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.
