EPISODE II – THE FIRE AND THE FORGE: The Revolution That Built a Nation
Before the nation was born, it was burned... Smoke curled through the valleys of rebellion, a gray veil over red earth and restless hearts.

EPISODE I – THE EMBERS OF REBELLION: HOW A COLONY BECAME A CAUSE
Before the roar of revolution, there was the whisper. A tavern door swinging open on a gust of sea-salt air. A candle guttering against the draft. A man with ink on his fingers leaning over a table, muttering of liberty like it was a spell not yet fully formed. In the thirteen colonies, rebellion did not arrive with a bang. It arrived like a fever, spreading quietly, feverishly, through the hearts of people who didn’t yet know they were building a nation.

When Christian Blood Stops Trending:
Nigeria is still the place where Christians die in batches. Night attacks in Plateau, Benue, Kaduna, Taraba. Villages hit in sequence. Churches burned. Men killed first.
