Angebote / Angebote:
The American Revolution stands as a major turning point in world history. Most
prominently, it resulted in the creation of the United States of America, a nation that has played a dominate role in world affairs for the past century. Equally as important it established a nation based on the republican model of government. In the world of the 18th Century where monarchs and emperors still wielded vast powers, the American model clearly placed the power of the nation with its people and not with a prince.
This book contains the key writings and speeches of several major figures in the U.S. Revolutionary War, specifically Thomas Jefferson's "A Summary View of the Rights of British America", Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death", Thomas Paine's "Common Sense", John Adams' "Thoughts on Government" and
the Speeches of George Washington. Also included is the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States of America.
