Talkernate History's video: Talkernate History - Alternate American Revolutions

This episode, we discuss the American Revolution. We spend a great deal of time analyzing many "what-if"s of the conflict. Was the war inevitable? Could America have lost? What if Washington died during the war? What if Benedict Arnold never betrayed his country? Could America have devolved into dictatorship before the war was even complete? In addition to these relevant topics of discussion, we also meander into many, many tangents. We can't help ourselves!
