In America, it was in thecolonial cities that the transition first occurred from a barter economy to a commercial one. . . . The citiespredicted the future. . . . Urban people, at a certain point in the preindustrial era, upset the equilibrium of anolder system of social relations and turned the seaport towns into crucibles of revolutionary agitation."Gary B. Nash, historian, The Urban Crucible, 1986"The colonist’s attitudes toward civil uprising were part of a broader Anglo-American political tradition. In thecourse of the eighteenth century, colonists became increasingly interested in the ideas of seventeenth-centuryEnglish revolutionaries . . . and the later writers who carried on and developed this tradition. . . . By the1760s . . . this . . . tradition provided a strong unifying element between colonists North and South. It offered, too, a corpus of ideas about public authority and popular political responsibilities that shaped the Americanrevolutionary movement. Spokesmen for this English revolutionary tradition were distinguished in theeighteenth century above all by their outspoken defense of the people’s right to rise up against their rulers."Pauline Maier, historian, From Resistance to Revolution, 1991a) Briefly describe ONE major difference between Potter’s and Holt’s historical interpretations of the Civil War. b) Briefly explain how ONE specific historical event or development during the period 1786-1861 that is not explicitly mentioned in the excerpts could be used to support Potter’s interpretation. c) Briefly explain how ONE specific historical event or development during the period 1786-1861 that is not explicitly mentioned in the excerpts could be used to support Holt’s interpretation.
