Samantha Ms. Botkin AP US History Book Review August 3rd, 2013 1776 by David McCullough 1776 is a classical narrative historical novel written by David McCullough who surpasses the expectations of the average history-telling book. 1776, a book that was written by David McCullough, focuses on the events of the American colonies rebelling against their British counterparts, causing a war that is best known, to this day, as the American Revolution. The British and American armies, both having strong and weak points, as portrayed by the author in an extreme detail, draw the reader into the war scenes and deepen the reader’s understanding of the main themes.

Before penning the Declaration of Independence--the first of the American Charters of Freedom--in 1776, the Founding Fathers searched for a historical precedent for asserting their rightful liberties from King George III and the English Parliament. They found it in a gathering that took place 561 years earlier on the plains of Runnymede, not far from where Windsor Castle stands today. There, on June 15, 1215, an assembly of barons confronted a despotic and cash-strapped King John and demanded that traditional rights be recognized, written down, confirmed with the royal seal, and sent to each of the counties to be read to all freemen. The result was Magna Carta--a momentous achievement for the English barons and, nearly six centuries later,

While I was growing up I watched two movies that James Stewart was in. The first movie was Vertigo.
