Changes

Bernard Bailyn’s ''[http://%5Bhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0674641612/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0674641612&linkCode=as2&tag=dailyh0c-20&linkId=e27380d1c58090b42c42956c9f28acb0%20The%20Ordeal%20of%20Thomas%20Hutchinson%5D The Ordeal of Thomas Hutchinson]'' reexamines the career of the vilified colonial governor. In doing so, Bailyn recasts Hutchinson as a dedicated civil servant who was unfairly dragged into ignominy by English governmental inaction on one hand and future revolutionaries such as John Adams, James Otis, and Benjamin Franklin on the other. Moreover, ''The Ordeal of Thomas Hutchinson'' illustrates the vicissitudes of colonial politics both across the Atlantic and stateside.
