As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Tudor Dixon takes a fascinating journey back to the founding of the United States with Dr. Matthew Spalding, Kirby Professor in Constitutional Government at Hillsdale College and author of The Making of the American Mind. Together, they uncover the dramatic, often-overlooked stories behind the American Revolution — from Caesar Rodney’s overnight horseback ride that helped secure independence to the extraordinary moments many believed reflected divine providence during the fight for freedom.

Tudor and Dr. Spalding also explore the deeper ideas that shaped America’s founding: the radical concept that “all men are created equal,” the influence of biblical and classical traditions, the role faith played in the Revolution, and why understanding these stories matters now more than ever. They discuss George Washington’s remarkable leadership, the founders’ views on liberty and government, and how these principles continue to shape the American story today.

If you've ever wondered what really happened during America’s founding—or why the nation’s origins remain so important—this conversation offers a powerful look at the ideas, people, and moments that changed history forever.
