Description
The Royalist Revolution: Monarchy and the American Founding Eric Nelson's thought-provoking analysis challenges traditional views of the American Revolution. He argues that many of the founding fathers saw themselves as rebels against the British Parliament, rather than the Crown. This revisionist account interprets the patriot campaign of the 1770s as an insurrection in favor of royal power. Nelson's work reminds us that there was a spectrum of opinion among the most ardent patriots and that British influence played a significant role in shaping the new country's political institutions. A brilliant and provocative analysis, The Royalist Revolution offers a fresh perspective on one of America's most pivotal moments.
