A 3 page book review of historian Woody Holton’s text Forced Founders, Indians, Debtors, Salves and the Making of the American Revolution in Virginia. This text offers a different slant on the forces that propelled the colonies into war with the greatest military power on earth at that time, the British empire. Holton’s guiding premise differs sharply from the traditional idea that the landed gentry of Virginia were motivated by the stirring rhetoric of men such as Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson and their own love for liberty. Rather, Holton describes the Virginians who took action against the British as “desperate men” (Holton xiii). This main premise is that since these men “took Britain’s largest American colony with them” (into war), anyone interested in the origins of the Independence movement needs to understand why they felt so desperate” (Holton xiii). No additional sources cited.
