SUMMARY:Bookworm #94- Author Conversation with Michael Hattem\, "The Memory of ’76: The Revolution in American History"
DESCRIPTION:Historian and author of The Memory of ’76: The Revolution in American History\, Michael Hattem recounts the surprising history of how Americans have fought over the meaning and legacy of the Revolution for nearly two and a half centuries. \nIn this sweeping take on American history\, Hattem reveals how conflicts over the meaning and legacy of the Revolution—including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution—have influenced the most important events and tumultuous periods in the nation’s history; how African Americans\, women\, and other oppressed groups have shaped the popular memory of the Revolution; and how much of our contemporary memory of the Revolution is a product of the Cold War. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				This episode is sponsored by an anonymous Bookworm patron. \nThe Clements Bookworm is a free monthly webinar series featuring guests discussing topics in American history. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				REGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Bookworm #95 - Author Conversation with Jessica M. Lepler\, "Canal Dreamers: The Epic Quest to Connect the Atlantic and Pacific in the Age of Revolutions"
DESCRIPTION:Historian and author of Canal Dreamers: The Epic Quest to Connect the Atlantic and Pacific in the Age of Revolutions\, Jessica M. Lepler walks us through the failed idea to build the world’s first interoceanic canal. \nIn the 1820s\, there was a little-known dream to unite the world by building a waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. As Spanish American nations declared independence and new canals intensified US expansion and British industrialization\, many imagined the construction of an interoceanic canal as predestined. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Although the idea of literally changing the world by connecting the oceans proved too revolutionary for the Age of Revolution\, the quest itself changed history. Canal dreams prompted political transformations\, financial crisis\, recognition of new countries\, concern about climate change\, and more. Full of adventure\, corruption\, far-reaching consequences\, and present-day parallels\, Lepler’s absorbing narrative cuts through two centuries\, revealing that dreams do not need to come true to make history. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				This episode is sponsored by an anonymous Bookworm patron. \nThe Clements Bookworm is a free monthly webinar series featuring guests discussing topics in American history. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				REGISTER NOW
