I began this book with grand ambitions: to write the comprehensive tome on the American Revolution in contemporary America. I would read all the popular books crowding bookstore shelves and Amazon best-seller lists, go to all the historical sites and tourist destinations, cover all of politics, watch all the movies and TV shows and documentaries, and scour the Internet for sites, blogs, and discussions. I quickly realized that such a task was neither possible nor desirable. Material comes out faster than any one person can keep up with.
No one does. One thing I do know is that political parties and politicians do more than enlist the founders to serve their own political ends. They do so in markedly different ways, depending upon where they—the politicians, that is—stand on the political spectrum. This chapter maps the terrain of today’s politicized memory of the American Revolution to explore shared expressions, common themes, and ideological differences that have implications not only for how different Americans consider history but also for contemporary policy making, showing how the American Revolution continues to be contested ground.
