Prior to the American Revolution, the urban centers of colonial North America had little direct experience of war. With the outbreak of violence, British forces occupied every major city, invading the most private of spaces: the home. By closely considering the dynamics of the household--how people moved within it, thought about it, and wielded power over it--The Home Front reveals the ways in which occupation fundamentally upended the structures of colonial society and created opportunities for unprecedented economic and social mobility. In occupied cities, British officers usurped male authority to quarter themselves with families, patriot wives governed households in their husbands' absence, daughters flirted with officers, domestic servants disappeared with soldiers, and enslaved kin absconded to British lines in pursuit of freedom. As Lauren Duval shows, the unique conditions of occupation produced an aggrieved American population bound by shared emotional distress and domestic disorder. In the wake of this deeply disorienting experience, elite Americans deliberately reconsecrated the private home as a national symbol that epitomized masculine authority.

Building on a stunning wealth of primary sources, Duval vividly captures daily life during the Revolution through the eyes and ears of those who intimately experienced it, showing how men and women of all races, statuses, and states of freedom understood its implications for their lives, families, and the nascent American Republic.

Discover the Captivating History of Puerto Rico: From the Taíno to Today

Long before European explorers arrived, Puerto Rico was home to the Taíno people. They built villages, farmed the land, and created a rich culture. But when Spanish ships appeared on the horizon, everything changed. Colonization, slavery, and war shaped Puerto Rico's history, yet the people never lost their spirit. Over time, they blended African, European, and Indigenous traditions, creating a culture unlike any other.

This book takes you through Puerto Rico's past, from the time of the Taíno to the island's ongoing struggle to define its future. Through hardship and strength, Puerto Ricans have built a lasting identity-one that continues to inspire people today.

What You'll Discover Inside:

• • Who the Taíno were and how their culture still shapes Puerto Rico
  • How Spain and other empires fought for control of the island
  • The impact of the transatlantic slave trade and its lasting effects
  • How secret groups and uprisings challenged colonial rule
  • The traditions, music, and customs that make Puerto Rican culture unique
  • How sugar and coffee plantations shaped the economy and daily life
  • Puerto Rico's complex relationship with the United States and the debate over its political status
  • How Puerto Rico has overcome challenges and continues to look toward the future
