Download or read book Shaping North America 3 volumes written by James E. Seelye Jr. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-08-03 with total page 1167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating multivolume set provides a unique resource for learning about early American history, including thematic essays, topical entries, and an invaluable collection of primary source documents. In 1783, just months after the United States achieved independence from Great Britain, General George Washington was compelled to convince his officers not to undertake a military coup of the Congress of Confederation. Had the planned mutinous coup of the Newburgh Conspiracy gone forward, the American experiment may have ended before it even began. The pre-colonial and colonial periods of early American history are filled with accounts of key events that established the course of our nation's development. This expansive three-volume set provides entries on a wide variety of topics and themes in early American history to elucidate how the United States came to be. Written in straightforward language, the encyclopedic entries on social, political, cultural, and military subjects from the pre-Columbian period through the creation of the Constitution (roughly 1400–1790) will be useful for anyone wishing to deeply investigate the who, what, where, when, and why of early America. Additionally, the breadth of primary documents—including personal diaries, letters, poems, images, treaties, and other legal documents—provides readers with firsthand sources written by the men and women who shaped American history, both the famous and the less well known. Each of the three volumes also presents thematic essays on highlighted topics to fully place the individual entries within their proper historical context and heighten readers' comprehension.

Download or read book The Old Conjurer s Last Trick written by George Morrow and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story about the feuds between the members of the American Mission that negotiated the alliance that won the Revolutionary War. Most readers will remember the "Silas Deane Affair" in which Arthur Lee, notable to readers of this series for his newspaper war with James and John Mercer (Williamsburg At Dawn), secured Silas Deane's recall from Paris on a charge of malfeasance. Readers may be less familiar with the feud between Arthur Lee and the other American negotiator, Benjamin Franklin, a feud marked by vicious recriminations on both sides, with Franklin eventually triumphing over the man he called his "most malicious enemy." Yet a question remains: Was Lee insanely suspicious, as Franklin claimed and as many historians believe, or was he the victim of a cunning plot to impugn his character before Congress and with generations unborn? Readers may be surprised at the answer.

This book was released on with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Robert Morris (1734-1806), "the Financier of the American Revolution," was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution, a powerful committee chairman in the Continental Congress, an important figure in Pennsylvania politics, and perhaps the most prominent businessman of his day, he is today least known of the great national leaders of the Revolutionary era.This oversight is being rectified by this definitive publication project that transcribes and carefully annotates the Office of Finance diary, correspondence, and other official papers written by Morris during his administration as superintendent of finance from 1781 to 1784.
