I need a crash course on early American history; from the Enlightenment to the Reconstruction (post Civil War). Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated. Many thanks!
Not OP. I would like to see a fun to read, US history 101 book
OP here, using the term "crash course" was a mistake; I am looking to go deeper than just that. I'd like books that can give more detailed accounts. On the list to read so far is Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography. I'd like to read Napoleon's autobio. Again, thank you for any suggestions.
Highly recommend this.

Basically it was all a tragic mistake and the rebellious American colonists were the 9/11 truthers of their day who went mental believing the British government was engaging in some sort of conspiracy to take away muh liberties.
