The American Revolution in New York: its Political, Social and Economic Significance. for General Use As Part of the Program of the Executive Committee on the One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the American Revolution.

Excerpt from The American Revolution in New York, Its Political, Social and Economic Significance: For General Use as Part of the Program of the Executive Committee on the One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the American RevolutionNew York's role in the Revolution has been ignored, misrepresented and misunderstood. Although some excellent biographies, local histories and monographs of certain phases of the Revolution have been written, yet an adequate history of that epoch-making move ment as a whole has not been attempted. The political and military activities of the patriots of New York have been treated with a fair degree of fullness if not fairness, but the equally important social, economic, religious and educational activities have been sadly neglected.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
