(Ep 27) Illegal Liquor, Fast Cars, Taxes, & War: More on the Race & Labor Rabbit Hole

Rednecks Rising

In this week's belated episode, we go for more adventures down the rabbit hole of race & labor -- but this time, we brought liquor and fast cars! We travel back to the 1600s together and follow the journey of homemade liquor throughout time and space, and just about every war since colonization began. We touch on the Whiskey Rebellion, the role of Roy Hall in the development of NASCAR, the political campaigns that led to the prohibition era, and just about everything else that we can squeeze into an hour.
