Summary

Reinterpreting the first century of American history, this book presents an argument that colonial society developed a political culture marked by strong attachment to Great Britain's monarchs. This book shows that political conflicts assumed to foreshadow the events of 1776 were fought out by factions who invoked competing visions of the king.
