Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Political Parties in the Province of New York, 1760-1776 The American Revolution was the result of two general move ments; the contest for home-rule and independence, and the democratization of American politics and society. Of these movements, the latter was fundamental; it began before the contest for home-rule, and was not completed until after the achievement of independence. The history of revolutionary parties, if properly understood, must be regarded, therefore, from the broad-er, as well as from the narrower, point of view. And if we are so to regard it, a brief consideration of the gen eral character of provincial politics is indispensable.
