The American Revolution is one of the most retold stories in history—and one of the least understood. Revolution Revisited digs past the familiar names and dates to explore the lesser-known figures, contested ideas, and surprising turns that shaped the founding era. Produced by the Virginia Museum of History & Culture as a companion to its exhibition Give Me Liberty: Virginia & The Forging of a Nation, the podcast brings together historians, authors, and experts to examine key figures both celebrated and overlooked—from George Washington to printer Clementina Rind. Each episode explores artifacts, arguments, and perspectives that connect the 18th century to the world we live in now.
