Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True History of the American Revolution The purpose of this history of the Revolution is to use the original authorities rather more frankly than has been the practice with our historians. They appear to have thought it advisable to omit from their narratives a great deal which, to me, seems essential to a true picture. I cannot feel satisfied with any description of the Revolution which treats the desire for independence as a sudden thought, and not a long growth and development, or which assumes that every detail of the conduct of the British government was absurdly stupid, even from its own point of view, and that the loyalists were few in numbers and their arguments not worth considering. I cannot see any advantage in not describing in their full meaning and force the smuggling, the buying of laws from the governors, and other irregular conduct in the colonies which led England to try to remodel them as soon as the fear of the French in Canada was removed. Nor can I accept a description which fails to reveal the salient details of the great controversy over the rather peculiar methods adopted by General Howe to suppress the rebellion. This controversy was a part of the Revolution. It involved the interesting question of Howe's instructions from the ministry and the methods which the ministry intended to use with the revolted colonists.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Masons as Makers of America: The True Story of the American Revolution Washington's birth was contemporaneous with the introduction of Warranted Lodges in America. In 1734 Price's authority was extended and regular warrants were granted to Lodges as far South as Charleston; so that while Washington was still in his swaddling clothes, the star of American Masonry which arose in the East, may be said to have rested over the place where the young child lay.

This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Oration on the Real Nature and Value of the American Revolution As we meet to celebrate a most famous event, I propose to you now, after the lapse of almost eighty years, that we shall all calmly consider what has been, to ourselves and to mankind, z'ls real value. And this (contrary to usage on these occasions) I propose to do, by a simple and practical comparison of what the Colonies were or would now have been, if that event had not occurred, and what the united states have become in consequence of it. The customary course of Addresses on this day has been a historical review of the contest itself, mingled with philo sophical reflections upon the natural and social rights of man, and glowing eulogies of our Revolutionary Fathers, and, some times, of ourselves. I leave this beaten track, not because it is beaten; for its universality only bespeaks, (what is the truth) that such a treatment of the subject is both natural and proper. Nor, ought it ever to become wearisome to the ears of Americans. Such meditations, like the prayers of infancy, like the songs of home, never can grow stale. However brief, and simple, and rude in form they may be, they are full to bursting, With deep thought and ardent emotions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of the American Revolution We talk in a wise way about events in history; we even know the dates of certain great events. The names, too, of certain great men stand prominently forth and we are only too apt to believe that such and such an event was the making of such and such a man, when in reality it is the other way round. The man of power is bound to shape the events of his time. It is men who make history for all time, and this was notably the case during that wonderful period of the American struggle for independence, when a handful of determined men flung the gauntlet of defiance in the faces of the English King and his Parliament. They never thought of making history - these earnest, straightforward, manly men - when they presided at great councils and raised their voices in indignant protest, as, link by link, England forged the chains of slavery.

Download or read book The American Revolution written by William Edward Hartpole Lecky and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Revolution: Being the Chapters and Passages Relating to America American history, like recent American politics, is to be studied in the light of Europe. European in terests and movements have frequently been the domi nant factors in events of our national history, and the American citizen's intelligence of that history is too meagre if he has his knowledge merely in the study of American subjects from American schoolbooks and American authors. N o doubt American journals and schoolbooks of a past generation - fortunately it is not so true at present have conveyed false and exaggerated conceptions of British despotism and tyranny. The reading of a volume like Mr. Lecky's will do much properly to remove or avoid these harm ful impressions while at the same time it will confirm what is now the conviction of all intelligent English men and Americans alike, that the resistance of the Americans to the mistaken policy of the mother country undoubtedly contributed, as Fox said, to preserve the liberties of mankind. The intelligent reading of our Revolution should lead us to see that. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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 Fragments of Revolutionary History written by Gaillard Hunt and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fragments of Revolutionary History: Being Hitherto Unpublished Writings of the Men of the American Revolution, Collected and Edited, Under Authority of the District of Columbia Society, Sons of the Revolution A large and important part of the manuscript sources of information upon the American Revolution are in the custody of private individuals. These scattered fragments are often the missing links in chains of important events, and until they are gathered together and printed they are to all intent and purpose unknown and valueless. It might he supposed that the people who would be most likely to have such papers in their possession would be the descendants of the men who wrote them, and it was a recognition of this probability that prompted the District of Columbia Society, Sons of the Revolution, to authorize the publication of such original Revolutionary writings as members of the Society might contribute. The request for contributions met with a prompt and satisfactory response. Some of the letters, it is true, have little worth from a purely historical point of view, but are nevertheless useful, serving to place vividly before us, as living and breathing human beings, characters that lived a century ago. On the other hand, others of the MSS. have a decided historical interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The American Revolution Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by George Otto Trevelyan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Revolution, Vol. 2 The news of Lexington took Six weeks to reach Eng land, and came by an unusual channel. Massachusetts was eager to have the first word, but careful that that word should be an accurate one. A committee ap pointed by her Provincial Congress held Sittings in the district which had been the scene of hostilities, and took a large mass of evidence on oath. An account of the battle, addressed to the Inhabitants of Great Britain, was drawn up by another committee, over which Joseph Warren himself presided. The narrative was studiously moderate. The successes of the minute-men, and the disasters of the British, were related briefly, and in terms below the truth; as if the writers could not dwell with satisfaction on the details of a conflict between fellow countrymen. Americans, (so it was stated, ) had no quarrel with their sovereign, whose person, family, and crown they, were as willing to defend as ever. But they would face death rather than tamely submit to the persecutions Of a cruel ministry, and looked forward with assured hope to the time when, in a constitutional connection with the mother-country, Englishmen on both Sides of the Atlantic would live, always and all together, as one free, united, and happy people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beaumarchais and "the Lost Million" A Chapter of the Secret History of the American Revolution To this man our forefathers were told in the early days of the Revolution to look for succor and safety. The more they heard about him the more completely did his position seem a mystery and riddle to them. To their sober and practical minds it was hard to conceive of him as a benefi cent fairy who, unsolicited, was willing to send us millions of dollars' worth of the supplies we most needed to carry on the war, and who, as they were told by Arthur Lee, the earliest American commissioner in Europe, never suggested that he was to be paid for them, but merely hinted that it would be well for Congress to make him certain shipments of tobacco to conceal his transactions from the English. The Americans had no experience of merchants who carried on business in this way. It was not their interest, however, to inquire too closely into the source from which these supplies came, and they were inclined to settle down into the belief that Beaumarchais was a convenient frag-mm for the French government, which had so many reasons for encouraging us in our resistance, and so many more to conceal the aid it was giving us in our struggle with Great Britain. Whatever the Secret Committee or the Committee on Commerce of the old Congress may have thought or suspected, they did not, so long as the military supplies were provided in reasonable abundance, inquire with too much curiosity into their source. They accepted them with thankfulness, not doubting that they would discover in due time to whom they were indebted.
