  • Resumen

  • Today, I sit down with Tom McMillan and discuss his most recent book: The Year That Made America: From Rebellion to Independence, 1775-1776.

    This gripping account reveals the precarious path to American independence through a series of pivotal dates that history has nearly forgotten. While July 4th claims the glory, the actual vote for independence came on July 2nd—and even that historic moment almost didn't happen. From January's publication of Common Sense to December's darkest hours of the Revolution, McMillan reconstructs the dramatic months when rebellious colonies transformed into a new nation.
    Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, the book reveals:
    • How the pivotal events of May 15, June 7, and July 2 shaped America's destiny
    • Why Congress's bold January declaration triggered a chain of unstoppable events
    • The behind-the-scenes feud between Adams and Jefferson on their views of government after independence was won
    • How the Declaration's influence extended from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address to modern times
    This timely narrative strips away the myths to expose the raw political courage that launched a revolution. From heated Congressional debates to the dangerous aftermath of declaring independence, McMillan delivers a fresh perspective on America's founding that resonates powerfully with today's political challenges.
