Synopsis
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.

The True History of the American Revolution (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the American Revolution, not as a sudden burst of rebellion, but as the culmination of long-simmering tensions between the colonies and England. The author argues that the desire for independence was not a spontaneous reaction, but rather a carefully planned and deeply rooted aspiration. Through meticulous research, the author unveils a nuanced picture of the political landscape, highlighting the colonists' increasing self-governance and defiance of British regulations, particularly the lucrative practice of smuggling. This defiance, coupled with the colonies' unique system of "bargain and sale" legislation, where legislatures held power over governors' salaries, fueled English anxieties about losing control. The book sheds light on the complex dynamics between the crown-appointed governors and the popularly elected legislatures, revealing the deep divisions within colonial society. It explores the conflicting perspectives of the "patriot" and "loyalist" factions, offering a more comprehensive understanding of the Revolution's impact on different segments of the population. Ultimately, this book challenges romanticized narratives of the American Revolution, presenting a more complete and candid account of the events and motivations that led to the birth of a nation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330786598_0
