In this sweeping take on American history, Michael D. Hattem reveals how conflicts over the meaning and legacy of the Revolution-including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution-have influenced the most important events and tumultuous periods in the nation’s history; how African Americans, women, and other oppressed groups have shaped the popular memory of the Revolution; and how much of our contemporary memory of the Revolution is a product of the Cold War.
