The history of the American Revolution is often simplified for easier digestion by the American public, but it is a complex and shifting story that can be viewed from thousands of different perspectives. Woody Holton, author of Liberty is Sweet: The Hidden History of the American Revolution joins us to talk about some of these different perspectives in the complex story. Holton , the McCausland Professor of History at the University of South Carolina, focuses on economic history, as well as the stories of Native Americans, African-Americans, and women in the Revolutionary era. His biography Abigail Adams: A Life received the Bancroft Prize for its portrayal of our favorite founding mother as an economic player.
