Moving beyond traditional texts, this revealing volume explores the
world of the average citizens who played an integral part in the
Revolutionary era of American history. American Revolution looks at
one of the most significant eras in American history through the
eyes of its least famous, least studied citizens. It is an
eye-opening collection of essays demonstrating how the wrenching
transformation from English colonies to an emerging nation affected
Americans from all walks of life. American Revolution features the
work of 14 accomplished social historians, whose findings are
adding new dimensions to our understanding of the Revolutionary
era. But some of the most fascinating contributions to this volume
come from the people themselves-the anecdotes, letters, diaries,
journalism, and other documents that convey the experiences of the
full spectrum of American society in the mid- to late-18th century
(including women, African Americans, Native Americans, immigrants,
soldiers, children, laborers, Quakers, sailors, and farmers).
Fourteen distinguished historians examine the social effects of the
American Revolution on the people who lived through it Includes
diary entries, personal letters, news stories, and other
first-person accounts of people often ignored in history
