American Revolution

This year’s July Fourth celebrations mark the nation’s 250th anniversary of independence. At the Charlotte Museum of History, a new exhibit is giving community members a closer look at the American Revolution.

History buffs — the wait is over. The second volume of the American Revolution trilogy by author Rick Atkinson is here. In "The Fate of the Day," Atkinson covers the middle years of the Revolution. His account of the bloody conflict between the Americans and the British offers well-researched and spectacularly dramatic history, and explores the demands that a democracy makes on its citizens. He joins us to discuss the book and his collaboration with documentarian Ken Burns.
