The
year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of American independence, yet the
founding is controversial now in ways it has not been in decades. The American
Enterprise Institute offers a major intellectual and educational project to
reintroduce Americans to the unique value of their national inheritance.
In
the final volume of this eight-book series, historians explore how generationsof Americans have defined, debated, and drawn on the memory of the American
Revolution. From the early republic to the present, Americans have repeatedly
written new histories of their independence movement and centered "the Spirit
of '76" in their arts and civic initiatives as a way to make sense of
contemporary challenges.
Studying
the American Revolution's legacy shows how it has shaped American civic
education, informed American culture, and enabled citizens to fashion a shared
identity in a pluralistic nation.
