Summary
Details

""The American Revolution 1764-1788 and the Formation of the Federal Constitution"" is a comprehensive historical examination of the pivotal decades that shaped the United States. Authored by the renowned historian Samuel Eliot Morison, this work explores the ideological and political shifts that led from colonial discontent to the establishment of a new federal government. The book meticulously traces the timeline starting in 1764, analyzing the tensions between the American colonies and Great Britain, the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, and the subsequent struggle to create a stable governing framework.

Morison focuses on the intellectual foundations of the American experiment, detailing the debates and compromises that culminated in the drafting and ratification of the Federal Constitution. By examining the political developments of the era, the text provides deep insights into the transition from a collection of sovereign states to a unified nation. ""The American Revolution 1764-1788 and the Formation of the Federal Constitution"" remains a significant contribution to early American historiography, offering readers a clear and scholarly perspective on the birth of the republic and the complexities of constitutional formation.
