Before Bernard Bailyn published his book in 1967, it was generally accepted that the American Revolution was driven by social conflict between colonial settlers and the British government, and by class conflict in American society. Bailyn's Pulitzer Prize-winning work proposed a different view: that radical ideas, not social conflict, fired the American Revolution, and that it was above all an ideological, constitutional, and political struggle. Bailyn showed how American colonists were moved by radical anti-authoritarian beliefs that cherished liberty and distrusted centralized power. In his view, colonists felt their own oppression was part of 'a comprehensive conspiracy against liberty throughout the English-speaking world.' Revolution was required to protect that liberty. Book jacket.
