It seems like Settlers is pretty prolific on the left but there's very scant info about him online.

Horne's good. I do think the counter revolution of 1776 over plays its hand a little bit though. To me the revolution is more about settler colonial revolt over conceptions of freedom Ala Aziz Rana's the two faces of American freedom, of which a key part is anxiety over slavery law, but not the principle component (and there is no principle component it's a mixture of several).

Ooh thanks for that, I'll add that to my reading list. I enjoyed the book but I agree the viewpoint felt a little narrow to me at points
