The year 1776 is undoubtedly iconic for Americans. After all, it is the year of the Declaration of Independence—the paradigm-shifting document that birthed a new vision of government and brought the United States into being. But the groundbreaking events of 1776 went far beyond the American Revolution.
The Years That Changed History: 1776 invites you to take a uniquely different look at the events of this famous year, in a brilliant and surprising excavation of world history. With the expert guidance of Professor Adam Jortner of Auburn University, you’ll explore the whole world of 1776, discovering the surprising connections between earth-shaking events in politics, philosophy, literature, science, map-making, and economics around the globe. The American Revolution was only one part of a world-spanning transformation of empires, of technologies, and of human thought.
In this exciting and original course, you’ll explore how all these milestones took place in one singular year—and how they shaped and influenced each other as the world changed.
