Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers new insights into the Boston merchants' role in the American Revolution. The author examines letters, petitions, reports, and other sources to reveal the complexities of the merchants' motivations and the strategies they employed in their long-running dispute with British authorities. The book places particular emphasis on the merchants' evolving grievances against Britain's revenue and trade policies, which ultimately culminated in the non-importation movement and the breakdown of relations between the colonies and the mother country. The book positions the merchants' actions within the broader context of British mercantilism and the rise of American independence, and explores the thematic depth of the merchants' arguments for self-governance and economic freedom. The book concludes by assessing the significance of the merchants' contributions to the American Revolution and their enduring legacy in shaping American political thought.
