Distinguished American history professor Dr. Robert Watson of Lynn University joins hosts Michael Williams and Brian Crowley for a wide-ranging conversation on America’s 250th anniversary. Watson, a Smithsonian fellow and author of Declaration, argues the nation faces its gravest threat since the Civil War — and draws on the founders’ own fears to explain why.
Topics include the founding principles of cooperation, compromise and consensus; slavery’s role in the Declaration and Constitution; Lincoln’s Gettysburg framing; the Electoral College; social media algorithms and the collapse of critical thinking; the erosion of local journalism; and what’s being planned for the national commemoration.
