American Revolution for Students

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.
