Between 1763 and 1815, a pivotal period in American history, settlers in North America rose in rebellion against British rule, ultimately securing their independence through a protracted and bloody struggle. This transformative era gave rise to the United States of America, an enduring republic.

Revolutionary America, now in its fourth edition, delves into the critical events that shaped this period. Authored by Francis D. Cogliano, the book offers a concise yet comprehensive history of the War of Independence, providing a solid foundation for students and scholars of the early American republic.

In particular, Cogliano highlights the experiences of marginalized groups, such as women, Native Americans, and Black Americans, who were excluded from the immediate benefits and rights granted by the creation of the American republic. This fourth edition incorporates fully revised chapters to reflect the latest scholarship and includes a new introduction that engages the ongoing debate surrounding the year of American independence: 1619 or 1776.

Furthermore, the book features an updated and revised bibliography to ensure that readers have access to the most recent literature on the subject. It also explores the extent to which the Revolution transformed American society, examining the social, political, and economic changes that occurred during this period.

Revolutionary America is an essential resource for undergraduate classes in American History and the history of the Revolutionary War. It provides a comprehensive and accessible account of a pivotal chapter in American history, enabling students to gain a deeper understanding of the nation's origins and the challenges it faced in its early years.
