The Republic of West Florida (1810) w/ Kristen Soltis Anderson - a podcast by Jody Avirgan & Radiotopia
from 2020-09-24T07:00
It’s September 24th. On this day in 1810, a band of rebels took control of a fort in Baton Rogue and shortly thereafter established “The Republic of West Florida,” which would last for… just under 50 days.
Jody and Niki are joined by pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson of Echelon Insights to discuss the breakaway republic, and the very weird history of the Gulf Coast region.
Kristen’s book is “The Selfie Vote.”
