Review:
This is a hard read. The details are significant. The heroes of the day (the framers of the Constitution and the early American rebels) are almost all taken down a notch and several many notches. The intertwining of slavery and the formation of the country are no shock, but the details of how this happened and, particularly, who supported it and why, are marked. My favorite, John Adams, suffered under the glare of reality (as he has in so many other ways). This is a good look at what it means to be on the "right" side of history.
