The Effects of The Wild Demography of America in 1776 On The War & The Constitution
What follows are some facts about America at the time of its inception that are downright wild, and thoughts about the knock-on effects of them, which are debatable in scope but undeniable. America in 1776 was estimated to only have 2.5 million people, yet had a geography that was larger than France and Great Britain combined. That's not a lot of people in a whole lot of land, in fact that makes its population density similar to Mongolia today, the least dense in the world. Who knew?!
In this episode we will examine the incredibly unique demographics of America at the time of it's "birth" and how these played into it's culture, the war of independence, but maybe most importantly how this would eventually influence the crafting of The Constitution of The United States of America.
