It is an eye-opening collection of essays demonstrating how the wrenching transformation from English colonies to an emerging nation affected Americans from all walks of life. American Revolution features the work of 14 accomplished social historians, whose findings are adding new dimensions to our understanding of the Revolutionary era. But some of the most fascinating contributions to this volume come from the people themselves--the anecdotes, letters, diaries, journalism, and other documents that convey the experiences of the full spectrum of American society in the mid- to late-18th century (including women, African Americans, Native Americans, immigrants, soldiers, children, laborers, Quakers, sailors, and farmers). 410 0$aPerspectives in American social history. 607 $aUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yRevolution, 1775-1783$xSocial aspects 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$yTo 1865 676 $a973.3/1 701 $aFrank$b Andrew$f1970-$01775147 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823834803321 996 $aAmerican Revolution$94289550 997 $aUNINA
