SUMMARY:The American Revolution\, July 14–20
DESCRIPTION:\n 	Director\n \n 	Gary B. Nash\,&nbsp\;Professor 
 and Director\, National Center for History in the 
 Schools\,&nbsp\;University of California\, Los Ang
 eles\n \n 	Overview\n \n 	This seminar will procee
 d from two premises: 1) that the Revolution had ma
 ny meanings to its diverse participants\; and 2) t
 hat its causes\, dynamics\, and outcomes have been
  interpreted and reinterpreted ever since. Therefo
 re\, we will read secondary works of various histo
 rians who have disagreed sharply on how to interpr
 et the American Revolution\; and we will examine a
  variety of primary documents through which we can
  better understand how people at the time understo
 od what they were fighting for and what outcomes t
 hey hoped to enjoy. &ldquo\;Who shall write the hi
 story of the American Revolution?&rdquo\; wrote Jo
 hn Adams to Thomas Jefferson (in 1815). &ldquo\;No
 body\,&rdquo\; Jefferson replied\, &ldquo\;except 
 merely its external facts . . . The life and soul 
 of its history must be forever unknown.&rdquo\; Al
 most two centuries later\, let&rsquo\;s discover t
 he answers to that question for ourselves.\n \n 	\
