Completely disenfranchised, citizens rose up as a body and cast off British rule everywhere except in Boston, where British forces were stationed. A \"Spirit of '74\" initiated the American Revolution, much as the better-known \"Spirit of '76\" sparked independence. Redcoats marched on Lexington and Concord to take back a lost province, but they encountered Massachusetts militiamen who had trained for months to protect the revolution they had already made. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Spirit of '74\u003c\/i\u003e places our founding moment in a rich new historical context, both changing and deepening its meaning for all Americans.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"The New Press","offers":[{"title":"The Spirit of 74 | Ray Raphael | Hardcover | 9781620971260 | New | American History 1777926","offer_id":49852441952408,"sku":"1777926","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81hLHczC4OL.jpg?v=1788886906","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/the-spirit-of-74","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
