In this episode, we pause to consider the various voices emerging out of the American Revolution. Though our class concentrates upon the literature of the United States prior to 1865, the voices emerging out of this larger dialogue can help us to see that the past is not so different from the present. Several debates in the public space right now misunderstand these documents; by reading the material and hearing these author first hand, you can better navigate those public conversations without being misled by oversimplified summaries.
