The American Revolution wasn’t just a fight for liberty. It was
also a sprawling conflict with Indigenous nations over who would
control the continent of North America. And to stake out their
claim, the United States was willing to commit genocide. Rebecca
talks to Maggie Blackhawk (Ojibwe) about how our country’s early
treatment of Native Americans is the root of authoritarianism in
the United States.
