A free online lecture on The French and American Revolutions is being offered as a public service by Yorktown University, an accredited Denver, Colorado-based Internet university committed to the philosophy of limited government of the Founding Fathers, the Judaeo-Christian tradition and philosophic truths that shape our enduring Constitution. Denver, CO, June 27, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The free lecture on the French and American Revolutions is one of ten lectures developed for "History of Western Civilization: 1700 to World War II" by Dr. Larry Schweikart. Larry Schweikart, Ph.D., is a author of several books, including Seven Events that Made America America, 48 Liberal Lies About American History (That You Probably Learned in School) and "A Patriot's History of the United States." In this online lecture, Dr. Schweikart explains the differences between France of 1789 and America of 1776. For example, French society was divided by classes - high-living clergy, nobility and peasants. Also, says Schweikart, the French Revolution killed its own, including Maximilien Robespierre, whose execution in 1794 marked the end of the Reign of Terror in Revolutionary France. In addition to his academic career, Dr. Schweikart produced the video, Rockin' the Wall, which explores how American rock 'n' roll music contributed to the collapse of communism.
