HIST 116: The American Revolution

Lecture 04 - "Ever at Variance and Foolishly Jealous": Intercolonial Relations. Professor Freeman discusses colonial attempts to unite before the 1760s and the ways in which regional distrust and localism complicated matters. American colonists joined together in union three times before the 1760s. Two of these attempts were inspired by the necessity of self-defense; the third attempt was instigated by the British as a means of asserting British control over the colonies. (from oyc.yale.edu)
