Prelude to RevolutionThe Salem Gunpowder Raid of 1775
Peter Charles Hoffer
Before colonial Americans could declare independence, they had to
undergo a change of heart. Beyond a desire to rebel against British mer-
cantile and fiscal policies, they had to believe that they could stand up to
the fully armed British soldier. Prelude to Revolution uncovers one story
of how the Americans found that confidence: a British raid on Salem,
Massachusetts, which turned into a bloodless triumph for the colonists.

Joseph F. Spillane
Spillane examines the failure of progressive reform in New York
State by focusing on Coxsackie, a New Deal reformatory built for

conflict.
