This week we take a new look at a familiar event - the American Revolution. I speak with historian Alan Taylor about his new book, American Revolutions: A Continental History, 1750-1804, in which he argues that the American Revolution was also a civil war with an impact far beyond the 13 colonies. I also talk to Jim Moran of the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, MA, about a little-known but important chapter in the story of American independence. Tags: American history, history podcast
