The American Revolution: A Concise History from Colonial Rebellion to the War for Independence to the Constitution

By Eric Porterfield

Relive the revolution that gave birth to the United States as it stands today... The word 'Independence' is, quite frankly, a very common word today - celebrated, venerated, and metaphorically worn as a badge by every citizen of a democracy, such as the United States. And it has a deep association with the word 'Freedom.' For any American today, these two form the basis of their fundamental rights - you were born with them, and you will die with them. But have you ever thought about the weight that these two words carry? Or the toll they left in their wake within the bloodied pages of the history of the United State s? In his famous Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln evoked the pillars on which the founding fathers established America: "...a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." This "new nation" was built by the toil, sweat, and blood of thousands of Americans... and the founding fathers had to play a vital role in this revolution. Because 18th century America was simply an extension of the British Empire, one that the reigning lords of the isles wanted to subjugate under their various reformations and acts... Acts that stripped the hardworking people of America from living a life of freedom. So, what course did those determined to separate themselves from the tyranny of England take? That's what this book explores... retracing the history of the American Revolution and celebrating the contribution of those brave men and women who turned over a new leaf that ended with American Independence. Inside, you'll discover: How the Seven Years' War set the stage for the greatest revolution in American history Of Massacres and "Tea Parties" - how Boston became the hotbed of revolution and resistance against the British rule The 15 acts from the British parliament that formed a noose around the hardworking populace of the America Roots of a modern Congress - why the 13 colonies resorted to creating their own parliament (and how it laid the foundations of a future governing body) The key battles and sieges that formed a turning point and were crucial in shaping the course of the American Revolution Untold stories of 9 influential and revolutionary women and their contribution toward American Independence In the aftermath - explore the trials and triumphs of a new nation born in the aftermath of the American Revolution And much more. From the very seeds of the Rebellion to the Declaration of Independence and the years of a new dawn, this book expertly covers every nuance of this historical conflict.
