1775 A Good Year for Revolution
Phillips Kevin
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 Britain’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 18th 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.
