Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The American Revolution is a permanent revolution, a constant eviction of all elements foreign to the American essence. Anything that stands in the way of this invention is not American. #2 The drive west was a period of relative theological calm in the first few decades of the 1700s. But then came the Great Awakening in the 1730s, and hectoring jeremiads once again began to interpret global events as the latest stage in the struggle between popery and true religion. #3 The Seven Years' War, which was fought between 1756 and 1763, expanded horizons and spread both Franklin's kind of optimism and a darker impulse. It was a long, low-intensity, high-mortality slog through pathless woods. #4 During the war, the British took from France an enormous swath of forestland that would become northern Ohio. But they soon lost the peace. With France defeated, Spain became Britain's last imperial competitor.
