Worlds Turned Upside Down tells the story of the American Revolution as a transatlantic crisis and imperial civil war through the lives of people who experienced it. For many modern citizens of the United States, “the cause of America” that gave birth to a new nation in 1776 and the heroic stories we tell ourselves about its founding remains “in great measure the cause of all mankind.” But for the people who lived through it, the revolutionary era upended their lives in ways they could have never imagined. The crisis that engulfed the Atlantic world in the late eighteenth century inspired British Americans, Indigenous nations, enslaved Africans and African Americans, Europeans, and other peoples to question their loyalties, challenge authority, seek freedom, and resist revolutionary change. Worlds Turned Upside Down is narrated and written by Dr. Jim Ambuske. It is a production of R2 Studios at George Mason University.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed learning about the events leading up to the Revolutionary War. This podcast paints a vivid picture of the colonies during the French and Indian War. It was so complex! Jim and his team do a great job breaking it down, keeping it interesting and somehow very relatable. Can’t wait for the next episode!
Really enjoying this unconventional look at this time.

I’m enjoying the approach to topics, and storytelling, that looks at a broader cultural and practical context for the Revolutionary War. I wish the episodes came out a little quicker but I appreciate the care being put in.
Great Listen
