(MINI) The Controversy of the Korean War Memorial

For this week's Minisode, we lost Canden but have Dan to explain the latest controversy swirling around the new addition to the Korean War Memorial on the Mall in Washington, DC. $22 million dollars to make an addition to add all the names of those lost in the war, making it more like the Vietnam Veterans' War Memorial nearby.  What could be wrong with that?  Lots!

The Tragedy of Leo Frank

The sad case of Leo Frank is a good window into the supposedly "New South" of the early 20th century.  Join Becca and Rebecca as they delve into the horrific case of a young girl brutally murdered in Atlanta, a case that ultimately would lead directly to both the creation of civil rights mainstay the Anti-Defamation League, and the reformation of the KKK in Georgia.

The Beating of Charles Sumner

As the anniversary of the January 6th attack on the Capitol rolls around, join The Rebeccas as they look at another episode of violence at the Capitol by examining the case of Rep. Preston Brooks beating Sen. Charles Sumner on the floor of the Senate in the few years preceding the Civil War.  Learn about what lead up to this terrible incident, and also what the reactions of citizens across the country meant for the immediate future of the United States. 

Washington Crossing the Delaware: A Feel Good Christmas Story

As we finish up our third year, the Rebeccas cover the amazing story of General George Washington's clever plan to launch a sneak attack against the wintering British Army in Trenton, New Jersey right before Christmas, making it a wonderful American Christmas tale....just like Die Hard is an American Christmas movie!
