Americas in the Revolutionary Era

In the years from 1776 to 1825, wars for independence erupted throughout the Americas, from Boston to Buenos Aires. When it was over-in the span of only two generations-the vast and dominant colonial empires that had shaped the Americas lay in ruins, and 19 new independent nations had emerged. It had taken extraordinary forces to create not only the new landscape of our own hemisphere, but, in fact, all of what we now know as the modern world. Indeed, our own American Revolution had been one of those forces, along with that of France and the intellectual and economic ferment of both the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution.Eakin, Marshall is the author of 'Americas in the Revolutionary Era', published 2004 under ISBN 9781565858718 and ISBN 1565858719.
