The Essential Knowledge for Americans

I cannot recommend this set of lectures highly enough. It is really essential for Left Right and Center. We often forget that all of us can find find examples of champions of our particular politics throughout American history right back to the founding of Virginia and Massachusetts Bay. For those of you on the Left I recommend studying the lives of Roger Williams and Joel Barlow. I wish this lecture could be played at every t party and ows gathering anywhere. This is probably the most lucid, cogent, broadly knowledgeable talk on American history and its essential characteristics that I have ever heard.
