Abstract
Similar to other studies, including Leonard L. Richards's book on Shays's Rebellion, these two works seek to uncover the meaning and influence of the American Revolution on the political culture of common farmers, whose voices became most audible when raised in violent (or not so violent) protest.1 Each of these books also seeks to do more than that, yet the question of politicization and radicalization remains at the heart of both volumes. Land and Liberty and Fries's Rebellion are also studies of violence, and they add to scholars' understanding by drawing on crowd ritual and crowd violence to help place these two sets of events in context.
