The Gaelic and Indian Origins of the American Revolution

Mehr zum Buch

The Gaelic and Indian Origins of the American Revolution offers a new, comparative history of the American Revolution that puts colonized people at the center of the story. It shows how Irish-speaking Catholics, Scottish Highlanders, and American Indians remade the British empire--and convinced American colonists to leave it in the process. To understand Americans' contemporary struggles with diversity, this complex imperial history is essential.
