Abstract
Although rumors of impending conflict with Great Britain have been circulating for months, the actual outbreak of hostilities in 1775 finds the colonies unprepared for the challenges of armed conflict. The loosely formed confederation is less than one third the size of Great Britain and cannot begin to match its economic and military resources. Virginia planters, New England merchants, and dispossessed groups favor the revolutionary movement; others engage in it reluctantly or, like the loyalists, not at all. Most Brits think of this as a brief uprising of malcontents; they miss the deeper implications.
