How Common Sense Ignited Independence | Benjamin Rush EP2

Join me in historic Philadelphia as I explore the extraordinary life of one of America’s most important Founding Fathers, whom most Americans have never heard of: Dr. Benjamin Rush. A native son of Philadelphia, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, a surgeon in Washington's Continental Army, a player in the Continental Congress, a fervent abolitionist, and a man of faith. I’m Joseph Loconte – author, historian, and your guide through the story of America’s “Forgotten Founder.” 📍 Filmed in historic Philadelphia 🎬 Sponsored by my friends at Founding Forward | https://foundingforward.org 🇺🇸 Series | AMERICA 250: The Life and Legacy of Benjamin Rush 👉 Subscribe to join the journey Links https://x.com/JosephLoconte https://www.josephloconte.com #BenjaminRush #America250 #FoundingForward #JosephLoconte #PhiladelphiaHistory #AmericanRevolution #DocumentarySeries
