Inhaltsangabe
Adventures in Colonial America is a 13-part series focusing on the history of each of the original 13 American colonies from their founding, through expansion, the American Revolution and ultimately the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Each volume is associated with the website adventuresincolonialamerica.com. The second installment of the website and book series coincided with Independence Day 2013, and to honor that important holiday, Chapter 1 focuses on the writing of, debate over, and ultimate signing of the Declaration of Independence. The remainder of Volume II focuses primarily on the New Jersey colony, from the founding of the colony by its two proprietors, Carteret and Berkeley, the lengthy "border war" that erupted between New Jersey and New York colonists, and the role of New Jersey during the American Revolution. The important role played by New Jersey's delegates to the Constitutional Convention - the introduction of the "New Jersey Plan" as a plan for the organization and function of the federal government - is also discussed. Special attention is given to the role played by Germans forces in the American Revolution, the demise of General Charles Lee, and the efforts of the Society of the Cincinnati to preserve our colonial history. Finally, Queen Anne's War, the second in a 6-part series on the French and Indian Wars fought in North American during the 17th and 18th Centuries, is discussed.
