Excerpt from A View of the Causes and Consequences of the American Revolution: In Thirteen Discourses, Preached in North America Between the Years 1763 and 1775: With an Historical Preface

Sir,

In prefixing your name to a work avowedly hostile to that Revolution in which you bore a distinguished part, I am not conscious that I deserve to be charged with inconsistency. I do not address myself to the General of a Conventional Army; but to the late dignified President of the United States, the friend of rational and sober freedom.

As a British subject I have observed with pleasure that the form of Government, under which you and your fellow-citizens now hope to find peace and happiness, however defective in many respects, has, in the unity of it's executive, and the division of it's legislative, powers, been framed after a British model. That, in the discharge of your duty as head of this Government, you have resisted those anarchical doctrines, which are hardly less dangerous to America than to Europe, is not more an eulogium on the wisdom of our forefathers, than honourable to your individual wisdom and integrity.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the causes and consequences of the American Revolution, a pivotal event in global history that reshaped the political landscape. The author examines the motivations and actions of both the revolutionaries and those who remained loyal to the British Crown. He explores the complex interplay of political, social, and religious factors that led to the conflict, shedding light on the divergent ideologies that fueled the rebellion. The book offers a nuanced perspective on the revolution's roots, exploring how ingrained historical grievances, economic tensions, and differing philosophies on governance contributed to the rupture between the colonies and the British Empire. The author also delves into the role of prominent figures on both sides of the conflict, offering insights into their motivations and strategies. The book's central thesis revolves around the notion that the American Revolution was not simply a struggle for independence but a battle between contrasting visions of governance and societal structures. The author argues that the revolution was a manifestation of a long-standing tension between those who championed republicanism and those who supported a more traditional monarchical order. Through a detailed analysis of the period's political discourse and the actions of key players, the author provides a compelling account of the ideological underpinnings of the revolution, offering a valuable historical resource for understanding one of the most important events in the development of the United States. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331146421_0
