In this episode, I talk to fellow Airwave Media podcaster Will Clark of Grey History about the French Revolution and how it shaped American history, how American politicians reacted to it at the time, 100 years ago, and today. We also get into 'grey areas' of the French Revolution: things that we think about it that may be wrong, exaggerated, or even right on target.

ABOUT GREY HISTORY

Grey History is a podcast dedicated to exploring the ambiguities of the past. Too often history is presented as black and white, and Grey History seeks to examine the area in between those two extremes. Why? Because it’s in the grey that history has its beauty, its intrigue, and, most importantly, its lessons.

In order to explore history’s ambiguities, the podcast makes a deliberate point of comparing differing experiences, perspectives, and conclusions. By incorporating testimonies from a wide variety of participants, contemporaries, and historians, we can better understand the lessons of the past.
