Declaring Independence: Why 1776 Matters
Declaring Independence revisits the decisive months of 1776 and the choices that turned colonial resistance into a new nation. Edward J. Larson follows political leaders, military developments, and public debate as support for separation accelerated. By restoring uncertainty and contingency to a familiar story, the book explains why independence was neither inevitable nor universally welcomed—and why the Declaration still matters.
