Focusing on the political and constitutional conflict between Parliament and the colonies, this two-volume work by Bernhard Knollenberg offers a detailed narrative of the American Revolution, backed by extensive source citations. While he incorporates social, economic, and intellectual aspects, his primary emphasis is on political history. Knollenberg, a Whig historian, expresses a clear sympathy for the American cause, attributing the empire's decline to the British ministries and championing the Americans as advocates for liberty.
