Empire and nation

de Eliga H. Gould, Peter S. Onuf

"How did events and ideas from elsewhere in the British Empire influence political developments in the thirteen mainland American colonies? What was the effect of the American Revolution on the wider Atlantic world? In Empire and Nation, leading historians reconsider that upheaval as a transnational event, with many sources and momentous implications for Ireland, Africa, the West Indies, Canada, and Britain itself."--Jacket.
