They therefore present the American Revolution as the product of a gradual cultural change in English colonists. Over time, this process of Americanization differentiated and alienated the settlers from their compatriots and their government in Britain. This widely-taught narrative encourages students to view American independence as a reflection of emerging American nationhood. \u003ci\u003eThe Colonists'' American Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e introduces readers to a competing narrative which presents the Revolution as a product of the colonists' \u003ci\u003eEnglish\u003c\/i\u003eidentity and of English politics. This volume helps students recognize that the traditional narrative of the Revolution is an argument, not a just-the-facts account of this period in U.S. history.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten to make history interesting and relevant to students, this textbook provides a dissent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Companion Website xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: A Status Quo Revolution 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 English Origins 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 American Colonization 25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 African Slavery, White Supremacy, and Republicanism 39\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 The Glorious Revolutions in England and America, 1688-1689 53\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The Imperial Wars 69\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 From Deference to Suspicion 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 The Road to Revolution 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 The War 127\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion: Articles of Confederation 143\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEpilogue: The Natural Progress of Things 149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eQuestions for Further Discussion 157\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography 159\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 187\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49407094227287,"sku":"9781119591863","price":27.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781119591863.jpg?v=1730498154","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-colonists-american-revolution-9781119591863","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
