""Documents Relating To The Commercial Policy Of Spain In The Floridas With Incidental Reference To Louisiana"" is a historical book written by Arthur Preston Whitaker. The book contains a collection of official documents and letters that provide an insight into the commercial policies of Spain in the Floridas, which were territories under Spanish rule in the 18th and 19th centuries. The book also includes references to Louisiana, which was another territory under Spanish rule during the same period. The documents in the book cover a wide range of topics, including trade regulations, tariffs, customs duties, and the relationship between Spain and the United States. The book is a valuable resource for historians and researchers interested in the economic and political history of the Floridas and Louisiana during the Spanish colonial period.

Written when political and military history dominated the discipline, J. Franklin Jameson's "The American Revolution" Considered as a Social Movement was a pioneering work. Based on a series of four lectures he gave at Princeton University in 1925, the short book argued that the most salient feature of the American Revolution had not been the war for independence from Great Britain; it was, rather, the struggle between aristocratic values and those of the common people who tended toward a leveling democracy. American revolutionaries sought to change their government, not their society, but in destroying monarchy and establishing republics, they in fact changed their society profoundly. Jameson wrote, "The stream of revolution, once started, could not be con.ned within narrow banks, but spread abroad upon the land." Jameson's book was among the first to bring social analysis to the fore of American history. Examining the effects the American Revolution had on business, intellectual and religious life, slavery, land ownership, and interactions between members of different social classes, Jameson showed the extent of the social reforms won at home during the war. By looking beyond the political and probing the social aspects of this seminal event, Jameson forced a reexamination of revolution as a social phenomenon and, as one reviewer put it, injected a "liberal spirit" into the study of American history. Still in print after nearly eighty years, the book is a classic of American historiography.

The American Revolution Considered As A Social Movement is a historical book written by J. Franklin Jameson. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the American Revolution, exploring it not just as a political or military event, but as a social movement that had far-reaching implications for American society. Jameson examines the various social, economic, and cultural factors that contributed to the revolution, including the rise of a new middle class, the spread of Enlightenment ideas, and the growth of anti-British sentiment. He also delves into the role of women, African Americans, and other marginalized groups in the revolution, arguing that their contributions were often overlooked or ignored by traditional accounts of the period. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including diaries, letters, and newspapers, Jameson offers a fresh and insightful perspective on one of the most important events in American history. The American Revolution Considered As A Social Movement is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the United States and the origins of its democracy.
