The American Revolution was perhaps the most significant event in
modern history. It forever demonstrated the ability of a
significantly smaller group of people to rebel against their
oppressors. On top of that it also gave birth to what would become
the most powerful country in the world. And while these feats were
impressive, it was the drafting of a constitution, the forging of a
union between divided states, and the fashioning of a truly
democratic form of government that caused this event to go down in
the annals of history. Thus, the Historical Dictionary of
Revolutionary America is not just about the grievances that led to
war nor the actual war itself, but more particularly the subsequent
period of trial and error - when success was far from certain and
failure could never be ruled out - in which the thirteen states and
those that followed were welded into the United States of America.
