At a Glance

Long after the Revolutionary era, John Adams asked, “What do we mean by the American Revolution?” He said, "the Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people," that the real Revolution was a radical change in thinking — “the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people.” In honor of Presidents' Day, join Louis Masur, esteemed author and professor, for an engaging exploration of the ideas of such leaders as Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison and Washington, and how their visions collided and converged during the pivotal years of 1770-1800.
