Synopsis
Disputing the notion that the American Revolution was ever so simple as American versus British, poor versus rich, radicals versus conservatives, good versus bad, Countryman explores the complex social dimensions of the conflict, the coalitions and diverse groups that sprang up, dissolved, and formed again as a generation went through decades of massive, disruptive, and confusing rebellions and war. The American Revolution considers the dynamic of the period as one in which a popular political movement was forced to address continually changing political and social realities.
