*Covers every major event in the history of the American Revolution, from the Sugar Act of 1764 to the Treaty of Paris in 1783.*Profiles the military and political leaders of the American Revolution and the roles they played, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, Benedict Arnold, and more. *Examines the major battles of the Revolution, from Lexington to Yorktown. *Includes pictures of important people, places, and events.*Includes a Table of Contents. "The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people....This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution. John Adams, 1818The American Revolution is replete with seminal moments that every American learns in school, from the shot heard round the world to the Declaration of Independence, but the events that led up to the fighting at Lexington & Concord were borne out of 10 years of division between the British and their American colonies over everything from colonial representation in governments to taxation, the nature of searches, and the quartering of British regulars in private houses. From 1764-1775, a chain of events that included lightning rods like the Townshend Acts led to bloodshed in the form of the Boston Massacre, while the Boston Tea Party became a symbol of nonviolent protest. The political and military nature of the Revolutionary War was just as full of intrigue. While disorganized militias fought the Battles of Lexington & Concord, George Washington would lead the Continental Army in the field while men like Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia and Benjamin Franklin negotiated overseas in France. Benedict Arnold would become one of his nations most vital war heroes and its most notorious traitor, French forces would play a crucial role at the end of the war, and the Treaty of Paris would conclude the Revolution with one last great surprise. The History of the American Revolution chronicles the momentous events before and during the American Revolution, from the beginning of the troubles with Britain in 1764 to the successful conclusion of the Revolution in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris. It comprehensively covers the important battles and the political and military roles played by American legends like Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and more. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the American Revolution like you never have before.
