Synopsis
Excerpt from The Beginnings of the American Revolution, Vol. 2: Based on Contemporary Letters, Diaries and Other Documents
Ach week the line became more marked between the Tories and those whose sympathies lay with the country in its struggles, which now tended more and more openly and inevitably toward independence. The in fluence of the Committee of Correspondence in giving form to the Solemn League and Covenant drew attention to its power, and a town meeting was held on June 27th in Boston, which continued all that day and a part of the next, while the Tory merchants made one last rally against the Committee, urging its dismissal. Rowe1 notes the de bates as very warm on both sides. The Committee were opposed by Messrs. Treasurer Gray, Thomas Gray, Saml. Barrat, Edw. Paine, Francis Greene, John Amory, Saml. Eliot, and Ezek. Goldthwait; and upheld by Saml. Adams, Josiah Quincy, Drs. Warren and Young, Benj. Kent, and Wm. Molineaux.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to the heart of the American Revolution, delving into the tumultuous year of 1774 as tensions between the colonies and Great Britain escalate. The author chronicles the growing unrest in Boston, where the British military presence intensifies and the city faces economic hardship following the closure of its port. The reader witnesses the dramatic events that unfold as patriots and loyalists clash, demonstrating the power of the Committee of Correspondence and the increasing polarization of American society. The author explores the complexities of political maneuvering, the shifting allegiances, and the growing sense of defiance among the colonists. The book also sheds light on the strategic moves undertaken by both sides, including the seizure of provincial powder at Cambridge by British troops, an action that ignited further anger and spurred the colonists towards armed rebellion. The book offers a gripping account of a pivotal moment in American history, capturing the anxieties, fears, and hopes that fueled the revolution.
