Step back into a time when Albany was a pivotal hub in the struggle for American independence. Historian Liz Covart, Ph.D., host of Ben Franklin’s World, an award-winning podcast exploring early American history, will guide you through how Albany served as the nerve center for the Northern Campaign and a revolutionary stronghold surrounded by counties with divided loyalties. Hear the high-stakes stories of military supply, regional rivalries, and the tensions that nearly changed the course of the Battle of Saratoga. Through engaging storytelling, Liz reveals how the decisions, conflicts, and alliances forged in and around Albany helped shape the young nation.
