A History of the United States: Volume III. The American Revolution, 1761-1789. Illustrated
About this book
Volume III of Edward Channing's acclaimed A History of the United States focuses on the transformative period of the American Revolution, tracing the political, military, and ideological developments from 1761 to 1789. With clarity and scholarly precision, Channing explores the roots of colonial resistance, the break from British rule, and the difficult birth of a new nation.
Beginning in the aftermath of the French and Indian War, the volume examines the escalating tensions between Britain and its American colonies, including taxation, representation, and the rise of revolutionary sentiment. Channing provides in-depth analysis of key events—such as the Stamp Act Crisis, the Continental Congresses, the Declaration of Independence, and major battles—while also exploring the roles of diplomacy, public opinion, and internal divisions.
The book concludes with the formation of the United States Constitution, offering insight into how revolutionary ideals were translated into a functional government. Comprehensive and engaging, this volume is an essential resource for understanding the foundations of American democracy and independence.
