I’ve recently been diving into some fascinating content on the American Revolution and wanted to share some of the resources I’ve found incredibly enlightening.
First off, if you’re looking for a comprehensive series on this pivotal period, you should definitely check out The American Revolutions Series. It's an excellent collection that offers deep insights into the events and figures that shaped the revolution.
For those interested in specific books, I highly recommend exploring this list of the best books on the American Revolution. You’ll find some of The American Revolution books that are absolute must-reads for anyone keen on understanding the nuances of this era.
One of the standout figures of the revolution is Thomas Jefferson. If you’re curious about his intellectual journey, particularly during his time in Paris, there’s a great article on Thomas Jefferson's Enlightenment that’s worth a read.
Another insightful piece explores Alexis de Tocqueville and THE TYRANNY OF BENEVOLENCE, shedding light on Tocqueville’s views and their relevance to American history.
Lastly, I found these articles on the different phases of the revolution particularly intriguing:

• The First Revolutions in the Minds of the People
• The Second American Revolution
• The Third American Revolution
  

And if you’re interested in the author behind much of this work, James C. Thompson has been doing a phenomenal job in bringing these historical narratives to life.
Hope you find these resources as enriching as I did!
