SNAFU with Ed Helms · Lord Dunmore and the Proclamation That Ignited Revolution (with Bob Crawford of The Avett Brothers) · 1 Apr 2026 podcast

A reality show.

Yeah.

This is the moment of critical mass.

Well, yeah, right.

This is when everything's about to hit the fan.

And so we think of the Revolutionary War as a revolutionary war, but as Ken Burns recently pointed out with his massive series that came out about the American Revolution, the Revolutionary War was actually a civil war.

And the civil war was a revolution.

And so if you think about that,

You had, you probably at this point in Virginia, in the Tidewater, you had probably had one plantation where they were ready to, you know, cast off the crown and seeking independence because people who lived in the colonies for many years, they were left alone and they wanted to be left alone.

So they were happy with the king as long as he wasn't,

taxing the paper or the tea or all of that kind of stuff.

But then you had those people, probably neighbors, who were diehard crown.

Like they were ride or die crown.

So this is probably where we are, where the tensions are building and it's a which side are you on moment.

By the way, if you're listening to this, you can go see the Capitol building where Dunmore, the royal whatever they call it.

The governor's palace.

The Dunmore's palace.

It's all there.

Wow.
