Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. As the great imperial crisis gathered momentum through the late 1760s and the 1770s, the collective military experience of Massachusetts' veterans thus promoted the widespread agreement that was necessary to transform their province, in an astonishingly short time, from the British Empire's most enthusiastic advocate into its most intractable opponent.
