In this episode we delve into an inspiring and fascinating thesis put forward by political historian Eli Merritt in his book “Disunion Among Ourselves” that the primary impetus in crafting and fighting for the American Declaration of Independence was to forge a lasting unity between the thirteen colonies. Although they were riven by deep division, distrust, prejudice and polarization, the delegates at the Continental Congress consciously and repeatedly chose to compromise and even sacrifice their own colony’s interest for the sake of the larger common good. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude not only for building an American nation on a strong foundation of unity but also for showing us the paths we can take to extricate ourselves from the current quagmires of national, regional and international polarization that pervade our world.
