Description
The Crisis: A British Defense of American Rights, 1775-1776 by Neil Longley York. Published in 2016, this book explores the history of The Crisis, a London weekly published between January 1775 and October 1776. It was a bold and pithy publication that played on shared beliefs and fears among the British public about fundamental rights and the potential loss of those rights in Britain's American colonies. The Crisis was a significant publication in the rise of freedom of the press, as it attempted to create a transatlantic community of protest against the king. Despite being condemned for seditious libel, it continued to be published, with copies publicly burned and yet still reprinted in the colonies. This book sheds light on its place in history and its impact on the development of American independence. The Crisis stands as an example of how strident rhetoric can sometimes lead to radical political action, but not always.
