Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Revolution as an Aftermath of the Great War for the Empire, 1754-1763 Indeed, while British historians at length were led to adopt the nomenclature applied by German and other continental historians to all hostilities that took place between 1754 and 1763 in both the Old and New Worlds, American historians, by and large in the past, have rejected, and rightly so, it seems, the name the Seven Years' War to designate specifically the struggle during these years in North America with the fate of that continent at stake; so likewise many of them have rejected, as equally inadmissible, the name the French and Indian War Instead, the late Professor Osgood employed the title the Fourth Intercolonial War surely not a good one; George Bancroft called the war the American Revolution: First Phase still more inaccurate in some respects than the names he sought to avoid; Francis Parkman, with the are of a romanti cist, was at first inclined to call it the Old French War but finally, under the in uence of the great-man-in-history thesis, gave to his two remarkable volumes concerned with it the totally misleading name, Montcalm and Wolfe; finally, John Fiske, the philosopher-historian, as luminous in his views as he was apt to be careless in the details of historical scholarship, happily fastened upon the name the Great War. In the series on the British Empire before the American Revolution the writer has built upon Fiske's title and has called it the Great War for the Empire in order to emphasize not only the fact that the war was a very' great con ict both in its scope and in its lasting effects, as Fiske saw it with clearness, but also, as a war entered into specifically for the defense of the British Em pire, that it was by far the most important ever waged by Great Britain to this end.

This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colonial Merchants and the American Revolution, 1763-1776 A greater number of investigations of the American revolutionary epoch have been made in the last three or four decades than in all the preceding years. This dili gence has been the outgrowth of the modern spirit of historical research and has been productive of results which completely discredit the simple formulae by which the earlier historians explained the colonial revolt. In the light of these studies it is now almost universally agreed that the revolutionary movement was the product of a complexity of forces, governmental and personal, British and colonial, social, economic, geographical and religious. N o definitive history of the American Revol ution can be written until it becomes possible to appraise each one of these factors at its true value.

Download or read book Russian American Dialogue on the American Revolution written by Gordon S. Wood and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nine prominent modern Russian historians present essays on the American Revolution; US historians comment on the essays; and the Russians respond to the critiques, sometimes quite strongly. The Russians discuss topics similar to those considered by Americans, such as the politics of the Continental Congress, the Articles of Confederation, Shay's rebellion, and the ideas and actions of the Founding Fathers; but often apply Marxist principles that smell bad to the Americans.

Download or read book The Glorious Cause written by Robert Middlekauff and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-09 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to appear in the illustrious Oxford History of the United States, this critically acclaimed volume--a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize--offers an unsurpassed history of the Revolutionary War and the birth of the American republic. Beginning with the French and Indian War and continuing to the election of George Washington as first president, Robert Middlekauff offers a panoramic history of the conflict between England and America, highlighting the drama and anguish of the colonial struggle for independence. Combining the political and the personal, he provides a compelling account of the key events that precipitated the war, from the Stamp Act to the Tea Act, tracing the gradual gathering of American resistance that culminated in the Boston Tea Party and "the shot heard 'round the world." The heart of the book features a vivid description of the eight-year-long war, with gripping accounts of battles and campaigns, ranging from Bunker Hill and Washington's crossing of the Delaware to the brilliant victory at Hannah's Cowpens and the final triumph at Yorktown, paying particular attention to what made men fight in these bloody encounters. The book concludes with an insightful look at the making of the Constitution in the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 and the struggle over ratification. Through it all, Middlekauff gives the reader a vivid sense of how the colonists saw these events and the importance they gave to them. Common soldiers and great generals, Sons of Liberty and African slaves, town committee-men and representatives in congress--all receive their due. And there are particularly insightful portraits of such figures as Sam and John Adams, James Otis, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and many others. This new edition has been revised and expanded, with fresh coverage of topics such as mob reactions to British measures before the War, military medicine, women's role in the Revolution, American Indians, the different kinds of war fought by the Americans and the British, and the ratification of the Constitution. The book also has a new epilogue and an updated bibliography. The cause for which the colonists fought, liberty and independence, was glorious indeed. Here is an equally glorious narrative of an event that changed the world, capturing the profound and passionate struggle to found a free nation. The Oxford History of the United States The Oxford History of the United States is the most respected multi-volume history of our nation. The series includes three Pulitzer Prize winners, a New York Times bestseller, and winners of the Bancroft and Parkman Prizes. The Atlantic Monthly has praised it as "the most distinguished series in American historical scholarship," a series that "synthesizes a generation's worth of historical inquiry and knowledge into one literally state-of-the-art book." Conceived under the general editorship of C. Vann Woodward and Richard Hofstadter, and now under the editorship of David M. Kennedy, this renowned series blends social, political, economic, cultural, diplomatic, and military history into coherent and vividly written narrative.
Download or read book Crucible of War written by Fred Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 862 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a masterly narrative history of the Seven Years War, in which the British decisively eliminated French power north of the Caribbean, and yet also managed to ignite the slow-burning fuse of the American Revolution. Fred Anderson observes how the war displaced native peoples from their previously central role in an American diplomatic system; how it gave American colonists their first encounters with real live Englishmen; and how Americans were consequently emboldened to rally against the men who were once their masters. Anderson offers a wholly engrossing account of the conflict, interweaving the stories of kings and officers with those of traders, Native Americans, and colonial peoples.

This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary History of the American Revolution, 1763-1783, Vol. 2 For the two volumes composing the present work, the most natural point of separation has seemed to be the year 1776, - a fact properly enough recorded in the secondary dates placed on the title-page of each. Thus, the chief aim of the first volume is to trace the development of political discontent in the anglo-american colonies from about the year 1763 until the year when that discontent culminated in the resolve for American Independence; while the chief aim of the second volume is to trace the development of the Revolutionary struggle under the altered conditions pro duced by this change in its object and in its character, and to go on with the tale until the year when American In dependence was formally acknowledged by the British government.
