The thirteen rebellious American colonies accounted for half of the total number of provinces in the British world in 1776. What of the loyal half? Why did some of Britain’s subjects feel so aggrieved that they wanted to establish a new system of government, while others did not rebel?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this authoritative history, Trevor Burnard and Andrew Jackson O’Shaughnessy show that understanding the long-term causes of the American Revolution requires a global view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs much as it was an event in the history of the United States, the American Revolution was an imperial event produced by the upheavals of managing a far-flung set of imperial possessions during a turbulent period of reform. By looking beyond the familiar borders of the Revolution and considering colonies that did not rebel—Quebec, Nova Scotia, Bermuda, India, the British Caribbean, Senegal, and Ireland—Burnard and O’Shaughnessy go beyond the republican, liberal, and democratic aspects of the emerging American nation, providing a broader history that transcends what we think we know about the Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46792717172972,"sku":"9780300280180","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24799543482294.jpg?v=1757009421"},{"product_id":"planters-merchants-and-slaves-by-trevor-burnard-9780226639246","title":"Planters, Merchants, and Slaves","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with any enterprise involving violence and lots of money, running a plantation in early British America was a serious and brutal enterprise. In the contentious \u003cem\u003ePlanters, Merchants, and Slaves\u003c\/em\u003e, Burnard argues that white men did not choose to develop and maintain the plantation system out of virulent racism or sadism, but rather out of economic logic because—to speak bluntly—it worked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese economically successful and ethically monstrous plantations required racial divisions to exist, but their successes were measured in gold, rather than skin or blood.
