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 A History of the American Revolution written by John R. Alden and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2013-07-10 with total page 847 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the American rebellion against England, written by one of America’s preeminent eighteenth-century historians, differs from many views of the Revolution. It is not colored by excessive worship of the Founding Fathers but, instead, permeated by sympathy for all those involved in the conflict. Alden has taken advantage of recent scholarship that has altered opinions about George III and Lord North. But most of all this is a balanced history—political, military, social, constitutional—of the thirteen colonies from the French and Indian War in 1763 to Washington’s inauguration in 1789. Whether dealing with legendary figures like Adams and Jefferson or lesser-known aspects of a much picked-over subject, Alden writes with insights and broad eloquence.

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.
