{"product_id":"the-unknown-american-revolution-isbn-9780143037200","title":"The Unknown American Revolution","description":"In this audacious recasting of the American Revolution, distinguished historian Gary Nash offers a profound new way of thinking about the struggle to create this country, introducing readers to a coalition of patriots from all classes and races of American society. From millennialist preachers to enslaved Africans, disgruntled women to aggrieved Indians, the people so vividly portrayed in this book did not all agree or succeed, but during the exhilarating and messy years of this country's birth, they laid down ideas that have become part of our inheritance and ideals toward which we still strive today.List of Illustrations   XIII\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction   XV\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.
