Learning Tales | Written by Eve Mendez

🦅 What does it mean to be a nation? Not just on paper—but in the hearts of the people?

In this stirring first episode of Learning Tales, journey back to the early days of America, when a young country faced a second fight for its freedom. Told through the eyes of a child living through the War of 1812, this story weaves together the fear of invasion, the courage of everyday citizens, and the moment the flag became more than fabric—it became a symbol of identity.
