Volume 2: The Continental Congress and the American Revolution, 1778–84
Omschrijving
The story of the Continental Congress from 1778—just after it secured an alliance with France—to 1794, when the War of Independence ended. Letters and documents reveal how the new nation’s improvisational government struggled to hold the union and the alliance together and avert financial ruin amidst war, treachery, and troop mutinies.
