Beskrivning
The self-evident truths of 1776 hover over America’s divisions–as inspiring ideals, as measures of how far the nation still must come, as the hypocrisy of slaveholders, as intrusions on local traditions. The revolutionary politics of 1776 turned from securing the rights of Englishmen to establishing the authority of an independent nation. The battlefields of 1776 cast the military mould for the war years to come and gave an enduring symbol of gritty determination. Drawing together the eloquence of Jefferson and the insistence of Paine, the strategies of generals and the audacious tactics of armies on the move and the powerful political movement that transformed colonies into states, this history of 1776 is a leading scholar’s distillation of the pivotal events that must be reckoned with two hundred and fifty years after the nation’s birth.

"At a time when the guardrails of our democracy are being tested, it is vitally important to understand the foundations of American government. Edward J.
