Published a year after Abbé Raynal's account of the American Revolution, this work was written with the intention of correcting his portrayal of the movement for American independence. Believing that Raynal was too far removed from the conflict to comprehend it properly, Paine (1737-1809) diplomatically sets the record straight.
