“If we apply the term revolution to what happened in North America between 1776 and 1829, it has a special meaning. Normally, the word describes the process by which man transforms himself from one kind of man, living in one kind of society, with one way of looking at the world, into another kind of man, another society, another conception of life.... The American case is different: it is not a question of the Old Man transforming himself into the New, but of the New Man becoming alive to the fact that he is new, that he has been transformed already without his having realized it.” IfsMenWorldWayKindHas BeensDifferentFactsAmericaProcessTermCasesAliveHappenedSpecialRevolutionBecomingOne WayOld ManConceptionTransformedTransformingNorth America Author:W.

“[John Adams and Tomas Jefferson] shared experience in 1775 - 1776 in bringing about the separation from Britain and their service in Europe cemented a friendship that in the end withstood the most serious political and religious differences that one could imagine, especially their differences over the French Revolution. It was probably Jefferson's obsession with politeness and civility that kept the relationship from becoming irreparably broken.” EndsPoliticalDifferencesReligiousImagineSeriousBrokenRevolutionBecomingEuropeSeparationObsessionBritainCivilityPolitenessFrench RevolutionShared ExperiencesTomas JeffersonReligious Differences Author:Gordon S.
