Bradley Thompson to discuss his groundbreaking book, America's Revolutionary Mind: A Moral History of the American Revolution and the Declaration that Defined It, featured as AMAC’s Book Club Book of the Month. Thompson explains how the real American Revolution began not on the battlefield, but “in the minds and souls of the American people” in the 15 years before Lexington and Concord. He unpacks how the revolutionaries shifted from the "rights of Englishmen" to the universal concept of natural rights, emphasizing that these principles remain vital today. Thompson acknowledges slavery's moral failure but highlights how the Declaration’s ideals began the process of abolition, stating, “The American Revolution laid the foundation for ending slavery.” Tune in for a compelling conversation on America’s fight for freedom!
