"The important web of connections linking the genesis of the American Revolution to the political and commercial manoeuvres of those engaged in land speculation beyond the boundaries of the Anglo-American settlements has been elaborately chronicled by a number of scholars, including Clarence Alvord, Thomas Perkins Abernathy, Dorothy Jones, Robert A. Williams Jr., Jack Sosin, Ray Allen Billington, and Francis Jennings" (A J Hall American Empire 347).
