Listen "DDH - The Garden Hose"
Episode Synopsis
On March 11, 1941, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the **Lend-Lease Act**, a move that provided billions in aid to Allied nations and pushed the U.S. closer to World War II—without a formal declaration. But just three years earlier, the **Ludlow Amendment** nearly changed everything, proposing a **national referendum before America could go to war**. In this episode, we explore how FDR fought to kill the amendment, why most Americans supported it, and how its passage could have altered history. Would the U.S. have entered WWII at all? Join us as we unpack one of history’s biggest **"what-ifs."**
