1700s in America is a rare vision of the American colonies and American Revolution written by 18th-century German historian Christian M. Sprengel. In a narrative that objectively analyzes both pros and cons, Sprengel describes the early struggles of the American colonies and the decisions that brought them together to fight for freedom, calling the war "the most noteworthy event of our days." He tells us the economics and sociology of the colonies, listing products and profits, headcounts and "heathens." He relates both the cruelties of war and the great hopes of a new government built upon democracy. The book contains a rare map of America in 1783, drawings of coins circulated in 1700s America, 18 dramatic copperplate engravings of the revolution’s events, and drawings of the colonies’ flag, revolutionary attire, and important statesmen, along with their biographies. 
1700s in America illuminates the strength of our country’s early settlers in a new voice from a distant past, a German historian from the 18th-century who describes the birth of a nation from a European perspective.
