Join us October 8 and learn about Seven Critical Months in 1776
“The Year That Made America” tells the untold story of how America’s declaration of independence hinged on seven critical months in 1776 and the courageous votes that changed the world forever.
This gripping account reveals the precarious path to American independence though a series of pivotal dates that history has nearly forgotten. While July 4th claims the glory, the actual vote for independence came on July 2nd – and even that historic moment almost didn’t happen. From January 1776’s publication of Common Sense to December’s darkest hours of the Revolution, McMillan reconstructs the dramatic months when rebellious colonies transformed into a new nation.
This timely narrative strips away the myths to expose the raw political courage that launched a revolution. From heated Congressional debates to the dangerous aftermath of declaring independence.
McMillian delivers a fresh perspective on America’s founding that resonates powerfully with today’s political challenges.
During the Event, books will be available for sale by the author.
