At the time, no one called it the ?American Revolution?: former colonists still regarded themselves as Virginians or Pennsylvanians, not Americans, while John Adams insisted that the British were the real revolutionaries, for attempting to impose radical change without their colonists' consent. With The Cause, Ellis takes a fresh look at the events between 1773 and 1783, recovering a war more brutal than any in American history save the Civil War and discovering a strange breed of ?prudent? revolutionaries, whose prudence proved wise yet tragic when it came to slavery, the original sin that still haunts our land. Written with flair and drama, The Cause brings together a cast of familiar and forgotten characters who, taken together, challenge the story we have long told ourselves about our origins as a people and a nation."-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Revolution, 1775-1783. 651 0 $a United States $x Causes. $y Revolution, 1775-1783 $x Causes. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $z America $x History $y 18th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y To 1775. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1775-1783. 655 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 4 945 $a lpt 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013211.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20230902011557.0 952 $l BKPC251 $d 20220304145928.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20220304010430.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C1A86D8E9B8811ECA2E7EC974EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
