During the 17th and 18th centuries, Great Britain expanded
its global empire by establishing colonies in North America.
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 dynamic 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
helped lay the foundation for the development of a new nation.
