proclamation. Enjoy.
