The American Revolution
The "shot heard 'round the world" not only set the 13 colonies on the road to becoming the United States, but echoes throughout American history. Secondary- and primary-source images, a map, an illustrated timeline, and a fact-packed text help bring the story of the American Revolution to life. Readers will also learn about events leading up to the revolution, such as the French and Indian War, the passage of the Stamp Act, and the Boston Tea Party. An excellent way to introduce young readers to the inspiring story of our country's birth!
