America has far too many "patriots" and "good guys" clouding the hearts and minds of the average Americans. No one wants to tell the truth, because we rather believe we're "great again". Someone has to tell the truth. Someone has to be honest, even if no one wants to hear it. Someone has to be the Villain. Hosted by Thomas Bishop. A Ghost Claw Production.

This searing story of slavery and freedom in the Chesapeake reveals the pivot in the nation’s path between the founding and civil war. Frederick Douglass recalled that slaves living along Chesapeake Bay longingly viewed sailing ships as "freedom’s swift-winged angels." In 1813 those angels appeared in the bay as British warships coming to punish the Americans for declaring war on the empire. Drawn from new sources, Alan Taylor's riveting narrative re-creates the events that inspired black Virginians, haunted slaveholders, and set the nation on a new and dangerous course.
