Connecticut's Seminary of Sedition

From the Preface: In the 1700s American colleges like Yale were hotbeds of intellectual activity that lead the country to revolution. According to author Louis Tucker this volume is a study that “seeks to assess the role of Yale College in the American Revolution. It especially focuses on the part played by Yale in the development of the spirit of rebellion in Connecticut…A number of Yale trained Whigs carried the torch of rebellion into other colonies and assumed roles of leadership when the political crisis deepened.”
