Journal of the American Revolution

My favorite source of American Revolution scholarship.

Some of my favorites:
How George Washington turned into a Patriot
The bumbling of Nathan Hale, and how he probably didn't say his famous words
Patrick Henry's "liberty or death" speech was mostly made up by a dishonest biographer
Thomas Paine exaggerated the sales of Common Sense
Conrad Heyer didn't cross the Delaware, and was tricked into thinking he did in his old age by myth makers
Paul Revere did a lot more than just one ride
We actually declared independence in 1774
Alternatively, we should be celebrating our independence on July 2
"The whites of their eyes" wasn't meant to be literal
The Federalist Papers had almost no impact in their day
