 During the 17th and 18th centuries, Great Britain founded the American colonies and expanded their global empire by establishing a foothold in the New World. Over time, the colonists developed their own institutions and practices (including the evasion of British tax and trade laws!), and a spirit of independence was born! Through a spirited mix of historical stills, expert interviews and live-action reenactments, The American Revolution for Students traces the struggle for power and control between the colonies and Great Britain. From the colonists' rejection of mercantilist laws to the "shot heard round the world" and the eventual establishment of the world's greatest experiment in democracy, students will get a vivid look at the remarkable decisions, documents and personalities that help lay the foundation for the development of a new nation. Teacher's Guides are included and available online. |
