Book Description
In the American Revolution as in all revolutions, propaganda was extensively and effectively used. Had the Revolution been the work of a majority, united on methods and objectives, in sure control of the movement throughout, there would have been little necessity for propaganda. That it was not is obvious. The difficulties the leaders faced at every stage of the conflict, the coercion and violence by which thousands were forced into acquiescence or exile, the indifference and malingering of thousands of others, and the constant dissensions which disrupted the leadership itself are sure evidences that the Revolution was at best but the work of an aggressive minority. Propaganda was thus indispensable to those who first promoted resistance to specific British acts and ultimately urged revolution. - Introduction.

Tracts of the American Revolution, 1763-1776
Author: Merrill Jensen
Publisher: Hackett Publishing
ISBN: 9780872206939
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
This volume brings together seventeen of the most important pamphlets produced by the American colonies as they opposed British measures and policies after 1763, and as they disputed the issue of independence with one another between 1774 and 1776. The most famous pamphleteers--James Otis, John Dickinson, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Paine--are here; so too are lesser-known ones. Students of American history and political thought will find in these tracts rich evidence of the colonists' grievances against Britain, their methods of persuasion, and the development of political thought that led to the Declaration of Independence. A student-oriented introduction presents a capsule history of the events of the period and an analysis of the context of each tract.
