About The Book

The Founding Fathers may have lead the charge, but the energy to raise the revolt that culminated in the victory of the American Revolution emerged from all classes and races of American society. The Unknown American Revolution plunges us into the swirl of ideology, grievance, outrage, and hope that animated the Revolutionary decades.

It tells of the efforts of a wide variety of men and women who stepped forward amidst a discouraging, debilitating, but ultimately successful war to inscribe on a clean slate their ideas for the kind of America they hoped would emerge from the blood-soaked eight-year conflict.

Millennialist preachers and enslaved Africans, frontier mystics and dockside tars, disgruntled women and aggrieved Indians — all had their own fierce vision of what an independent America could and should be. According to Nash, the American Revolution was truly a people’s revolution, a civil war at home as well as an armed insurrection against colonial control.

“No one who reads this compelling book will ever again call the American Revolution a conservative affair orchestrated by great white men in great white wigs…. [Nash] reveals the churning cauldron of political and social discontents — white, red, and black, rich and poor, male and female — that was 18h-century North America. From it flowed the many and often contradictory streams that created the United States. Nash’s is a real revolution, with winners as well as losers, with as many dreams dashed as dreams fulfilled.” — Daniel K. Richter, University of Pennsylvania
