Listen "DDH – The First American Civil War"
Episode Synopsis
The first American Civil War was every bit as vicious and hate-filled as the second. And… like the second, it eventually resulted in amending the US Constitutional to try and make things better.
It all started when the state of Georgia decided that it wasn’t going to pay the guy who sold their militia supplies during the war.
It led to an intense debate during ratification over the concept of State Sovereignty, then went before the US Supreme Court, where the court… got it “wrong.”
On February 7, 1794, We the People of the United States made that absolutely clear.
Or… did we?
