Description: "The year 1764 is of extraordinary importance to the history of the American Revolution. It was a watershed year in the relationship between Great Britain and its North American colonies. In 1763, the British began to strictly enforce the laws of trade in order to advance a newly formulated colonial policy that included use of customs duties as a means of drawing revenue from the colonies. ...In 1764: the first year of the American Revolution, Ken Shumate presents the American arguements against the new British policy."--Inside jacket flap.
