My favorite source of American Revolution scholarship.
Some of my favorites:
How George Washington turned into a Patriot (https://allthingsliberty.com/2015/02/why-did-george-washington-become-a-revolutionary/)
The bumbling of Nathan Hale, and how he probably didn't say his famous words (https://allthingsliberty.com/2013/03/nathan-hale-heros-fiasco/)
Patrick Henry's "liberty or death" speech was mostly made up by a dishonest biographer (https://allthingsliberty.com/2015/07/patrick-henrys-liberty-or-death-granddaddy-of-revolution-mythologies/)
Thomas Paine exaggerated the sales of Common Sense (https://allthingsliberty.com/2013/03/thomas-paines-inflated-numbers/)
Conrad Heyer didn't cross the Delaware, and was tricked into thinking he did in his old age by myth makers (https://allthingsliberty.com/2016/02/conrad-heyer-did-not-cross-the-delaware/)
Paul Revere did a lot more than just one ride (https://allthingsliberty.com/2014/04/paul-reveres-other-rides/)
We actually declared independence in 1774 (https://allthingsliberty.com/2013/02/americas-first-declaration-of-independence/)
Alternatively, we should be celebrating our independence on July 2 (https://allthingsliberty.com/2014/07/10-myths-for-the-fourth-of-july/)
"The whites of their eyes" wasn't meant to be literal (https://allthingsliberty.com/2013/06/the-whites-of-their-eyes/)
The Federalist Papers had almost no impact in their day (https://allthingsliberty.com/2013/04/the-federalist-papers-then-and-now/)
