(Fun Fact: our name is actually pronounced Tracking the Cross, but we made it subjective and confusing on purpose! ' Tracking the X' came from a list of titles Connor and Harlen debated on for weeks. 'X' stands for a variable like in algebra, meaning it could be anything, but also the railroad crossing, "x-ing" since Waycross is the railroad hub of Georgia!) #Trackingthex #trackingthexpodcast

Welcome to this special podcast episode on the Liberty Boys!
The Liberty Boys of Savannah were a group of young patriots who played a significant role in the American Revolution, particularly in Georgia. They were known for their fervent support of independence from British rule and actively participated in various acts of defiance and resistance.
These youths, inspired by the ideals of liberty and justice, organized themselves to protect Savannah and surrounding areas from British control. They engaged in activities such as intelligence gathering, sabotage against British troops and loyalists, and spreading patriotic fervor among the local population.
Led by figures like Major James Jackson and Sergeant William Jasper, the Liberty Boys of Savannah contributed to crucial moments in Georgia's revolutionary history, including the defense of Savannah against British forces in 1779 and subsequent efforts to reclaim the city.
Their bravery and commitment to the cause of American independence made them emblematic of the spirit of resistance in Georgia during the Revolutionary War. The legacy of the Liberty Boys of Savannah continues to be celebrated as part of Georgia's rich history of patriotism and sacrifice during the struggle for freedom.
