Conceived in Crisis argues that the American Revolution was not
just the product of the Imperial Crisis, brought on by Parliament's
attempt to impose a new idea of empire on the American colonies. To
an equal or greater degree, it was a response to the inability of
individual colonial governments to deliver basic services, which
undermined their legitimacy. Using Pennsylvania as a case study,
Christopher Pearl demonstrates how a history of ineffective
colonial governance precipitated a process of state formation that
was greatly accelerated by the demands of the Revolutionary War.
The powerful state governments that resulted dominated the lives of
ordinary people well into the nineteenth century. Many questions
vital to the nascent American society-including economic
development, party formation, citizenship, public education, the
separation of church and state, and the entrenchment of slavery
through law and regulatory policy-were answered at the state rather
than the federal level. Conceived in Crisis makes sense of the
trajectory from weak colonial to strong revolutionary states, and
in so doing explains the limited success of efforts to consolidate
state power at the national level during the early Republican
period.
