March to Independence

"March to Independence" by Michael Cecere offers an in-depth exploration of the Southern colonies' role in the early American Revolution, highlighting how Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia gradually supported the fight for independence while East Florida remained loyal to Britain. Through primary sources, the book recounts the unfolding conflicts across the South, culminating in a unified declaration of independence on July 4, 1776. It provides a nuanced perspective on the Southern colonies' journey toward revolution, expanding the understanding of America's fight for independence beyond the well-known northern battles.
