About

This lecture challenged our traditional assumptions about the chronology of the American Revolution. T.H. Breen rejected a familiar story that begins in the early 1760s with the coronation of George III and then traces a slow buildup of grievances until the colonists declare independence and set the country on the road to the Constitution. This talk introduced a radically different timeline that reinterprets the beginning and end of the Revolution and, in the process, restores the ordinary American people to the events that shaped the nation.

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
