- Summary:
- As England, overwhelmed by debt following its successful war against France, began imposing harsh new taxes and tariffs on the colonies, the independence movement grew in strength. Despite charismatic leadership, however, the movement never attracted the support of more than half the colonists. This splendid history sheds new light on many key, often overlooked aspects of the Revolution, and offers compelling portraits of the major figures of the time.
