American History (American Revolution and Civil War)

“The Revolution that created the United States and the Civil War that nearly dismembered it paralleled one another substantively in their origins and impact. Each grew out of fervent efforts to preserve and protect, rather than to overthrow, long-established principles and practices. And, yet, despite such conservative origins, both the American Revolution (here meaning not just the war, but the key legal, political, and social developments from the 1760’s to around 1800) and the Civil War, in combination with post-war reconstruction, produced truly revolutionary changes in American thought and practice with regard to equality, individual rights, majority rule, and the proper balance between central and local authority.”
