Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the tale of the life and times of Jacob Leisler, a German immigrant turned leader of New York's Leislerian Rebellion. Leisler emerged as a champion of the oppressed commoners of New York, leading a revolt against the rule of the city's corrupt elite and their British allies in their absence. He was a complex figure, a devout Protestant with a strong religious zeal, who believed in the common man's right to govern themselves. The author traces the trajectory of Leisler's rise to power and his eventual downfall, exploring the political, social, and religious tensions that characterized New York in the late 17th century. The book also provides a detailed account of Leisler's trial and execution, offering a nuanced portrayal of a man caught between his own ambitions and the demands of the tumultuous times in which he lived. This book sheds light on a significant chapter in American history, revealing the struggles and aspirations of those who fought to shape the destiny of a young nation.
