Book Overview
The Colonists' American Revolution aims to make history interesting and relevant to students by making the classroom a venue for debate between competing narratives, rather than memorization of a given narrative. This text helps students recognize that the tradition narrative of the Revolution is an argument; in presenting a dissenting interpretation of America's founding, it invites them to evaluate both narratives on the strength of evidence.
This book presents the Revolution as an event that reflected colonial culture and politics, rather than as the national event it became retrospectively in the late-eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. By providing a colonial scholar's view of the Revolution (a look to the Revolution from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries), this dissenting companion to the US History textbook offers a students an alternate understanding of the Revolution's chronology, causes, ends, and accomplishments.
