Book Overview
This book traces the development of the United States from the 1760s to the consolidation of the federal government during the 1790s. The author argues that the creation of the American republic was a major revolution; by the time it was complete the United States was radically different from Britain and the colonies out which it had emerged. Extensive coverage is given to the establishment of governments, first in the states then at the national level, and to social development in the states. It is argued that many of of the most significant changes took place at this level.

Excellent resource for Social Studies teachers.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
As a Social Studies teacher at a Middle School I found this book valuable as a resource to share the events and stories of the American Revolution with my students. The book is readable and provides the inside story on key events that shaped the American Revolution and our country. I recommend this book to anyone interested in American Revolution history and especially to teachers searching for insights to share with their students.
