Download or read book The Revolutionary Years 1775 1789 written by William R. Nester and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Revolutionary Years, 1775-1789, reveals how the nation’s leaders asserted power during the fourteen crucial years from the Revolution’s first shots at Lexington in April 1775 to the adoption of the Constitution in 1789. The American Revolution unfolded in two phases, winning independence and then creating "a more perfect union” that guaranteed representation and natural rights for all citizens. To prevail in those struggles the Founders had to tap and eventually master two powerful historic forces--nationalism and liberalism. National leadership is about mastering the dynamic among a country’s interests, power, and policies. Although military battles were relatively infrequent during the leisurely pace of eighteenth-century warfare, political battles were incessant. Those who championed the United States of America triumphed during the sweltering, seemingly endless months at Philadelphia from May to September 1787, when the delegates hammered out the Constitution. With the Constitution’s ratification, the Revolution came to a symbolic and substantive end. Ever since, Americans have debated, and at times shed blood over, just what the Founders intended and how to realize those ideals. In this fascinating book, William Nester examines how the Founders’ experience in revolution and nation-building caused them to understand leadership as an art--one that ultimately became the distinctive art of American power.

Download or read book The War for Independence and the Transformation of American Society written by Harry M. Ward and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The War fo Independence had a substantial impact on the lives of all Americans, establishing a nation and confirming American identity. The War for Independence and the Transformation of American Society focuses on a conflict which was both civil war and revolution and assesses how Americans met the challenges of adapting to the ideals of Independence and Republicanism. The war effected political reconstruction and brought economic self sufficiency and expansion, but it also brought oppression of dissenting and ethnic minorities, broadened the divide between the affluent and the poor and strengthened the institution of slavery. Focusing on the climate of war itself and its effects on the lives of those who lived through it, this book includes discussion of: *Recruitment and Society *The Home Front *Constraints on Liberty *Women and family during the war years *African Americans and Native Americans The War for Independence is a fascinating account of the wider dimension to the meaning of the American Revolution.

Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to trace the military history of the American people during the era of the American Revolution, 1763-1789. It is more an effort to examine military policy and attitudes toward war than it is an exercise in battles and campaigns. By enlarging upon the traditional dates of the War of Independence (1775-1783), I have sought, additionally, to examine the causes and the consequences of the Revolution as they relate to things military. - Preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the American Revolution, not the French Revolution of 1789, which was the first example of a war being fought through a mobilization of a nation's people, and thus fundamentally different from the wars that had been previously fought at the behest of sovereigns. Lexington and Concord were but a single day in what would be nine years of fighting in the War of American Independence. Nonetheless, that day was a remarkable mobilization of Americans in response to a British patrol. By 1775, the colonies were well within the grips of what has been referred to as the rage-militare, where a collective desire to fight was to be found in every aspect life in the thirteen colonies. However, the single day in April 1775 and the rage militaire did not last; the Continental Army and the militias of each colony were the two organizations that would see the War for American Independence to its end. The fact that the Continental Army consisted of only the poor and disenfranchised, who fought only because they could afford to do nothing else, ignores the American patriots that these men became as a result of their service. Additionally, the low opinion of the militia on the battlefield overlooks the basic fact that these men served, and as such, the militia was a large group of men, mobilized for the common cause of American Independence. Finally, many Americans who did not fight in the Continental Army or Militias, but provided support as merchants and camp followers, also mobilized in support of the cause. Statements to the effect that the "loyalists" were actually the majority do not seem to follow any rationale as there were so many times and places that such a majority, if it truly existed as a majority, could and would have made its presence felt but did not. There were definitely those that did not support independence from Britain, but history would have been much different had they truly been the majority. Whereas the American Revolution was far less bloody than the French, and it did not include a major change in the class standing of the average American, it fundamentally changed the government of the land through the removal of British rule and establishing of a national congress. This could only have been accomplished through the mobilization of Americans in many ways identified. The American Revolution may have been different than other revolutions in history, but it was a revolution nonetheless, and the first of its kind.
