This book creates a new framework for the political and
intellectual relations between the British Isles and America in a
momentous period which witnessed the formation of modern states on
both sides of the Atlantic and the extinction of an Anglican,
aristocratic and monarchical order. Jonathan Clark integrates
evidence from law and religion to reveal how the dynamics of early
modern societies were essentially denominational. In a study of
British and American discourse, he shows how rival conceptions of
liberty were expressed in the conflicts created by Protestant
dissent's hostility to an Anglican hegemony. The book argues that
this model provides a key to collective acts of resistance to the
established order throughout the period. The book's final section
focuses on the defining episode for British and American history,
and shows the way in which the American Revolution can be
understood as a war of religion.
