This course examines the American Revolution through the lens of the British. While Americans remember July 4, 1776, as the birth of a new nation, British observers saw rebellion, war, and imperial crisis. We will explore the Boston Tea Party, British views of the war, Benedict Arnold, Irish participation on both sides, the fate of empire on Britain’s Caribbean islands, and the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which shrank the Britain’s empire and confirmed the independence of the United States.
