A narrative history of the largely unexplored events?starting almost a century before?that inspired the colonists to launch the American Revolution. In the latter half of the seventeenth century, tensions between colonists and the Crown were strikingly similar to those of 1775: representative legislatures had been suspended, the charters of colonies had been revoked, free trade was being impeded by Navigation Acts favoring the Crown, and heavy taxes were being levied unilaterally. The rebellion spread down the coast, and for the first time colonists risked their lives against English firepower. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Subject

Notes
- A narrative history of the largely unexplored events- starting almost a century before-that inspired the colonists to launch the American Revolution. Repressive actions by the Crown against its colonies in the years following the French and Indian War may have been the direct causes, but historian Carr takes a longer view, and argues that "the cumulative effect of more than one hundred years of British disrespect, mismanagement, and exploitation prepared the minds of the colonists for revolution."–From publisher description
