Inhaltsangabe

This book examines the genesis and early development of the United States' history. It investigates the nature and character of the materials assembled for the work, and the roadblocks and progress that the author faced as a researcher. Some of the key topics this extensive piece covers are the political, economic, and social events surrounding America's founding. These events are examined through the lens of primary source documents, including political correspondence, administrative records, and the personal papers of historical figures. Of special interest is the author's insights into the period of colonial unrest that immediately preceded the American Revolution. The author contends these documents offer a more detailed and nuanced account of the founding era and that they challenge some of the established historical narratives surrounding it. This book is significant for its comprehensive collection of primary source material and its fresh perspective on the origins of the United States.
