It offered, too, a corpus of ideas about public authority and popular political responsibilities that shaped the Americanrevolutionary movement. Spokesmen for this English revolutionary tradition were distinguished in theeighteenth century above all by their outspoken defense of the people’s right to rise up against their rulers."Pauline Maier, historian, From Resistance to Revolution, 1991a) Briefly describe ONE major difference between Potter’s and Holt’s historical interpretations of the Civil War. b) Briefly explain how ONE specific historical event or development during the period 1786-1861 that is not explicitly mentioned in the excerpts could be used to support Potter’s interpretation. c) Briefly explain how ONE specific historical event or development during the period 1786-1861 that is not explicitly mentioned in the excerpts could be used to support Holt’s interpretation.
