Summary
The Spirit of '74: How the American Revolution Began examines the grassroots mobilization that occurred in 1774, a pivotal yet often overlooked year before the Revolution. Ray Raphael details how ordinary colonists organized resistance to British rule through local committees, militias, and acts of defiance following the Intolerable Acts. The book challenges traditional narratives focused on 1776, revealing how common people drove revolutionary action from the ground up. Raphael uses primary sources to illuminate the widespread popular uprising that forced royal authority to collapse months before Lexington and Concord.
