>the founders disliked the idea of democracy
>most founders were third-generation immigrants
I don't know much about many of those founding fathers but this smells like bullshit

Oh wait scrap that Second "founders were third-generation"

The cover is definitely wrong about American revolution not being a revolution.

Not the poster of the pic, but I think it's the GOP Boomer "democracy vs republic" meme. I think they were all opposed to monarchy, and that's what McClanahan is saying in the Boomer-est way possible.

Alexander Hamilton literally called Democracy a "poison". America only became drastically democratic during the 1820's.

The American revolution didn't fundamentally change the system of government in the states. Most power structures remained and the states were still led by the same people from colonial times. Virginia's House of Burgesses just renamed themselves as the House of Delegates.

Nowhere near the French or October revolution.

by modern american standards, those do equate right wing

This one is probably cancer but I like their book about American presidents.

The Glorious Cause if you want a narrative history of the Revolutionary time period.
