1775: A GOOD YEAR FOR REVOLUTION
PHILLIPS, KEVIN
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
In 1775, iconoclastic historian and bestselling author Kevin Phillips punctures the myth that 1776 was the
watershed year of the American Revolution. He suggests that the great events and confrontations of 1775—
Congress’s belligerent economic ultimatums to Britain, New England’s rage militaire, the exodus of British troops
and expulsion of royal governors up and down the seaboard, and the new provincial congresses and hundreds
of local committees that quickly reconstituted local authority in Patriot hands—achieved a sweeping Patriot
control of territory and local government that Britain was never able to overcome. These each added to the
Revolution’s essential momentum so when the British finally attacked in great strength the following year, they
could not regain the control they had lost in 1775.
