The War for Independence had a substantial impact on the lives of all Americans, establishing a nation and confirming American identity. The War for Independence and the Transformation of American Society explores a conflict which was both civil war and revolution and assesses how Americans met the challenges of adapting to the ideals of Independence and Republicanism. Focusing on the climate of war itself and its effects on the lives of those who lived through it, this book includes discussion of:
- Recruitment and Society
- The Home Front
- Constraints on Liberty
- Women and family during the war years
- African Americans and Native Americans
Harry M. Ward offers a fascinating account of the wider dimension to the meaning of the American Revolution.
