Description

This course examines the recurring conflicts between British governments and colonial North Americans between the conquest of French Canada and the Declaration of Independence that created the United States. The teaching is based on consideration of primary sources that illustrate the breakdown in the relationship. On the British side, we follow the formulation of new policies and the debate stimulated by American resistance. From the colonial perspective, we see how grievances were articulated, how the colonies mobilized to oppose British measures, and how Americans eventually made claims to a new status.

Though the focus of the course is political culture and political conflict, students may write their dissertations on any aspect of the American Revolution.
