About

Revolutionary America features conversations with authors of new scholarship on the transformative era spanning the 1750s through the 1820s across the Americas. Featuring interviews that explore political upheaval, social change, and the many meanings of “revolution” in this period, the channel highlights work on independence movements, constitutional formations, imperial crises, and the lived experiences of diverse peoples navigating a rapidly changing world. Co-directed by Edward Blum and Amy Weitzman, and produced in collaboration with the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic (SHEAR), Revolutionary America brings cutting-edge historical research to scholars, students, and the interested public.
