Reviews
This clearly written and deeply researched book portrays eighteenth-century Virginia in all its contradictions. Tillson gives us a Virginia whose ambiguities match the complexity of the Revolution itself and of its heritage in the Old Dominion. Accommodating Revolutions issues its own challenge to those historians who see the American Revolution emerging out of non-elite challenges to Virginia's gentry., ""In Accommodating Revolutions , Al Tillson once again demonstrates his knack for spinning golden insights out of moth-eaten local records. For the first two centuries, historical accounts of the American Revolution in Virginia were about as complex as 'Yankee Doodle Dandy,' but Tillson's stereo speakers-- Accommodating Revolutions and the earlier Gentry and Common Folk: Political Culture on a Virginia Frontier, 1740-1789 --capture the state's Founding era in all its symphonic complexity. Tillson has half-submerged his numerous discoveries in a narrative as fluid and powerful as the great rivers where he sets his scene."" -- Woody Holton, Associate Professor at the University of Richmond, author of Forced Founders: Indians, Debtors, Slaves, and the Marking of the American Revolution in Virginia and Abigail Adams: A Life, In Accommodating Revolutions , Al Tillson once again demomnstrates his knack for spinning golden insights out of moth-eaten local records. For the first two centuries, historical accounts of the American revolution in Virginia were about as complex as "Yankee Doodle Dandy," but Tillson captures the state's Founding era in all its symphonic complexity., In Accommodating Revolutions , Al Tillson once again demonstrates his knack for spinning golden insights out of moth-eaten local records. For the first two centuries, historical accounts of the American Revolution in Virginia were about as complex as 'Yankee Doodle Dandy,' but Tillson's stereo speakers-- Accommodating Revolutions and the earlier Gentry and Common Folk: Political Culture on a Virginia Frontier, 1740-1789 --capture the state's Founding era in all its symphonic complexity. Tillson has half-submerged his numerous discoveries in a narrative as fluid and powerful as the great rivers where he sets his scene., In contrast to older views emphasizing deference to elites and newer scholarship highlighting the efficacy of subordinate groups, Tillson shows that Virginia elites were able to hold on to their dominant positions before, during, and after the Revolution. This work is based on deep and broad research and the results are lenghty, but it might reach some regional accounts in Virginia, Accommodating Revolutions issues its own challenge to those historians who see the American Revolution emerging out of non-elite challenges to Virginia's gentry. Tillson does not ignore the dissenting spirit of evangelical believers or political radicals, but he draws on deep archival research to explain how the richest Virginians used their economic and cultural advantages to maintain leadership in a moment of Revolutionary change., "" Accommodating Revolutions issues its own challenge to those historians who see the American Revolution emerging out of non-elite challenges to Virginia's gentry.
