Reflections On The Rise, Progress, And Probable Consequences, Of The Present Contentions With The Colonies. By A Freeholder.

Reflections on the rise, progress, and probable consequences, of the present contentions with the colonies. By a freeholder.

by John Erskine

This book, penned by a 'freeholder', explores the escalating tensions between Britain and its American colonies. It attempts to de-escalate the brewing conflict by analyzing the grievances of the colonists as outlined in their writings and by those familiar with their sentiments. The author delves into the acts of Parliament that sparked colonial resistance, considering the potential concessions that could have been offered to appease the colonists and avoid the outbreak of war.
