Book excerpt: Excerpt from American History Second Book (1763 to the Present Time) The general practice of our elementary schools is to study the subject of American History in two cycles. This volume is the second of a two-book series intended to serve as textbooks for pupils in the first cycle of their study, and to cover two years' work. Each book, however, is so planned that it can be used independently of the other. The books aim to introduce the pupil to the history of his country in accordance with accepted pedagogical method. It is not their purpose to give the student a detailed and comprehensive study of the philosophy of history, or to appeal especially to the judgment and those other faculties whose fuller development comes with adolescence. The books are deliberately organized, as regards both subject matter and vocabulary, on lines of adaptability to children of ten or twelve years of age. The interest of the child must be aroused - and his interest at this age is not in the philosophy of cause and effect. His interest is in the drama of events rather than in their causal sequence: it is in adventure, not politics; in heroism, not statesmanship; in deeds, not philosophy; in people, not statistics.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 1104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary History of the American Revolution, 1763-1783 There would, perhaps, be no injustice in describing this book as the product of a new method, at least of a method never before so fully applied, in the critical treatment of the American Revolution. The outward history of that famous procedure has been many times written, and is now, by a new breed of American scholars, being freshly rewrit ten ih the light of larger evidence, and under the direction of i a more disinterested and a more judicial spirit. In the pres ent work, for the first time in a systematic and a fairly complete way, is set forth the inward history of our Rev olution - the history of its ideas, its spiritual moods, its motives, its passions, even of its sportive caprices and its whims, as these uttered themselves at the time, whether consciously or not, in the various writings of the two par ties oi Americans who promoted or resisted that great movement.

Download or read book England and America 1763 to 1783 Vol 1 written by Mary A. M. Marks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England and America, 1763 to 1783, Vol. 1: The History of a Reaction It is always interesting, and often instructive, to look back and see how the great events of the past appeared while they were taking place, and to compare contemporary views with the final verdict of history. One of the greatest uses of such retrospects is to promote a calmer and more tolerant judgment of the events of our own time. We learn that it is possible for majorities to be in the wrong, minorities in the right. And the character and political action of such minorities, and the manner in which the majorities treated their opposition, will be a pretty sure test of the character and moral standard of the nation as a whole at that particular time. Nobody now looks on the quarrel with our North American Colonies as anything but a hideous blunder. Nobody now says that the Ministers who brought it about deserved well of their country. Nobody now thinks that the conscientious but narrow-minded Sovereign, whose influence destroyed the last chances of reconciliation, showed himself thereby to be an enlightened ruler. It is surely worth our while to examine how the quarrel came about, and see what our great-great-grandfathers thought and said of it. Does anything in the story seem to furnish a parallel, or a contrast, for the times in which we live? History, they say, repeats itself. The Seven Years War doubled our National Debt, gave us Canada and Bengal, and lost us America. The Hanoverian Settlement, by bringing Hanover into union with Great Britain, involved us in the whole scheme of European politics and European wars.

Download or read book Washington s Crossing written by David Hackett Fischer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-02-01 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six months after the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution was all but lost. A powerful British force had routed the Americans at New York, occupied three colonies, and advanced within sight of Philadelphia. Yet, as David Hackett Fischer recounts in this riveting history, George Washington--and many other Americans--refused to let the Revolution die. On Christmas night, as a howling nor'easter struck the Delaware Valley, he led his men across the river and attacked the exhausted Hessian garrison at Trenton, killing or capturing nearly a thousand men. A second battle of Trenton followed within days. The Americans held off a counterattack by Lord Cornwallis's best troops, then were almost trapped by the British force. Under cover of night, Washington's men stole behind the enemy and struck them again, defeating a brigade at Princeton. The British were badly shaken. In twelve weeks of winter fighting, their army suffered severe damage, their hold on New Jersey was broken, and their strategy was ruined. Fischer's richly textured narrative reveals the crucial role of contingency in these events. We see how the campaign unfolded in a sequence of difficult choices by many actors, from generals to civilians, on both sides. While British and German forces remained rigid and hierarchical, Americans evolved an open and flexible system that was fundamental to their success. The startling success of Washington and his compatriots not only saved the faltering American Revolution, but helped to give it new meaning.

Book excerpt: It began in Boston, with angry colonists objecting to the tyranny of a king who ruled from an ocean away. It was voiced by patriots such as Sam Adams and Patrick Henry and echoed by citizens from New England all the way to the Carolinas. It was fought by many -- colonists and patriots, Loyalists and slaves, Frontiersmen and Indians, British and French soldiers. Over more than ten years, sides were taken, guns drawn, lives lost. But through it all, one man -- a general from Virginia named George Washington -- held the young colonies together and led them to victory, beating almost impossible odds. History lovers Betsy and Giulio Maestro tell this true story of extraordinary times, incredible drama, and the birth of a new nation.
