Most of us learned a simplified version a single moment, a single document, and a few famous names. But history is hardly that clean. In this conversation, we're going to dig into what was written before the declaration. What unalienable rights really meant in its original forming, and how certain myths became common knowledge over time. We'll also look at the overlooked contributors across class, race and gender whose influence and sacrifice shape the era, even if their names didn't make it into the textbooks. Joining us today is Charles Castleberry, historian, author and constitutional researcher whose work focuses on America's founding era and the ideas that shaped the Declaration of Independence. He's the author of "The Declaration's Forgotten Liberties," a book that uncovers overlooked documents, people and principles that directly influenced Thomas Jefferson's pen, challenging long standing myths while restoring historical context, often missing from modern education.

Oon this episode of American Real, Roger asks Staci where she got the strength to help herself to make her story. "Well, I consider myself to be quite brave," Staci says. "I my life has brought me lots of opportunity to develop those skills of resiliency. I have I'm living with a brain tumor. Raising kids, you know, interviewing for new positions that that we hope to get so I, I it, I stepped almost roger outside of myself and I, I said to myself, you got this girl like you've got you've got a good foundation. You might not know the navigational tools, but you've got the space, you've got an interest, you have a willingness to be open present and to listen. And maybe the listening starts with yourself.

Yet even in that darkness, resilience is real. Forgiveness has a cost. And breaking the cycle takes courage. Most of us can't imagine. Today's guest is Joe Guggia, author of "Blind Eye Love: A Young Girl's Abusive Childhood Becomes a Life of Optimism." The book is a multi-generational California saga based on true events that confronts abuse, silence, and the long road to healing. As a floral designer for over 40 years, writing has been a hidden passion that Joe is now working towards being his full time job.

On this episode of American Real, Roger asks Joe how all this came to be and what gave him the strength to putting the pen to the paper. "Well, it's a family that I know well," Joe says. "It's not my own, per se. And I've written, like, floral articles over the years for different publications. I wanted to do this. I did a self-published design book, but, you know, dabbled in it all, knowing that if you can write one thing that's good and solid, get it marketed and people relate to it, it can be successful, but monetarily and personally. So that's kind of my goal. I'm a little older now. I'm still a florist. I do it and it's great. But I just thought, let's start doing something else. So I just started making notes about things. I had no idea about anything, really. It was just background that I was aware of. And I just researched the company and talked to you and just decided to go with it."
