Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Between 1763 and 1789, thirteen British colonies transformed from loyal subjects into an independent republic, establishing principles of self-governance that would influence democratic movements worldwide. This history examines how ideological convi…ctions, economic grievances, and military conflict converged to create a new nation founded on Enlightenment concepts of natural rights and popular sovereignty.Drawing on congressional records, private correspondence, military dispatches, and pamphlets, the narrative traces escalating tensions from the Seven Years' War through independence. British attempts to tax colonies without representation sparked organized resistance-boycotts, committees of correspondence, mass protests. The Boston Tea Party provoked punitive measures that united colonial opposition. Continental Congresses coordinated resistance while debating whether to seek reconciliation or independence.The book analyzes the revolutionary war's military and diplomatic dimensions. Washington's Continental Army faced professional British forces with limited resources, relying on guerrilla tactics, foreign alliances, and prolonged attrition. The French alliance proved decisive at Yorktown. Loyalist-patriot divisions fractured communities. Enslaved people sought freedom by supporting whichever side offered emancipation. Native Americans navigated competing imperial powers threatening their territories.Beyond battlefield narratives, the analysis explores revolutionary governance experiments. The Declaration of Independence articulated natural rights philosophy justifying rebellion. Articles of Confederation created weak central authority. The Constitutional Convention of 1787 designed federal structures balancing state sovereignty with national power. Debates over representation, slavery, and executive authority revealed competing visions. The Bill of Rights addressed anti-federalist concerns about tyranny.
