Myths Perpetuated:
253: Patrick Henry’s “Liberty or Death” speech. See Founding Myths, chapter 8.
274: “The victory at Yorktown won the war for the Americans.” See Founding Myths, chapter 12.
Critical items neglected, which change our understanding of the Revolution:
The first seizure of political and military authority from the British — Massachusetts, 1774. See Founding Myths, chapter 4.
The winter the Continental Army spent at Morristown — far colder than that spent at Valley Forge, and the harshest in 400 years. See Founding Myths, chapter 5.
The global context for the American Revolution — why the war continued after Yorktown. See Founding Myths, chapter 12.
