In the early 1700's, Jean Baptiste Baudreau II had a unique mixed heritage that enabled him to forge connections with both the French colonists of the American south and the Native American tribes. He was a rebel without a cause.... no really, we aren't quite sure what his cause was.... but he was found untrustworthy amongst the white colonists because of his strong ties to the indigenous people. After spending years in prison for crimes we, again, aren't quite sure of, the local officials decided to use him as an example by sentencing him to death using a very medieval device: the breaking wheel. In this Mardi Gras themed episode, we talk about how this execution method worked and the legacy Jean Baptiste has on modern day New Orleans.
