In this episode of The American Revolution: How Colonies Defeated an Empire, Lucas and Luna explore the tragic story of Theodosia Burr Alston, daughter of Aaron Burr. Born into the heart of the Revolution, she was one of the best-educated women of her era, fluent in Greek and Latin, and a confidante to her father during his rise and fall. After his duel with Alexander Hamilton, she stood by him through scandal and exile. In 1812, she vanished at sea aboard the schooner Patriot, becoming one of history's great unsolved mysteries. The conversation covers her education, her role in Burr's political life, the conspiracy of 1807, and the theories surrounding her disappearance—including the legend that she survived and lived out her days as a fortune teller. A poignant look at a woman shaped by the Revolution and lost to its aftermath. #TheodosiaBurr #AaronBurr #AlexanderHamilton #BurrConspiracy #PatriotSchooner #AmericanRevolution #RevolutionaryWomen #LostDaughter #HistoryMystery #UnsolvedMystery #Piracy #18thCentury #19thCentury #NorthCarolina #NewYork #SouthCarolina #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
