check out the 1632 series by Eric Flint and others.

The first book, 1632, begins in a small town, Grantville, West Virginia, in 2000, where the town and a six-mile-wide sphere surrounding it are moved in space and time to Germany in 1631, the middle of the Thirty Years War. The 'Ring of Fire', this move in time and space, is the only science-fiction aspect of the series. The theme throughout the series is how a group of small town West Virginians decide to survive - by starting the American Revolution 150 years early.

You can download a copy of the first book from Baen Books at https://www.baen.com/1632.html. There are now 27 novels and 13 anthologies, as well as nine Grantville Gazettes, e-magazines that combine short stories and factual articles.
