This volume focuses on the pivotal period of the American Revolution, explicating the political, social, and economic factors that contributed to the conflict between American colonies and Great Britain. It explores themes of governance, commerce, and the evolving national identity, providing readers with deep insights into the causes of the revolution. The opening of this volume sets the stage for a thorough examination of the American Revolution, emphasizing that it was not merely a colonial rebellion but a critical episode within a larger historical narrative involving both British and American interests. Mellen Chamberlain, the author of the first chapter, discusses how the revolution stemmed from constitutional disputes regarding the king's prerogatives versus colonial rights. He highlights specific grievances such as the Navigation Acts and the growing unrest due to British taxation and governance. Chamberlain delineates the motivations and perspectives of both revolutionary and loyalist factions, suggesting that the conflict was rooted in a profound struggle over the political and economic systems impacting both nations.
