I will do my best not to regurgitate Gordon Wood. So here's a video of Wood in an interview discussing the Revolution, the creation of the "self-made" man, why there will never be another George Washington, and the reasons why David McCullough got so rich. More on my thoughts of the Radicalism of the American Revolution later...

Good interview--nice find. Still waiting on those thoughts...
ReplyDeletelol sorry, I am putting it on the review as we speak. Don't want to give all my ideas away...However, one of the things I wanted to ask: how much does the cultural/societal identity in the colonies have to do with the Revolution?
DeleteFor Wood, it seems to be everything...
