Publisher's Comments
These eight essays by Higginbotham (history, U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), published over a number of years beginning in 1990, are broadly linked by their comparative (and sometimes counterfactual) approach to the history of the American Revolution. Thus we have papers comparing Washington and Jefferson with other political leaders of their generation in terms of their rise to leadership and to their disagreements, discussing the varying influence of three women on Washington's life and political career, exploring the process of state formation in early modern Europe and in 18th century America, examining Federalist and Antifederalist approaches to the subject of controlling the state militias, looking at the connections between European and American military education, and considering northern and southern regional thinking and behavior about war and martial ardor.
