How colonial resistance developed into independence

Pauline Maier traces the changing forms of organized opposition to British rule, from resistance during the Stamp Act crisis and late-1760s non-importation associations to the breakdown of royal government after 1773. The account centers on how extra-legal colonial institutions took on authority and how the conflict’s political arguments developed toward the Declaration of Independence. Its chronological structure connects protest, institutional change, and the growing case for independence, offering a focused view of the Revolution’s development before the declaration.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in the political origins of the American Revolution
  • Readers studying colonial resistance movements and the development of independence
  • Readers seeking a chronological account of opposition to British rule

Book overview

In this classic account of the American revolution, Pauline Maier traces the step-by-step process through which the extra-legal institutions of the colonial resistance movement assumed authority from the British. She follows the American Whigs as they moved by stages from the organized resistance of the Stamp Act crisis of 1765 through the non-importation associations of the late 1760s to the collapse of royal government after 1773, the implication of the king in a conspiracy against American liberties, and the consequent Declaration of Independence. Professor Maier's great achievement is to explain how Americans came to contemplate and establish their independence, guided by principle, reason, and experience.
