商品简介

Virginia was the only major colony to enter the American Revolution united, without also fighting an internal civil war. Considered by some historians as one of Jefferson's ""less ardent colleagues"", Peyton Randolph was a masterful politician who produced majorities for critical votes on the question of independence.
书评与摘要

In 1763, King George III's government adopted a secret policy to reduce the American colonies to "due subordinance" and exploit them. This brought on the American Revolution. In Virginia, there was virtually unanimous agreement that Britain's actions violated Virginia's constitutional rights. Yet Virginians were deeply divided as to a remedy. Peyton Randolph, Speaker of the House of Burgesses 1766-1775 (and chairman of the First and Second Continental Congresses), worked to unify the colony, keeping the conservatives from moving too slowly and the radicals from moving too swiftly. Virginia was thus the only major colony to enter the Revolution united. Randolph was a masterful politician who produced majorities for critical votes leading to revolution.
