Download A Macat Analysis of Bernard Bailyn's The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution AudioBook Free
Before Bernard Bailyn printed The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution in 1967, it was generally presumed that the Revolution was influenced both by social issue between colonial settlers and the ruling United kingdom federal, and by differences between classes in American modern culture. Bailyn acquired a different view. He said that it was radical ideas that terminated the American Revolution, and that the Revolution was most of all an ideological, constitutional, and political struggle. Bailyn proved how American colonists were changed by a tension of radical anti-authoritarian thought that valued specific liberty and distrusted centralized power. In Bailyn's view, revolutionaries in the colonies sensed their own oppression was part of a larger whole, part of "a thorough conspiracy against liberty throughout the English-speaking world - a conspiracy believed to have been nourished in problem." Considered one of the very most important 20th-century works on the American Revolution, The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution received Bailyn the first of two Pulitzer Awards. He was also awarded the Bancroft Award for the task - the best honor an American record book can get.
