On this week’s Dispatches, host Brady Crytzer interviews JAR contributor Scott Syfert on what we can reliably know about North Carolina’s Mecklenburg Declaration even though the original document has been lost. Was this the first Declaration of Independence and did any of its language end up in the Declaration of Independence written and signed in Philadelphia?

Each episode is also available to watch on our new JAR YouTube channel. Dispatches can be accessed on the JAR main menu.
