Massachusetts

Patterson, Stephen E. Political Parties in Revolutionary Massachusetts. Madison, Wisconsin. University of Wisconsin Press. 1973. First Printing. 299 pages. Hardcover. Patterson explodes he myth that Massachusetts revolutionaries approached the American Revolution in a united and cohesive way. They were, the author claims, partisan in their behavior both before and during the revolution, and their internal conflicts were at times of greater significance to them than the war with Great Britain. He explores the political struggle for power at the time when the strength of many early revolutionary leaders, such as Sam Adams, had declined, of the struggle between coastal conservatives and the agriculturally based democrats of the inland counties for political control of the new state.
