Title: Books like this are why I love history
Product review: I waited awhile to write this review. I needed some time to think over the impact this was having on me. It's a powerful and well written story. And I admit one of the things I enjoyed most was that Robert Carter was complex. He was not one dimensional. I'm not sure I would have enjoyed spending time with him, but I'm sure I would have found him interesting. Tomorrow I'll be watching '1776'. I first saw the play when I was a child and it became a family tradition that we always watched it together on the 4th of July. The scenes where including the topic of slavery in the Declaration are going to appear different for me this time. Tom Jefferson's "intent" to free his slaves will sound more shallow than usual. Robert Carter is a hero for me. He did what was right. And I'll be thinking of him on the 4th.
