5La revolución norteamericana es parte de la colección Breve Historia Universal, que ofrece una nueva visión de la historia de la humanidad. Gordon Wood, un notable especialista en la historia de Estados Unidos, conduce a los lectores a través de las páginas de este libro con un lenguaje ameno y accesible. Cuando Abraham Lincoln intentó definir la esencia de Estados Unidos se remontó a la revolución norteamericana. Sabía que la revolución no solo había sido el origen legal de la joven nación sino también de los valores y esperanzas del pueblo norteamericano. Los ideales y aspiraciones -el compromiso con la libertad, el constitucionalismo, el bienestar y la igualdad de los ciudadanos- que se plasmaron en la Constitución norteamericana provienen de la era revolucionaria. Lincoln también era consciente de que la revolución había convencido a los norteamericanos de ser un pueblo diferente, destinado a guiar el mundo hacia la libertad, espíritu que sigue hoy tan vivo como entonces. Esta historia tiene todos los ingredientes para un buen drama: trece colonias insignificantes al otro lado del Atlántico se levantan contra el gobierno británico para convertirse, en poco más de tres décadas, en una enorme, industriosa, bulliciosa y poderosa república de cuatro millones de habitantes. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Revolution gave birth to whatever sense of nationhood and national purpose Americans have had. No doubt the story is a dramatic one: Thirteen insignificant colonies three thousand miles from the centers of Western civilization fought off British rule to become, in fewer than three decades, a huge, sprawling, rambunctious republic of nearly four million citizens. But the history of the American Revolution, like the history of the nation as a whole, ought not to be viewed simply as a story of right and wrong from which moral lessons are to be drawn.
