The Year That Made America

There is indisputable evidence that the Continental Congress voted to separate from England on July 2, 1776. But the more cogent point is that many modern-day Americans seem unaware of the raucous political discourse in the weeks and months leading up to that decision. Independence was not pre-ordained, and almost didn't happen as early as it did. Myths and misconceptions abound, July 2, 1776 will open many eyes to the history of the American Revolution.
