The Cambridge Companion to the Declaration of Independence
The Cambridge Companion to the Declaration of Independence offers a wide-ranging and accessible anthology of essays for understanding the Declaration's intellectual and social context, connection to the American Revolution, and influence in the United States and throughout the world.

The Founding Fathers Reconsidered
The Founding Fathers Reconsidered is meant to be a bridge. Like most academic historians of the American Revolution, R. B. Bernstein was frustrated that America's best-selling biographies of the Founding Fathers give the impression that no research has been done on the American Revolution during the last fifty years. So he set about “synthesizing the remarkable work that so many of my colleagues have produced” (p. xi). A finalist for the George W…
Primitive Accumulation
Nearly every free American who lived through the recession of the 1780s blamed it, in part, on the thirteen state governments. However, two main camps staked out diametrically-opposed positions on what precisely the states had done wrong. James Madison, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and many of the other men who went on to write the United States Constitution believed the states had damaged the economy by caving in to farmers' demands fo…
