From the venue:
John Ferling, one of the most prominent scholars of early American history, joins us to discuss his magnificent new book, ”Independence: The Struggle to Set America Free.” it is a perceptive and knowledgeable chronicle of events that led to the Declaration of Independence in 1776. His lively, informative book overturns the commonly held belief that the road to independence was inevitable, showing instead that it followed a complicated course that even many of the Founding Fathers could not have anticipated.
