columbia university colleague henry steele commager enlisted morris as co-editor of the influential "new american nation" series, a collaborative history of the united states published by harper & row. in 1966 he won the bancroft prize in history for his book on the diplomacy of the american revolution, "the peacemakers: the great powers and american independence" (1965). this project, and the acquisition by columbia university of the papers of john jay, led him into one of his most productive scholarly ventures. two volumes of an unfinished four-volume edition of the previously unpublished papers of john jay followed (1976, 1980), taking jay's life from his birth in 1745 to his return to the united states in 1784 to become the confederation's secretary for foreign affairs. morris also quarried from his work on jay a series of lectures in the gaspar g. bacon lecture series at boston university, which in 1967 he published as "john jay, the nation, and the court," focusing on jay as a committed nationalist in his work as a diplomat and as the first chief justice of the united states. morris's phelps lectures at new york university resulted in his 1966 book "the american revolution reconsidered," which he followed in 1970 with his "the emerging nations and the american revolution." in 1973, preparing for the impending bicentennial of the american revolution, he published "seven who shaped our destiny: the founding fathers as revolutionaries", a collection of biographical essays about benjamin franklin, george washington, john adams, thomas jefferson, john jay, james madison, and alexander hamilton.
