In which
John Green teaches you about the American Revolution and the American
Revolutionary War, which it turns out were two different things. John goes over
the issues and events that precipitated rebellion in Britain's American
colonies, and he also explores the ideas that laid the groundwork for the new
American democracy. Find out how the tax bill from the Seven Years War fomented
an uprising, how the Enlightenment influenced the Founding Fathers, and who
were the winners and losers in this conflict.(hint: many of the people living
in the Colonies ended up losers) The Revolution purportedly brought freedom and
equality to the Thirteen Colonies, but they weren't equally distributed. Also,
you'll learn about America's love affair with commemorative ceramics and what
happens when rich white guys take the reins from reins white guys, and put
together a society of, by, and for rich white guys.
