SUMMARY:Author's Talk - Disunion Among Ourselves: The Perilous Politics of the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Far from a harmonious collaboration\, the Continental Congress during the Revolutionary War was so filled with political strife that the delegates feared the Revolutionary War would end in disunion or civil war. But instead of disbanding\, these founders managed to unite for the sake of liberty and self-preservation\, forging grueling compromises and holding the young nation together. Political historian Eli Merritt discusses his new book and explores the deep political divisions that almost tore the Union apart during the Revolution. \nRegistration is requested.
