Their desperate struggle was fueled by the injustice of a regressive tax system and a conservative state government that seemed no better than British colonial rule. But despite the immediate failure of this local call-to-arms in the Massachusetts countryside, the event fundamentally altered the course of American history. Shays and his army of four thousand rebels so shocked the young nation's governing elite--even drawing the retired General George Washington back into the service of his country--that ultimately the Articles of Confederation were discarded in favor of a new constitution, the very document that has guided the nation for more than two hundred years, and brought closure to the American Revolution.\n\nThe importance of Shays's Rebellion has never been fully appreciated, chiefly because Shays and his followers have always been viewed as a small group of poor farmers and debtors protesting local civil authority. In \u003ci\u003eShays's Rebellion: The American Revolution's Final Battle\u003c\/i\u003e, Leonard Richards reveals that this perception is misleading, that the rebellion was much more widespread than previously thought, and that the participants and their supporters actually represented whole communities--the wealthy and the poor, the influential and the weak, even members of some of the best Massachusetts families.\n\nThrough careful examination of contemporary records, including a long-neglected but invaluable list of the participants, Richards provides a clear picture of the insurgency, capturing the spirit of the rebellion, the reasons for the revolt, and its long-term impact on the participants, the state of Massachusetts, and the nation as a whole. Shays's Rebellion, though seemingly a local affair, was the revolution that gave rise to modern American democracy.","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52640915784047,"sku":"9780812218701","price":180.56,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0812218701.jpg?v=1770402769"},{"product_id":"ethan-allen","title":"Ethan Allen","description":"\u003cp\u003eControversial then and now, the powerful, brawling, tempestuous Ethan Allen is generally conceded to have played a dominant role in the affairs of early Vermont and the American Republic. Allen was a man of many parts who, whether fighting the British, frustrating the Yorkers, or exploring the mysteries of God, and the Universe, invariably gave a good account of himself.  This lively biography, based on sound but unobtrusive scholarship, examines and assesses that many-faceted career.\u003cbr\u003e\nUnder Allen’s belligerent leadership the farmers of the New Hampshire Grants formed a militant guerilla band in 1770 known as the Green Mountain Boys to protect their holdings in lands that were the subject of disputes between New York and New Hampshire.  Upon the outbreak of the American Revolution, the farmer-fighters turned with enthusiasm against the British.  Under the official command of Benedict Arnold, but actually obeying only their boisterous leader, Allen, the little band took Fort Ticonderoga in a bold engagement.  Allen’s unwise and unlucky attack on Montreal resulted in his capture by the British.  Finally released three years later, he was commissioned a brevet Colonel by the Continental Congress.\u003cbr\u003e\nProfessor Jellison examines with particular care Ethan Allen’s political activities following his return home, especially his “treasonous” dealings with the British, his vigorous support of the new self-declared Republic of Vermont, and his role in the continuing rivalries – into which Massachusetts and Connecticut had entered – over the New Hampshire Grants.\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter the close of the Revolution, Allen retired to his lands in Burlington to farm and to write.  True to character even in his career s author, Allen produced a book that was the subject of many hot discussions: \u003cem\u003eReason the Only Oracle of Man\u003c\/em\u003e, later called “Allen’s Bible.”  Allen’s Life ended\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Longleaf Services on behalf of Syracuse University","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52653509902703,"sku":"9780815601890","price":170.57,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0815601891.jpg?v=1770732501"},{"product_id":"americas-beginnings","title":"America's Beginnings","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt a time when surveys reveal that Americans know less and less about our past, Tony Williams provides entertaining and informative descriptions of 50 of the most important and dramatic events from the colonial and Revolutionary period\u0026amp;mdash;some known and some forgotten\u0026amp;mdash;from the Mayflower Compact to the Annapolis Convention.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Globe Pequot Publishing Group Inc\/Bloomsbury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52653857997167,"sku":"9781442204881","price":104.16,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/1442204885.jpg?v=1770744536"}],"url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/collections\/revolucao-americana.oembed","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
