Overview
McDonnell uses the Revolution in Virginia to examine the political and social struggles of a revolutionary society at war--with itself as much as with Great Britain. He documents the numerous contests within Virginia over mobilizing for war--struggles between ordinary Virginians and patriot leaders, between the lower and middle classes, and between blacks and whites. From these conflicts emerged a republican polity rife with racial and class tensions. The Battle of Yorktown did not resolve Virginia's internal conflicts. With its insights into the mobilization of popular support, the exposure of social rifts, and the inversion of power relations, McDonnell's analysis is relevant to any society at war.
