was the youngest of seventeen, and indentured to
his brother at an early age as a printer. Did he
have a secret for his success? He thought so, and
attributed it to the ability to "reason."

Book Review of Bernard Bailyn’s “The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page book review discussing Bernard Bailyn’s “The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution”. Bernard Bailyn’s “The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution” (1967, 1992) shows readers the importance and influence of the “pamphleteers” during the time of the American Revolution. Previous to Bailyn’s publication in 1967, most historical accounts of the Revolution included political and economical theories used to explain the change in the population toward Revolution. Bailyn’s text however shows the importance of the political writings at the time which appeared in newspapers, pamphlets, booklets, letters and published speeches in addition to the original influences of writers and philosophers in an attempt to rid the colonies of the corruption which originated through their affiliation with the Crown. While Patriots were originally a minority in the population and considered as “radicals”, in a short space of only fifteen years, their writings managed to “enlighten a population”.

Breen and Innes: "Myne Owne Ground": Race and
Freedom on Virginia's Eastern Shore (1980)
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) In the seventeenth century, blacks who were
either slaves or indentured servants had, at least
in one part of the South, a unique window of
opportunity open to freedom. Their story is seldom
known, and worth a closer look because of the
lessons it teaches about the power of free markets
and personal freedom. In "Myne Owne Ground,"
professors, T. H. Breen and Stephen Innes describe
settlements on the Eastern Shore of Virginia
between the years 1640 and 1680, and reflect the
impacts these free blacks had on the surrounding
community. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
