Did it merely sum up the prevailing thought of its day, or was it an advanced expression of uniquely American ideals? Were its signers aware of the Declaration's full revolutionary significance, or did they see it as the rationale for an economic dispute? Such questions face any historian of the period and require an extraordinary control of materials, a sensitive reading of character and text, and a lucid gift for recreating a time more than two centuries ago for scholars and general readers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45355734696087,"sku":"9780306803529","price":1658.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780306803529.webp?v=1767308969","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-transaction-of-free-men-9780306803529","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
