Description: Making Thirteen Clocks Strike as One: Race, Fear, and the American Founding by Robert Parkinson, Binghamton University
When he was an old man, John Adams told us it was a miracle that thirteen clocks struck together on July 4, 1776. That thirteen American colonies did unite as one nation was indeed something that no one expected at the time, least of all John Adams. So, how did they do it?
