Summary: "The Eve of the Revolution; A Chronicle of the Breach with England" by Carl L. Becker is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the complex psychological and political landscape leading up to the American Revolutionary War, offering insights into how individuals like Benjamin Franklin perceived and reacted to the growing tensions between the colonies and England. The opening portion of the work sets the stage for understanding the mindset of key historical figures, particularly Franklin, during a crucial period in American history. Becker emphasizes Franklin's initial loyalty to England, detailing his journey to London as a representative of Pennsylvania and his experiences advocating for colonial interests while navigating the complexities of British politics. As Franklin becomes immersed in London society, he is depicted pondering the changes affecting the colonies and the implications of new taxes and governance policies being established by Britain, foreshadowing the unrest that would culminate in rebellion. This section effectively captures both Franklin's internal struggles and the broader socio-political climate of 1763, providing a rich context for readers unfamiliar with this pivotal era.
