In this episode of 'Stories to be tolled', Tracy DW embarks on an exploration of the evolution of America from 13 colonies to a global superpower. She delves into the remarkable journey that began with the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the establishment of a constitutional republic, highlighting the foundational principles of liberty, democracy, and the American Dream.

As she examines the complexities of American democracy, she raises critical questions about the current state of civil liberties and the alarming signs of democratic backsliding.

Listeners are invited to reflect on whether the United States can reclaim its status as the land of the free and the home of the brave, or if it is destined to confront a potential nightmare. This episode serves as a compelling reminder of the ongoing struggle for democracy and the importance of civic engagement in safeguarding the ideals upon which the nation was built.
