Revolutionary America describes and explains the crucial events in the history of the United States between 1763 and 1815, when settlers in North America rebelled against British authority, won their independence in a long and bloody struggle and created an enduring republic.

Format:Paperback
This is a well written account of the American Revolution, covering a wide range of topics including American Indians, African Americans and women. The language is clear and approachable enough for a reader new to the subject, but there is narrative analysis worthy of the more experienced scholar.
