[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page book review discussing Bernard Bailyn’s “The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution”. Bernard Bailyn’s “The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution” (1967, 1992) shows readers the importance and influence of the “pamphleteers” during the time of the American Revolution. Previous to Bailyn’s publication in 1967, most historical accounts of the Revolution included political and economical theories used to explain the change in the population toward Revolution. Bailyn’s text however shows the importance of the political writings at the time which appeared in newspapers, pamphlets, booklets, letters and published speeches in addition to the original influences of writers and philosophers in an attempt to rid the colonies of the corruption which originated through their affiliation with the Crown. While Patriots were originally a minority in the population and considered as “radicals”, in a short space of only fifteen years, their writings managed to “enlighten a population”.

Boston Massacre
[ send me this paper ]
The Boston Massacre is one of those events that are covered in history class and in history textbooks in a sentence or two. The incident is relegated to the status of an ‘important event’ that includes two referential points: it was the first conflict between the colonists and the English soldiers and the main character in the drama, Crispus Attucks, was a young Black man. This 6 page paper argues that the Boston Massacre, while being a pivotal event in the confrontation between the British Empire and its colony in America, was not the brutish misuse of power that has been portrayed.
