Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Revolution The history of the Revolutionary War may be divided into four well-marked periods. The first period begins in 1761 with the resistance of James Otis to the general search-warrants, and it may be regarded as ending in June, 1774, when the acts for changing the government of Massachusetts were intended to take effect. This period of constitutional discussion culminated in the defiance of Great Britain by the people of Boston when they threw the tea into the harbour; and the acts of April, 1774, by which Parliament replied to the challenge, were virtually a declaration of war against the American colonies, though yet another year elapsed before the first bloodshed at Lexington. The second period opens with June, 1774, when Massachusetts began to nullify the acts of Parliament, and it closes with the Declaration of Independence.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Paragraph History of the American Revolution This little book extends to the American Revo lution the method which, in A Paragraph History of the United States, was applied to the history of the continent and nation entire. To those who are familiar with the struggle of the Colonies for independence, it will perhaps seem more remark able for what it omits than useful for what it con tains. But it is not intended for those who are familiar with that struggle for such rather as have never read a history proper, or who have heard only by chance and uncertain mention what our country's fathers did, and in these busy cen tennial times have only moments by the way in which to trace the outline. I hear that the Para graph History of the United States has gone into a school here and there as a text-book: possibly this, too, may serve as an incentive and directory to that broader, deeper, fuller study which should hold a first place in the attention of every Ameri can, old and young.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leading Events of the American Revolution The preparation of this little volume has been attended With much difficulty, because of the disagreement of authori ties whose statements often conflict. Thus, the storming of Stony Point is given by some as July 15, and by others as July 16, 1779. Both dates are correct, as the assault occurred about midnight, but July 15 is preferred. The surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga is variously recorded as having oc curred ou the 16th and on the i7th of October, 1777. Both of these dates also are correct, for the surrender was arranged on the 16th but went into effect the following day. We give the latter as that most commonly received.

Aside from the splendid achievements of the National Society in a material way, there is one feature of its com prehensive work that appeals to me with especial tender ness. The dividing line, which was so pronounced between the women of the North, and of the South, following the Civil war, has vanished before a fuller knowledge and a more generous appreciation of the worth and intellectual ability, each for the other.

Download or read book History of the American Revolution written by Samuel Farmer Wilson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the American Revolution: With a Preliminary View of the Character and Principles of the Colonists, and Their Controversies With Great Britain Tan first intention of the writer of this book was to prepare an abstract of some one of the larger histories of the American Revolution, in a more compact form than any which he had met with in his own reading. The object was to present a convenient volume, which should embrace all the principal occurrences, civil, military, and political, in America and Europe, having a direct in uence on the principles and progress of the revolutionary contest, at the same time that it should avoid all minor details not positively necessary to the continuity or integrity of the narrative. The military events were to be made less pro minent than is usual; and all circumstantial accounts of battles and mancetwes in the field, beyond leading incidents important for the understanding of the issue, were to be avoided. After examining several of the principal authorities, the design of following any particular author was abandoned, and the present plan adopted, of re-writing and re-arranging the Whole, without regard to the order or language of previous histories. These are the claims of the work to originality. Its merits are submitted to the judgment of the public. The writer has diligently compared the received authorities, and exercised his judgment freely in selecting and arranging the essential facts; and he thinks he has brought within the compass of a volume convenient for popular use, a connected narrative of the revolution, em bracing all the principal events - foreign and domestic. Those portions which relate to the foreign negotiations, are more full in proportion, than the other divisions of the sub ject. They will be found, it is behaved, correct and valuable.
