The "Survivalist Interpretation" of the American Revolution

I will be elaborating on this explanatory model of the founding of the United States during my book tour, fully detailed below

I have had two interviews about the book so far and many more to come. My first in-person talk will take place on June 7 at the American Revolution Institute in Washington, D.C.

Below you will find the schedule for my book tour, including links for signing up. Several of them have options for remote participation by Zoom.

At the talks, as well as in forthcoming posts, I will explain in detail why the founding of the United States was a "Shotgun Wedding" and a "Devil's Bargain."

Know someone who is interested in American history, especially the American Revolution or the Civil War? “Disunion Among Ourselves” unites them into one narrative.

If so, please share this post.
