The Counter Revolution Of 1776 by Donald Horne
Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America
This book delves into the often overlooked aspects of the American Revolution, challenging the traditional narrative by examining the role of slavery and the fear of slave revolts in shaping the motivations of the colonial elite. It argues that the revolution was not solely a fight for liberty and independence but also a counter-revolution to protect the institution of slavery from British interference. Through meticulous research, the book sheds light on the complex socio-political dynamics of the era, revealing how the desire to maintain racial hierarchies influenced the revolutionary movement.
