“I really find this fascinating because my mum is Scottish and my dad is English and they both don’t really like the red coats I personally don’t but I find them fascinating and I like why you included both perspectives so great job!
Thanks

“I find it absolutely astounding that a Yale history professor does not know the difference between Britain and England. England is part of Britain and the two terms are not interchangeable. I mean this is supposed to be a professor of history.”

“Fascinating walk through the American Revolutionary War - as an English man it’s not something I was that familiar with and this podcast has given a wealth of insight into the people and politics involved
The professor delivers her lecturers in a really engaging way and focuses on the people...”Read full review »

“BRAVO!
I began listening to this course as a distraction from household chores, dropping in whenever my room needed cleaning or the kitchen needed mopping. Soon I noticed that my house was getting cleaner and cleaner -- I was actually finding work to do just so that I could continue this...”Read full review »

“I found this course to be quite fascinating. Although I thought I knew the causes of the American Revolution, Dr. Freeman does a great job explaining the well-intentioned motives on both sides which ultimately led to war. I wish Yale also had Dr. Freeman’s next course about politics in the...”Read full review »

“I haven't studied the revolution much since high school. Although a good student in high school I wasn't as interested in history as I was science and math, so I didn't absorb as much as I should have. AS an adult I have become more interested in history and I've been devouring the history...”Read full review »

“Rather then a professor of history, this sounds like a high schoolers book report. Lacking seriousness and historical accuracy this is a very lite version of events told by a cackling knob. Many unforgivable mistakes about true decisions and intentions of the actors of this period. Very poor...”Read full review »

“The woman delivering these lectures is desperate for the audience to think she's funny, which unfortunately guarantees that she's not. She also rambles quite a bit. If you can put up with those factors then there's some great information there.”

“Prof Freeman does a masterful job explaining the American revolution. You truly get a view of this period As if you were living through: you learn not to make the assumption that independence was not a foregone conclusion. Can't wait to read more/listen to more from Prof Freeman.”
