Everybody's Revolution

By Thomas Fleming

The story of the American Revolution starring the many men and women from various cultural backgrounds who made significant contributions in the fight for independence.The dimensions of the patriot cause during the American Revolution were far more multicultural and multiethnic than we have for so long believed. Women, African Americans, Jews, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, European immigrants, and young adults played leading roles in the struggle for independence from Great Britain. Today it seems students and teachers want to know more about the past than what a few famous white men did. They want to understand how women and men of different cultures and backgrounds contributed to our early history, and to making America what it is today.

Customer Reviews

An excellent job of covering the participation of these diverse ethnic groups

Thomas Fleming's EVERYBODY'S REVOLUTION: A NEW LOOK AT THE PEOPLE WHO WON AMERICA'S FREEDOM goes beyond your usual American Revolution history to document the involvement of women, Jews, Native Americans, Hispanics and teens in the struggle for independence from Great Britain. Chapters do an excellent job of covering the participation of these diverse ethnic groups and filling in gaps often evident in more general history titles.
