I was sitting in an Austin Starbucks last weekend, absorbed in the recently published "New Deal Art: Culture and Crisis in the Great Depression" by John P. Murphy.

Even though I was already planning to post a few thoughts on the book, the chance meeting has provided me with additional impetus.

The American Revolution was not a simple story of universal Patriot unity. 🔥
Loyalists, neutrals, and reluctant participants all shaped the conflict.
Patriotism was argued, pressured, performed, and enforced, not simply assumed.
