Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of the Revolution in New Hampshire: Delivered Before the New Hampshire Society of Sons of the American Revolution in Concord, N. H., July 9, 1903 On the other hand, the colonists insisted that they were English men, and that they had neither yielded or lost any of their rights as such by settlement in America; that at home no tax could be levied or collected but in pursuance of the act or consent of the house of commons, in which all resident Englishmen were directly or indirectly represented; that, as neither the king nor parliament had provided such representation for them, they could not be taxed lawfully against their will, and that, as taxation without representation is tyranny, they could not, as self-respecting Englishmen, consent to it. Between vassalage and representative government there is a great gulf fixed. On the one side are the standards of power and prerogative, on the other the banners of liberty and law. Hence the differences which separated the king and the colonists were based upon principles for which each contended as a matter of right. The people could not yield and preserve their manhood and integrity as Englishmen. The king regarded them as rebels denying him his rightful authority. There seems to have been no earnest attempt to meet the issue by granting colonial representation, or by compromise measures or agree ments which should be beneficial to king and people. In England the king and ministry held the enactments of parliament concerning the colonies as conclusive and final. During all the discussions in parliament no authoritative assurance was given that England would abandon its purpose to tax America. The necessity for the revenue such taxation was expected to produce was uniformly asserted by those in power. The right of parliament to tax the colonists seems not to have been doubted by king or ministry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Hampshire was one of the first colonies to declare its independence from British rule. The patriotism and courage demonstrated in that act were by no means unprecedented--just before they began the Revolution, state residents attacked British-occupied Fort William and Mary in December 1774. While no battles were fought within the borders of the Granite State, these loyal sons of liberty contributed more men than any other state. Author Bruce D. Heald, PhD, celebrates the achievements and experiences of New Hampshire throughout the American Revolution. Learn how General John Stark gained battle experience in the French and Indian War that allowed him to successfully lead the First New Hampshire Regiment. Heald offers an in-depth description of the state's regiments, forts (including the Fort at Number 4 in Charlestown) and distinguished Patriots in addition to the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Book excerpt: From one of our most acclaimed and original colonial historians, a groundbreaking book tracing the critical "long year" of 1774 and the revolutionary change that took place from the Boston Tea Party and the First Continental Congress to the Battles of Lexington and Concord. A WALL STREET JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR In this masterly work of history, the culmination of more than four decades of research and thought, Mary Beth Norton looks at the sixteen months leading up to the clashes at Lexington and Concord in mid-April 1775. This was the critical, and often overlooked, period when colonists traditionally loyal to King George III began their discordant “discussions” that led them to their acceptance of the inevitability of war against the British Empire. Drawing extensively on pamphlets, newspapers, and personal correspondence, Norton reconstructs colonial political discourse as it took place throughout 1774. Late in the year, conservatives mounted a vigorous campaign criticizing the First Continental Congress. But by then it was too late. In early 1775, colonial governors informed officials in London that they were unable to thwart the increasing power of local committees and their allied provincial congresses. Although the Declaration of Independence would not be formally adopted until July 1776, Americans had in effect “declared independence ” even before the outbreak of war in April 1775 by obeying the decrees of the provincial governments they had elected rather than colonial officials appointed by the king. Norton captures the tension and drama of this pivotal year and foundational moment in American history and brings it to life as no other historian has done before.
