Captives of Liberty

What happens when you have prisoners of war, yet neither side is willing to acknowledge the legitimacy of the others' combatants? This was precisely the problem at play during the American War of Independence/Revolution. Award winning historian Trenton Cole Jones joins Zack and the Beau to explore this knotty problem, whilst Zack speculates that this conflict was the American Civil War 0.5, English Civil War 2.0 and British Civil War (no, we have no idea either!).
