Empire and Nation: The American Revolution in the Atlantic World Hardcover - 2005
by Eliga H. Gould (Editor); Peter S. Onuf (Editor)
First line
When did the American Revolution begin?
From the rear cover
In Empire and Nation, leading historians reconsider the American Revolution as a transnational event, with many sources and momentous implications for Ireland, Africa, the West Indies, Canada, and Britain itself.
The opening section of the book situates the origins of the American Revolution in the commercial, ethnic, and political ferment that characterized Britain's Atlantic empire at the close of the Seven Years' War. The second part focuses on the rebellion of the thirteen colonies, touching on slavery and ethnicity, the changing nature of religious faith, and ideas about civil society and political organization. Finally, contributors examine the effects of the American Revolution both within Britain's remaining imperial possessions and among the other states in the emerging "concert of Europe."
"The essays in this collection are in turns stimulating, provocative, and enlightening. They represent some of the best new work on the political history of the American Revolution and highlight some promising new directions in Atlantic history."--Journal of Southern History
