William Walker was a scrawny, entitled, doughy-eyed Southern racist that could not stop illegally invading Central America during the 19th century. Seeing that he was terrified of women, this was not your tequila fueled spring break like off of a 90s reality TV show. The only show he got was the dongs of his soldiers, as their pants rotted away on his death marches through the deserts and jungles of Mexico & Nicaragua.

You might know him as the 20 Dollar Bill Boy but in his time he was simply known as President Andrew Jackson. When he wasn't physically stealing other peoples wives, this wacky waving inflatable man was flexing America's Manifest Destiny boner, by systematically destroying native culture and spreading slavery. As his pet parrot would scream during his funeral 'ASSHOLE!'

When it comes to revolutionaries William Lyon Mackenzie is straight up the Charlie Brown of the bunch. The first mayor of Toronto had great intentions but failed at almost everything he ever did. We are talking Canadian independence here... There's a reason the queen is still on their bills. To get some inside insight, Travis captures two living Canadians in his poutine trap to discuss life in the Great White North.
