Now in its 4th edition, Revolutionary America explains the
crucial events in the history of the United States between 1763 and
1815, when settlers in North America rebelled against British rule, won
their independence in a long and bloody struggle, and created an
enduring republic.
Centering the narrative on the politics of the early republic,
Revolutionary America presents a concise history of the War of
Independence and lays a distinctive foundation for students and scholars
of the early American republic. Francis D. Cogliano pays particular
attention to the experiences of those who were excluded from the
immediate benefits and rights secured by the creation of the American
republic, including women, Native Americans, and Black Americans. This
fourth edition contains fully revised chapters to incorporate the
insights of the latest scholarship. It also includes:
- A new introduction that engages the 1619 versus 1776 debate
- An updated and revised bibliography to reflect the most recent
literature
- Consideration of the degree to which the Revolution transformed
American society
This book is essential reading for undergraduate classes in American
History and the history of the Revolutionary War.
