About This Book

A sweeping narrative traces North American history from early European exploration through colonial settlement up to the opening armed conflict of the Revolution. It moves chronologically while treating themes such as exploration, settlement patterns, Puritanism and other religious movements, relations with Indigenous peoples, slavery and civic liberty, colonial governance, and imperial wars and policies that provoked resistance. The author combines anecdote and character portraiture with interpretive reflections on historical causation, illustrating how personalities, institutions, and economic and cultural forces converged to produce the crisis that led to war.
