This book boldly reinterprets colonial life and the origins of the American Revolution. Through a century-long history of three seaport towns — Boston, New York, and Philadelphia — Nash discovers subtle changes in social and political awareness and describes the coming of the revolution through popular collective action and challenges to rule by custom, law, and divine will.
