Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the American Revolution and into the early republic, Americans fought with one another over the kinds of political expression and activity that independence legitimized. Liberty poles—tall wooden poles bearing political flags and signs—were a central fixture of the popular debates of the late eighteenth century. Revolutionary patriots had raised liberty poles to symbolize their resistance to British rule. In response, redcoats often tore them down, sparking conflicts with patriot pole-raisers. In the 1790s, grassroots Republicans revived the practice of raising liberty poles, casting the Washington and Adams administrations as monarchists and tyrants. Echoing the British response, Federalist supporters of the government destroyed the poles, leading to vicious confrontations between the two sides in person, in print, and at the ballot box. This elegantly written book is the first comprehensive study of this revealing phenomenon, highlighting the influence of ordinary citizens on the development of American political culture. Shira Lurie demonstrates how, in raising and destroying liberty poles, Americans put into practice the types of popular participation they envisioned in the new republic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published as a serial novel in the Boston Globe, and then syndicated in newspapers across the US, The Liberty Pole has now been expanded into a novel. When the Revolutionary War begins, the colonists on Martha's Vineyard have no choice but to remain neutral. The British Navy commands the seas, and Vineyarders know that their little island could quickly be taken over by the British if they side with the Patriots. That doesn't stop them from working behind the scenes, though, spying on the British soldiers that frequent their pubs, and quietly sending young men off in fishing boats to join the rebel army in Boston. But, when island soldiers begin to die in battle, the Vineyard can no longer stay on the sidelines, erecting a Liberty Pole to honor the fallen and show their support for the Patriots. When a British Man of War limps into port with its main mast shattered and tries to commandeer the island's newly raised Liberty Pole, three brave young women decide it's time to take matters into their own hands.
