Description

The American Revolution vividly illustrates through a choice of fascinating number one documents how, within the space of a couple of hundred years, contented colonists — the vast majority of whom were transplanted English citizens — would form an independent country that could challenge the greatest world power of the time — and win. The American Revolution explores the colonies’ break with Great Britain, the resulting war to achieve independence, and the struggle to create a successful government for the brand new United States. Steven C. Bullock turns to such documents as Common Sense, the Declaration of Independence, diaries, newspaper debates, slave petitions, and a pictorial essay on Paul Revere, showing that the words and actions of common men in addition to great men played essential roles in making the Revolution not only a coup d’État, but a genuine change that shook the foundations of authority and dramatically changed American society.
