Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of Du Roi the Elder, Vol. 15: Lieutenant and Adjutant, in the Service of the Duke of Brunswick, 1776-1778 Urn fiinf Uhr Abends waren wir in Philadelphia, dem unver g'anglichen Monumente William Penns, in dem sein ruhiger, kalter, philosophischer Geist so sichtlich fortlebt. Der Quaker zeigt sich in der ersten Minute in dieser Stadt. Es gibt zuver lassig keinen Ort in der Welt mit Einwohnern, wo mehr Ruhe und Anstand herrscht, und alles diess ohne Polizey, ohne Militar. Man hort Sonntags nicht einen einzigen Wagen; rings um die Kirchen sind die Gassen gesperrt, kaum einen Menschen findet man an diesem Tage miissig in der Strasse, alles eilt zur Kirche Oder befindet sich in derselben. Erst Abends ergeht man sich massig. Kein Dorf von zwanzig Hausern in Europa kann stiller seyn. Man mag diess langweilig finden, aber es ist der wahre Geist, der in einer Republik wehen soll; diesem Geiste hat Pennsylvanien zu verdanken, dass es unter allen Staaten fiir den am meisten republikanischen gilt, und zu diesem Geiste tragt der Deutsche, der in dieser Stadt und in diesem Staat mehr als irgend wo vorherrscht, sehr viel, und gegenwartig das Meiste bey.

Download or read book The American Revolution Illustrated Edition written by Robert W. Coakley and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eBook edition of the American Revolution history has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. This book on the American Revolution consists of three parts-a brief narrative history of the war, a chronology of military events, and a bibliography. Each part requires a word of explanation. The narrative consists of one chapter on the colonial background of American military history and two on the Revolution itself. Part Two is a chronology, oriented toward military events, covering the period between the signing of the Treaty of Paris ending the Seven Years War in 1763 and the ratification by the Continental Congress some twenty years later of a second Treaty of Paris confirming American independence. Part Three, the bibliography, contains listings of over a thousand titles of books, articles, and published source material on the American Revolution. The emphasis is again on the land war, but proportionately the bibliography gives more attention to the political, social and economic aspects of the Revolution and to its naval phase than do either the narrative or the chronology.

Download or read book Broadsides and Bayonets written by Carl Berger and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carl Berger here relates the fascinating story of the propaganda and subversion activities of both factions during the American Revolutionary War. The writings of the period, the archives and literature, are filled with intriguing references to "secret arts and machinations," some relating to incidents familiar to students of American history, others touching on events long since forgotten. This book for the first time brings these known and little-known events into perspective, examining in a single, authoritative narrative their role and importance. In his Preface to Broadsides and Bayonets, Berger explains the great effort which was made by the supporters of both causes toward effective and widespread psychological warfare. "During its eight-year progression the war gave birth to many divisive operations, well planned in some instances and often involving minority groups on the scene as well as Englishmen and Americans. Drawn into the colonial struggle were French Canadians and German mercenaries, Indian tribes and Negro slaves, Irishmen, and other peoples." Propaganda activities were not confined to the actual wartime period by any means. The newspaper and pamphlet attacks on the British started well before 1776 and brought to a fighting edge the spirits of the American colonists. Each major protagonist planned intelligent and extensive campaigns to subvert and weaken the enemy camp. "It was a provocative war in which the atrocity story, kidnappings, false rumors, and bribery stirred the people. It was a conflict which inevitably spread to Europe and there engaged the talents of Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, in America's first organized overseas propaganda campaign." Broadsides and Bayonets is the absorbing study of the techniques of Revolutionary propaganda. The author encompasses a great lot of original material on the hot and cold war of the period, much of which has not been previously available in a single volume.
