The Ideological Origins Of The American Revolution presents a seminal examination of the intellectual landscape that fostered the birth of the United States. This Pulitzer Prize-winning work uncovers the profound influence of radical Whig ideology and Enlightenment thought on the American colonists' understanding of liberty and power. Bailyn meticulously details how pamphlets, sermons, and political essays articulated the grievances and aspirations that fueled the revolutionary movement. The book argues that the colonists' perception of a conspiracy against their liberties was not merely paranoia but a coherent interpretation of events rooted in a specific intellectual tradition. It illustrates the transformation of political ideas into revolutionary action, offering an indispensable account of the foundational principles of American governance.
