After America won the Revolutionary War, the Continental Army was
disbanded. After the abuses of British soldiers, the founding
fathers didn’t want a big standing army. That small, disorganized
military then went off to fight Indigenous nations and lost.
Rebecca talks with George Ironstack (Myaamia) about how a 15-year
war with the Myaamia Nation forever changed both countries. In
the United States, it is why we have a standing army, why it is
so big, why the president can fight undeclared wars, and why our
country can never seem to end them.
