Rahobeth Benson’s Reviews > The American Revolution: A History > Status Update

A quick broad overview of the events in the British American colonies of the 18th century that ultimately lead to the birth of the US Constitution and a new nation. Gordon Wood does an excellent job of hitting the important events that unfolded, beginning with the Crown's attempt to increase revenue to pay its debts from the 7 Years War and ending with the ratification of the US Constitution. A great read.
