151 Defining the American Revolution (Doing History)
Episode 151
Published 9 years ago
Description
What do we mean by the American Revolution?
How do we define it? Was it a war? Was it a movement? Was it a series of movements?
The Doing History: To the Revolution! Series seeks to explore not just the history of the American Revolution, but the histories of the American Revolution. In this episode, we undertake the difficult task of trying to define the American Revolution by going behind-the-scenes of the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia
