The approaching 250th anniversary of 1776 calls for a new reckoning with the ideals and sacrifices that animated independence. The self-evident truths of 1776 hover over our national divisionsas inspiring ideals, as measures of how far we still must come, as the hypocrisy of slaveholders, as intrusions on local traditions. The revolutionary politics of 1776 turned from securing the rights of Englishmen to establishing the authority of an independent nation. The battlefields of 1776 cast the military mold for the war years to come and gave us an enduring symbol of gritty determination in the actions of Washingtons depleted forces at Trenton and Princeton. Drawing together the eloquence of Jefferson and the insistence of Paine, the strategies of generals and the audacious tactics of armies on the move, and the powerful political movement that transformed colonies into states, this history of 1776 is a leading scholars distillation of the pivotal events we must reckon with two hundred and fifty years after the nations birth. 8 pages of illustrations
