YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHeather Cox Richardson (@heathercoxrichardson) on her daily Letters from an American substack: "I chase down over the course of the day what I think are the main stories for that one day in American history informed by historians, because what historians do is rather than looking at breaking news the way a journalist does, we're looking for the levers that move societies. Historians look at how and why societies change. So I'm looking for the through lines that show change in society. And then about 5:00 or 6:00 I start to write, I sit down to write, and then I write until it's done."
