## Resource

The American Revolution obviously changed the course of American History. That's a given. Have you ever contemplated how that singular event changed the course of world history over the ensuing centuries? Think of how the American Revolution weakened the British and Spanish Empires and as our guest discusses, "it gives rights seekers everywhere a new vocabulary." To discuss this fascinating topic, we are delighted to welcome Richard Bell, author of "The American Revolution and the Fate of the World" and professor of history at the University of Maryland.
