Forum: 1776. Views from the British World. Ambivalent Independence: The US Declaration in Hemispheric Perspective
Timed to coincide with the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence that launched a revolution that created the United States of America, this series of articles complicates traditional narratives of this transformative event by situating it in a larger British world context. This article considers the significance of the US Declaration of Independence in the western hemisphere. It argues first that the influence of…

J ohn G ilbert M c C urdy . Quarters: The Accommodation of the British Army and the Coming of the American Revolution
Though most historians know in a general way that the quartering of British troops was a key grievance prior to the American Revolution, they have only a limited and often mistaken understanding of the issue. This is not surprising. As John Gilbert McCurdy notes, there has never been a book-length treatment of the subject. Happily, this omission has now been redressed in McCurdy’s excellent monograph. The neglect of this topic is part of a larger…
First Martyr of Liberty: Crispus Attucks in American Memory
Boston’s Massacre
The event known as the Boston Massacre is among the most familiar in U.S. history, yet one of the least understood. Eric Hinderaker revisits this dramatic episode, examining the facts of that fateful night, the competing narratives that molded public perceptions, and the long campaign to transform the tragedy into a touchstone of American identity
David L. Preston. Braddock’s Defeat: The Battle of the Monongahela and the Road to Revolution
The Battle of the Monongahela—in which a detachment of French marines, Canadian militia, and Native American allies defeated British and Anglo-American forces led by General Edward Braddock—has long been recognized as a critical early engagement of the Seven Years’ War in North America, and Braddock himself has often been blamed for its outcome. In a book of uncommon range and depth, David L. Preston has now provided the best account of the event…
Stephen Warren. The Worlds the Shawnees Made: Migration and Violence in Early America
The historic experience of the Shawnees defies many common stereotypes of American Indian identity, a fact that Stephen Warren uses effectively in his fine new account of them. One of those stereotypes holds that Native peoples are deeply grounded in place, creating cultural meaning in sacred landscapes. The Shawnees, by contrast, embraced the experience of mobility during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; in 1755 Edmond Atkin called them…
