"These are the times that try men's' souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; bur that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny.....is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." Thomas Paine, Intro to the The Crisis, December 19, 1776
 

The American Revolution

Many historians see the American Revolution as one of the great turning points in history. It was not an isolated event because it was the culmination of the ideas and ideals put forth by the men and women of the age of Enlightenment, Reformation and Renaissance. . It was the culmination of many years of frustration with the British legal, economic and social systems that were in place in 18th century England and Europe. In the early stages of the revolution the colonist did not want independence but only the addressing of their grievances. When their cries for justice and reform went unheeded they resorted to a complete break with the crown. The American Revolution had a tremendous effect and led to revolts in France, Germany, and Latin America. Even today many revolutionaries hold the American Revolution as a guide for their aspirations for liberty.

Causes
"A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader."Samuel Adams, 1779
