Revolutionary America at UNC

come listen as we discuss the tea party, American identity, and the development of popular memory during the second party system.

In our final episode to round out the semester, we will cover the many legacies and changes in the aftermath of the American Revolution.  

This discusses part one in Alfred F. Young's book The Shoemaker and the Tea Party.  We include the key themes and points that were brought up in George Robert Hewes's life. This book also discusses major events in the Revolutionary War from Hewes's point of view. We included three questions in the end for listeners to think about.  

In this podcast episode, Chapter 11 of Taylor entitled Partisans will be discussed. Key points of discussion from this chapter include issues derived from slavery, the uphill battle known as governance, slave revolts and revolutions, and the further development of political parties in the United States. We hope you enjoy!  

This is my attempt at a overall summary of the start of chapter 10 from Allan Taylor's book American Revolutions. I would also like to apologize for the quality of the audio. My microphone does not like me anymore I suppose.

In this episode Josh McBride provides a summary and analysis of chapter 8 from Alan Taylor's book American Revolutions. 

This episode features a walk-through of the chapter, analysis throughout, as well as the introduction of an exciting new historical figure Alexsammel Hamerton (which was most certainly not meant to be Alexander Hamilton).

A meowing cat and home-made guitar instrumentation can be heard throughout the episode. 

Thank you for listening!

This is an overview of chapter 7 with evidence from the text to support major takeaways from this section.

Ben Rosen and Izzy Forster dig into the Woody Holton book, Black Americans in the Revolutionary Era, and what happened to African-Americans after the Revolutionary War! Come check it out!

A broad summary of chapter 6, Join me as I talk to much and make jokes that I probably shouldn't, for multiple reasons. I am so sorry it is 30 minutes, and am even more sorry that I talk for all 30 of those minutes.

This is based off of the Chapter 5 "Allies" in the Taylor book.

Sorry for the long episode, I didn't know when to stop talking.

This podcast focuses on the publication of Common Sense by Thomas Paine and how it shifted the attitudes of independence and Patriotism for colonists, as well as how it affected those who were not directly part of the war effort. 

This is the podcast for the Taylor reading pages 131-154 by Jeremy Taylor 

Enjoy listening! sorry its so quiet!

This podcast gives an overview of parts one and two of Lepore's book, Book of Ages.

This podcast goes over the beginning of chapter three and the "Sugar and Stamps Sources" that we read for class. It talks about how the sources fit within the context of Colonial America and why the taxes may have been worse or better than the colonists let on. This section of chapter three goes over the different type of taxation that parliament tried to impose on the colonists after they had tightened their grasp on the colonies. The main ones were the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, the Townshend Acts, and the Declaration Act.

This podcast is an attempt to cover the highpoint of Chapter 2 in Taylor's American Revolutions. 

In this episode, we'll explore politics in early America and the series of eighteenth century wars between the British and the French that (ironically) played a crucial role in exposing divisions between the British and their American colonies. 

In this very brief introduction, I reveal how easy it is to make a podcast and how excited I am to hear yours.
