This vein of content is why I became a patron. Much of what you covered are things that I remember delving into when I took a course on Early US History as part of my history major at university. It rekindled memories of realizing how much of what we had been "taught" was to reinforce that myth of exceptionalism. Great job. P.S. As a Norwegian American, I look forward to your Leif Eriksen day content every year.
