Over the last decade, award-winning historian Kathleen DuVal has revitalized the study of early America's marginalized voices. Now, in Independence Lost, she recounts an untold story as rich and significant as that of the Founding Fathers : the history of the Revolutionary Era as experienced by slaves, American Indians, women, and British loyalists living on Florida's Gulf Coast. While citizens of the thirteen rebelling colonies came to blows with the British Empire over tariffs and parliamentary representation, the situation on the rest of the continent was even more fraught. In the Gulf of Mexico, Spanish forces clashed with Britain's strained army to carve up the Gulf Coast, as both sides competed for allegiances with the powerful Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Creek nations who inhabited the region. Meanwhile, African American slaves had little control over their own lives, but some individuals found opportunities to expand their freedoms during the war. Independence Lost reveals that individual motives counted as much as the ideals of liberty and freedom the Founders espoused: Independence had a personal as well as national meaning, and the choices made by people living outside the colonies were of critical importance to the war's outcome. DuVal introduces us to the Mobile slave Petit Jean, who organized militias to fight the British at sea; the Chickasaw diplomat Payamataha, who worked to keep his people out of war; New Orleans merchant Oliver Pollock and his wife, Margaret O'Brien Pollock, who risked their own wealth to organize funds and garner Spanish support for the American Revolution; the half-Scottish-Creek leader Alexander McGillivray, who fought to protect indigenous interests from European imperial encroachment; the Cajun refugee Amand Broussard, who spent a lifetime in conflict with the British; and Scottish loyalists James and Isabella Bruce, whose work on behalf of the British Empire placed them in grave danger. Their lives illuminate the fateful events that took place along the Gulf of Mexico and, in the process, changed the history of North America itself. Adding new depth and moral complexity, Kathleen DuVal reinvigorates the story of the American Revolution. Independence Lost is a bold work that fully establishes the reputation of a historian who is already regarded as one of her generation's best. Advance praise for Independence Lost: 'With deep research and lively writing, Kathleen DuVal musters a compelling cast to recover the dramatic story of the American Revolution in borderlands uneasily shared by rival empires, enslaved people, and defiant natives. She deftly reveals powerful but long-hidden dimensions of a revolution rich with many possible alternatives to the triumph of the United States'--Alan Taylor, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Internal Enemy; 'In a completely new take on the American Revolution and a riveting contribution to history, Kathleen DuVal explains how an unexpected cast of Gulf Coast characters fought for their own version of self-determination. The story is gripping, rife with pathos, double-dealing, and intrigue'--Elizabeth A. Fenn, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Encounters at the Heart of the World; 'Independence Lost is an extraordinary achievement. Kathleen DuVal brings to life a war for American independence that will be utterly new to most readers'--Daniel K. Richter, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Before the Revolution"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5217609</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5217609</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[DuVal, Kathleen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5217609109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Lives on the Edge of the American Revolution</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781400068951/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Independence Lost]]></title><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5284059</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5284059</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[DuVal, Kathleen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5284059109</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Lives on the Edge of the American Revolution</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781588369611/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Native Nations]]></title><description><![CDATA[LONGLISTED FOR THE CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE. Long before the colonization of North America, Indigenous Americans built diverse civilizations and adapted to a changing world in ways that reverberated globally. And, as award-winning historian Kathleen DuVal vividly recounts, when Europeans did arrive, no civilization came to a halt because of a few wandering explorers, even when the strangers came well armed. A millennium ago, North American cities rivaled urban centers around the world in size. Then, following a period of climate change and instability, numerous smaller nations emerged, moving away from rather than toward urbanization. From this urban past, egalitarian government structures, diplomacy, and complex economies spread across North America. So, when Europeans showed up in the sixteenth century, they encountered societies they did not understand -- those having developed differently from their own -- and whose power they often underestimated. For centuries afterward, Indigenous people maintained an upper hand and used Europeans in pursuit of their own interests. In Native Nations, we see how Mohawks closely controlled trade with the Dutch -- and influenced global markets -- and how Quapaws manipulated French colonists. Power dynamics shifted after the American Revolution, but Indigenous people continued to command much of the continent's land and resources. Shawnee brothers Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa forged new alliances and encouraged a controversial new definition of Native identity to attempt to wall off U.S. ambitions. The Cherokees created institutions to assert their sovereignty on the global stage, and the Kiowas used their power in the west to regulate the passage of white settlers across their territory. In this important addition to the growing tradition of North American history centered on Indigenous nations, Kathleen DuVal shows how the definitions of power and means of exerting it shifted over time, but the sovereignty and influence of Native peoples remained a constant -- and will continue far into the future.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6593123</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6593123</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[DuVal, Kathleen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6593123109</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Millennium in North America</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593821961/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
