No piece of history exists in a vacuum; the story of humankind is long and varied, and every thread is part of a larger tapestry that has taken millennia to weave together.
As we approach the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America, it is important to remember that the small period of time we recognize as culminating on July 4, 1776, was the result of this tapestry and the threads woven in prior.
In turn, the American Revolution played a large part in the global geopolitics of the time, with repercussions still being felt today.
To help you explore more about the microcosm of the American Revolution as a single time period, our librarian Jackie has put together a list of recommended books and films; everything from Morgan Freeman and Ken Burns, to Peggy Shippen, Thomas Jefferson, Outlander, and beyond!
