Zusammenfassung: | "A groundbreaking, important recovery of history; the overlooked story-fully explored, of the critical aspect of America's Revolutionary War that was fought in the South showing that the British surrender at Yorktown was the direct result of the southern campaign and, that the battles that emerged south of the Mason-Dixon line between loyalists to the Crown and patriots who fought for independence were, in fact, America's first civil war. The famous battles that form the backbone of the story put forth of American independence-at Lexington and Concord, Brandywine, Germantown, Saratoga, and Monmouth, while crucial, did not lead to the surrender at Yorktown. It was in the three-plus years between Monmouth and Yorktown that the war was won. Alan Pell Crawford's riveting new book, This Fierce People, tells the story of these missing three years, long ignored by historians, and of the fierce battles fought in the south that made up the central theater of military operations in the latter years of the Revolutionary War, upending the essential American myth that the War of Independence was fought primarily in the north. Weaving throughout the stories of the heroic men and women, largely unsung patriots-African Americans and whites, militiamen and 'irregulars,' Patriots and Tories, Americans, Frenchmen, Brits and Hessians, Crawford reveals the misperceptions and contradictions of our accepted understanding of how our nation came to be, as well as the national narrative that America's victory over the British lay solely with General George Washington and his troops"-- |

Alan Pell Crawford's riveting new book, This Fierce People, tells the story of these missing three years, long ignored by historians, and of the fierce battles fought in the south that made up the central theater of military operations in the latter years of the Revolutionary War, upending the essential American myth that the War of Independence was fought primarily in the north. Weaving throughout the stories of the heroic men and women, largely unsung patriots-African Americans and whites, militiamen and 'irregulars,' Patriots and Tories, Americans, Frenchmen, Brits and Hessians, Crawford reveals the misperceptions and contradictions of our accepted understanding of how our nation came to be, as well as the national narrative that America's victory over the British lay solely with General George Washington and his troops"-- Morgan, Daniel 1736-1802 (DE-588)1191487601 gnd rswk-swf Greene, Nathanael 1742-1786 (DE-588)124497020 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1780-1781 gnd rswk-swf Amerikanische Revolution (DE-588)4187276-9 gnd rswk-swf USA Südstaaten (DE-588)4078674-2 gnd rswk-swf Greene, Nathanael / 1742-1786 / Military leadership Morgan, Daniel / 1736-1802 / Military leadership Slavery / Southern States / History / 18th century Southern States / History / Revolution, 1775-1783 Southern States / Militia / History / 18th century États-Unis (Sud) / Histoire / 1775-1783 (Révolution) États-Unis (Sud) / Milice / Histoire / 18e siècle Greene, Nathanael / 1742-1786 / https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJyMkKWM6krVgHQhFWdCwC Morgan, Daniel / 1736-1802 / https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJfcR3tvY6YBfM6rgjfcyd Command of troops Militia Slavery Southern States 1700-1799 History Greene, Nathanael 1742-1786 (DE-588)124497020 p Morgan, Daniel 1736-1802 (DE-588)1191487601 p USA Südstaaten (DE-588)4078674-2 g Amerikanische Revolution (DE-588)4187276-9 s Geschichte 1780-1781 z DE-604 |
