Interested in learning more about the American Revolution that is mentioned often so much over the course of the first two seasons of Falling Skies? Thanks to iTunes U and Yale University, you can listen to a fifteen part Open Yale Course on the American Revolution.
The American Revolution - Audio
by Joanne B. Freeman
Description
"The American Revolution entailed some remarkable transformations--converting British colonists into American revolutionaries, and a cluster of colonies into a confederation of states with a common cause -- but it was far more complex and enduring than the fighting of a war. As John Adams put it, "The Revolution was in the Minds of the people... before a drop of blood was drawn at Lexington"--and it continued long past America's victory at Yorktown. This course will examine the Revolution from this broad perspective, tracing the participants' shifting sense of themselves as British subjects, colonial settlers, revolutionaries, and Americans." http://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/american-revolution-audio/id429260982
