The American Revolution: A Rebellion That Changed World History (Thirteen Colonies, Revolutionary War, Yorktown, Constitutional Convention, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Federalists)
The American Revolution and Constitutional Convention lie at the heart of the guiding principle that has made America that the people decide the course of their country, not the other way around. But far from being clear-cut and straight, the path to one Nation under God was muddled, with many dead-ends, potholes and barricades.
The American A Rebellion that Changed World History goes back to the revolution's earliest beginnings, to see how the seeds of conflict between the British Empire and the Thirteen Colonies were sown long before the first shot was ever fired at Lexington. Why the Crown stepped up taxation of the Thirteen Colonies in the mid-1760s and why the colonists were so vigorously against it .
We look at the road to revolution, zooming in on the Townshend Acts, the Boston Massacre, the attack on the British customs schooner HMS Gaspée, the Boston Tea Party and the Coercive Acts, leading to the First and Second Continental Congress , and, finally, war for independence.
Some of the revolutionary war battles and events
• Washington crossing the Delaware
• Battles of Saratoga
• Battle of the Chesapeake
• Siege of Yorktown
A custom-made map provides a clear overview
