Ed Cline's "Sparrowhawk" series is comprised of six novels that dramatize events leading up to the American Revolution. I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed John Jake's Kent Family Series back in the 70’s and 80’s.

“For the first time, a nation was founded on the principle of individual rights.”

The result being that, two hundred years later, Marxists in government would bend their wills, efforts, and pocketbooks to taking away those rights.

Not mentioning any names, of course...

How can AmRevWar actually be its focus if it is before the war?

“For the first time, a nation was founded on the principle of individual rights.”

NO NO NO. Libertarian claptrap.

“Individual rights” were merely the consequence of divided powers and a federal government with exactly the powers it needs. Which is what was new in the Founder’s design.
The States could do whatever their voters wanted with ‘individual rights”.
It was genius.

ironic. I was wondering about what was going on in the minds of the colonists that lead the few to be willing to sacrifice all for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. THANKS!

Just wanted to say Thank You for introducing me to “Sparrowhawk”.

I am into the third book, and am enjoying it immensely. I am at the part where they are celebrating Wolfe’s victory at Quebec.

The parallels in their discussions of their relationship to the Crown to many of our discussions about our relationship to the Federal Government are too numerous to mention.

But again, I can’t thank you enough. I am enjoying it, and it is capturing me like few books have recently.
