Lost in America (s1e1) – The Traitor in the Room: The Secret Plot to Kill George Washington

Think you know the story of the American Revolution? As we approach the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, it’s time to look beyond the textbooks and uncover the secrets that almost ended the United States before it truly began. In the premiere of our new series, Lost in America, we investigate a chilling conspiracy from 1776: a high-level plot to assassinate George Washington. The most shocking part? The mastermind wasn’t a British soldier on the battlefield—it was Thomas Hickey, Washington’s own personal bodyguard. From the involvement of the New York Mayor to the secret committee that foiled the plan, this episode explores how a moment of deep betrayal led to the birth of American intelligence and the eventual foundations of the CIA. Join us at the Church of 434 as we celebrate #America250 by uncovering the forgotten history that shaped the land of the free. #LostInAmerica #America250 #GeorgeWashington #AmericanHistory #RevolutionaryWar #HiddenHistory #ThomasHickey #HistoryBuff #FoundingFathers #TrueHistory
