    PETER NAVARRO: Americans melted tyranny down and fired it back as deadly musket balls

    In 1776, Americans melted down a toppled statue of King George III in New York City's Bowling Green to produce 42,088 musket balls, which were later used in battles like the Battle of Monmouth. Oliver Wolcott coordinated the effort, transforming the symbol of British tyranny into ammunition for the Revolutionary War.
