WATCH: Read the Revolution with Caitlin Fitz

On June 30, 2020, author and historian Dr. Caitlin Fitz discussed her recent book, Our Sister Republics: The United States in an Age of American Revolutions, in a virtual conversation with Museum President and CEO Dr. R. Scott Stephenson. Fitz drew on sources and archives in four languages to address how citizens of the new United States compared their Revolution and republicanism with Latin America’s independence movements.
