He suggests that the great events and confrontations of 1775Congresss belligerent economic ultimatums to Britain, New Englands rage militaire, the exodus of British troops and expulsion of royal governors up and down the seaboard, and the new provincial congresses and hundreds of local committees that quickly reconstituted local authority in Patriot handsachieved a sweeping Patriot control of territory and local government that Britain was never able to overcome. These each added to the Revolutions essential momentum so when the British finally attacked in great strength the following year, they could not regain the control they had lost in 1775. 520 $a Analyzing the political climate, economic structures, and military preparations, as well as the roles of ethnicity, religion, and class, Phillips tackles the eighteenth century with the same skill and insights he has shown in analyzing contemporary politics and economics. The result is a dramatic narrative brimming with original insights. 1775 revolutionizes our understanding of Americas origins. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Revolution, 1775-1783. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1775-1783. 611 0 $a Lexington, Battle of, Lexington, Mass., 1775. 611 0 $a Concord, Battle of, Concord, Mass., 1775. 651 0 $a Boston (Mass.) $x History $y Siege, 1775-1776. 651 0 $a Fort Ticonderoga (N.Y.) $x Capture, 1775. 610 10 $a United States. $b Continental Congress. 600 10 $a Paine, Thomas, $d 1737-1809. $t Common sense. 655 $a Military History $v Nonfiction $v Nonfiction 700 $a Phillips, Kevin, 941 $a 1 952 $l REPC017 $d 20220831010205.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3D171E2428F211EDB398BB3D49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
