Paperback. Condition: Good. This book examines the connections between the commercial fishing industry in colonial America and the American Revolution, Christopher P. Magra places the origins and progress of this formative event in a wider Atlantic context. The Fisherman's Cause utilizes extensive research from archives in the United States, Canada, and the UK in order to take this Atlantic approach. Dried, salted cod represented the most lucrative export in New England. The fishing industry connected colonial producers to transatlantic markets in the Iberian Peninsula and the West Indies. Parliament's coercive regulation of this branch of colonial maritime commerce contributed to colonists' willingness to engage in a variety of revolutionary activities. Colonists then used the sea to resist British authority. Fish merchants converted transatlantic trade routes into military supply lines, and they transformed fishing vessels into warships.

Paperback. Condition: New. The 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence represents an opportunity to reconsider the United States of America's founding document. In America's First War: The Military History of the Declaration of Independence, a gathering of expert scholars boldly reinterprets the declaration, encouraging readers to remember that this foundational document was written during a war. Far from an abstract philosophical treatise on liberty, this groundbreaking collection argues that the Declaration of Independence was crafted to achieve practical military objectives, a calculated move to legitimize armed rebellion and attract foreign military support, particularly from France and Spain. Drawing on diplomatic correspondence, military records, and contemporary political writings, the book reveals how the Declaration functioned as a rallying cry to galvanize domestic support for the Revolutionary War. It also uncovers the deliberate rhetorical choices made by Thomas Jefferson and the Continental Congress to frame the colonies as a sovereign nation worthy of international recognition and military alliances. By reframing the Declaration as a wartime instrument rather than a purely ideological manifesto, this work challenges traditional narratives and opens new avenues for understanding the American Revolution. America's First War is essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the complex interplay between warfare and politics.…
