To America: Personal Reflections of an Historian

I'm curious about the moments or experiences that led him to share these insights on American history. Was there a particular event or realization that prompted this approach?

His focus on personal stories made history feel more relatable, but I wonder if others felt the same emotional resonance or if it was just me.

His selections seem deliberate, but I wonder if he aimed for a particular narrative or emotional arc through these personal essays.
