Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Revolution, Vol. 3 The third volume of the "American Revolution" has been altered, and reprinted, as a consequence of the withdrawal of certain matter which, though not irrelevant, was somewhat in excess of the general scheme of the history. The four volumes of the "American Revolution," and the two volumes of "George the Third and Charles Fox," are now in their final shape and will never again be retouched by their author, nor (he sincerely hopes) by anyone else after he himself has passed away. Those six volumes, as read together, tell the whole story, in America and in Europe, from the imposition of the Customs Duties by the British Parliament in June 1767 down to the fall of Lord North´s Ministry in March 1782. The story is complete; it has been written with an honest desire to be fair and impartial; it may be read with self-respect, and mutual respect, both by Englishmen and Americans; and it throws a bright and striking light on the motives of the war in which all English-speaking peoples are henceforward fighting shoulder to shoulder. The descendants of the farmers who turned out to defend their country at Lexington and Bunker Hill, and the descendants of the adversaries who did their best to defeat them in honourable and chivalrous battle, are shocked and revolted by the cruel and high-handed theory that the alleged resistance in arms to the invader of certain Belgian civilians justified the devastation, the plunder, the torture, and the enslavement of Belgium.
