I recently wrote an article on the origins of the American Revolution, which was quite well received by various professors. If you're interested, I'll e-mail you a copy. Without wishing to flatter, the views which you express on this forum reveal you to be a well-informed and thoughful human being (much as I occasionally disagree!), and I'd be interested in what you think.

Author: Ed Harris (Venezia) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 17:20:59 11/28/04 Sun I would be interested to get a reaction from an American point of view, just as, I presume, you would be curious to read about the Revolution from a British standpoint. Consider yourself emailed. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Ed I realy enjoyed your article. You were right on about the causes of the revolution. It was intresting to read about the War of Independance from a the point of view of imperial policy. That is as a failure, rather than a success. By the way you might be intrested in Ben Fraklin's Albany Plan of Union of 1754. Which would have created a Federal Colonial government for British North America. It called for a President General appointed by the crown, and a council chosen by the colonial legislaturesl.
cheers
