The ways of history are so intricate and the motivations of
human actions so complex that it is always hazardous to attempt to represent
events cover
41______ a number of years, a multiplicity of persons, and distant
localities as the expression of one intellectual and social movement; yet the
historical process 42______ which
culminates in the ascent of Thomas Jefferson to the presidency
43______ can
be regarded as the outstanding example not only of the birth of a new way of
life but nationalism as a new way of life. The American Revolution
44______ represents the link
between the seventeenth century, in which modem England became conscious of
itself, and the awakening of modem Europe in the
45______ end of the
eighteenth century. It may seem strange that the march of history should have
to cross the Atlantic Ocean, but only in the North American
46______ colonies a struggle
for civic liberty lead also to the foundation of a new
47______ nation. Here, in the popular
rising for a "tyrannical" government, the fruits
48______ were more than the securing of a free
constitution. They included the growth
49______ of a nation born in liberty by the will of the people, not
from the roots of common descent, a geographic entity, or the ambitions of
king or dynasty. With the American nation, in the first time, a nation was
born, not in the
50______ dim past of history but before the eyes of the whole world.
