Summary:
"What if the
year
we have long commemorated as American's defining moment was in fact misleading? What if the real events that signaled the historic shift from colony to country took place earlier, and that the true story of our nation's emergence reveals a more complicated -- and divisive -- birth process? In this major work, iconoclastic historian and political chronicler Kevin Phillips upends the conventional reading of the American
Revolution
by puncturing the myth that 1776 was the struggle's watershed
year
. Mythology and omission have elevated 1776, but the most important
year
, rarely recognized, was 1775: the critical launching point of the war and Braitain's imperial outrage and counterattack and the
year
during which America's commitment to
revolution
took bloody and irreversible shape. Surveying the political climate, economic structures, and military preparations, as well as the roles of ethnicity, religion, and class, Phillips tackles the eighteenth century with the same skill and perception he has shown in analyzing contemporary politics and economics. He mines rich material as he surveys different regions and different colonies and probes how the varying agendas and expectations at the grassroots level had a huge effect on how the country shaped itself. He details often overlooked facts about the global munitions trade; about the roles of Indians, slaves, and mercenaries; and about the ideological and religious factors that played into the revolutionary fervor. The result is a dramatic account brimming with original insights about the country we eventually became. Kevin Phillips's 1775 revolutionizes our understanding of America's origins." --Container.
