Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2 It is an obvious comment upon the present work, that a story of the American Revolution which stops with the sur render oi Cornwallis and the consequent fall of Lord North's ministry is incomplete. One might reply, in general, that any historical narrative must needs be incomplete wherever it may happen to stop; but on the present occasion a more suitable answer is that the story is continued in my book entitled The Critical Period of American History, the first chapter of which deals with the Results of Yorktown. The text of this edition has been thoroughly revised, and in many places new matter has been added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the American Revolution, Vol. 1 The foundation of these stories is historically true. The incidents of home-life, of the struggles of the women and children who were left to defend themselves as best they could, of the privations, bravery, and heroism of those who never went upon a battlefield, have been too much neglected. The men who shouldered their muskets, and at the peril of their lives went forth to meet the foe, are not likely to be forgotten but the no less heroic deeds of those who were left behind are Ofttimes slighted. We have studied the battlefields sometimes to the exclusion of the lives of the men and the women. The author in putting forth these stories con fesses to one grave fear. He would not in any way enkindle today a feeling of hatred towards the mother country. There are too many reasons why the relations between the two lands should be, and should continue to be, friendly, for him in any way to try to keep alive the feelings which prevailed during the Revolution. The times have changed, and it is to be hoped that we may change with them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Historical View of the American Revolution Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by George Washington Greene and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical View of the American Revolution, Vol. 1 It is a principle of English law, that the King cannot take the subject's money without the subject's consent. Denying this principle, England attempted to tax the Colonies through the Imperial Parliament instead of the Colonial Assemblies, and lost them. Appealing to this principle, the Colonists claimed the right to dispose freely of the fruits of their own labors, and established their claim by the War of Independence. But they failed to see that, if the principle was true, it was true as a law of universal humanity, and therefore must sooner or later demand and obtain universal application. And this failure to accept all the consequences of the accepted principle left the bitter and bloody war bella plus quam civilia through which we are now passing as a part of their legacy to their children. Will not history say that wise statesmanship should have foreseen this as a logical sequence, and consistent Christianity should recognize it as the act of that divine justice which could not have imposed the obligation of personal responsibility without according the right of personal freedom?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the American Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprehending All the Principal Events Both in the Field and in the Cabinet United States, and the constitutions of the several States, have only given to those chartered rights a new name. The People now speak in their collective majes ty, where a Monarch, in his individual majesty, former ly spoke; and the lips of both utter precisely the same sentiments - se false was the opinion prevalent in the day of our revolution, that our ancestors were rebels. In the prosecution of the present work, it is deem ed proper to state, that the facts have been drawn from what is honestly believed to be the most nuques tionable sources from a painful and accurate examina tion and comparison of the various histories of that important event; from the correspondence of those who were the immediate parties in a struggle rso glorious to our cguntry; from official documents, from the ar chives of our Continental Congress, and those of the different Legislatures and from the orderly books, that may properly be denominated the journals of the army. Much, perhaps, remains to be'known, that may yet be preserved to posterity, if the private cor respondence of those who were the immediate actors in this important drama, has yet survived the dilapi dations of time and of accident but much is irrevoca bly covered by the ashes of the grave.

Download or read book The Beginnings of the American Revolution Vol 1 written by Ellen Chase and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of the American Revolution, Vol. 1: Based on Contemporary Letters, Diaries and Other Documents N studying the beginnings of the American Revolu tion, the remark made by John Adams that there was a revolution in men's minds that preceded the years of battle, and that the result of the war but set its seal on a severance of interests already accomplished is more and more clearly pressed home. The successive incidents that bred discord between the mother country and the Colonies are singularly rich in detail and color. Time would fail to tell the story of the period between the Peace of Paris and April 19th in full. There were clashings with stamp masters, bickerings along the water front, tumults, and tea parties up and down the land. The priceless manuscript volumes in the State Archives and the zeal of the Massachusetts Historical Society in bringing to light numerous journals and letters of the day have given unusual facilities for following these years in their relationship to Boston. If the happenings elsewhere are passed by briefly here, they are none the less memorable. The main purpose of the narrative has been to make the Outline of events in this neighborhood live once more in all their wealth of humor and picturesqueness as they were known by the actors. The interest, however, is more than local, more than contemporary, for the elements here shown at Odds are capable Of cropping out again. Taken seriously, the story Of this book may well have a practical side, considered in relation to our newly-acquired Colonial possessions. We at home hear vaguely Of these outlying parts being settled by some Of ourselves; but the conditions into which the Colonists go are but little understood and less noted. Yet, carrying our name and traditions and pluck, we must believe that their day's work will tell as the years go by.

Download or read book The Struggle for American Independence Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Sydney George Fisher and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Struggle for American Independence, Vol. 1 The present work is a continuation and enlargement of "The True History of the American Revolution," published some years ago in one volume. That work, while being a brief general account of the contest, dwelt more particularly on certain phases of the struggle which had been omitted or ignored by the historians. It soon became obvious that it did not go far enough, that the original plan should be extended and carried out in more detail, and that the whole mass of original evidence in libraries and historical societies should be made accessible, and revealed to the public in as complete a manner as possible. Our people have little or no conception of what the Revolution really was, no conception of the nature of the original evidence; and the unwillingness of our writers of general histories to cite that evidence keeps it a sealed book to the public. Our national feeling is bound up in the Revolution, and the extreme importance of such an event, which was the foundation of our nationality and of the political and social principles by which we are still guided, seems to deserve all the light that it is possible to obtain. We naturally want to know the origin of our political existence and exactly why and how we broke away from that great empire which since then has never allowed another dependency to escape, which has reduced republics to colonies, and brought into subjection innumerable peoples and races, and whose rule, we are told, is an unmixed blessing, far preferable to independence.
