I actually read this book for History 556 from cover to cover- a practice one doesn't often do for class-assigned reading. Butler shows a comprehensive look at the American colonies, attempting to answer the important question: in such a ethnically, religiously, culturally, and economically diverse societies in the colonies, just how "American" were the people living here prior to the Revolution?
