Fourteen short chapter studies profile a dozen British men and women, who, for diverse reasons, opposed the policy of the British government toward its thirteen colonies before and during the American Revolution and helped prepare the way for the recognition of the United States as an independent nation. Reich demonstrates how a mixture of political expediency, constitutional scruples, and a desire for reform at home led prominent politicians, economists, and leaders of public opinion to sympathize with the colonial point of view after 1776.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Jerome R. Reich received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago and is professor of history at Chicago State University. His special field of expertise is the study of protest movements and rebellions of the colonial period. He is the author of Jacob Leisler's Rebellion: A Study of Democracy in New York, 1664-1720; Colonial America; and numerous textbooks and articles on United States, African American, and world history. This volume is the culmination of his research on conflicting political ideologies current in England and America during the second half of the eighteenth century and those English individuals who attempted-albeit unsuccessfully-to reconcile them.
