Road to Revolution (eBook)

Book excerpt: Welcome to the fascinating world of colonial and revolutionary America—a time of strength, courage and ingenuity. The War for Independence established the United States as a sovereign nation. The Constitution, approved a few years after the war, created the balanced system of government that serves us today. The activities in this book provide insight into the history, customs, culture, art, life, and government of the British colonies during the colonial and revolutionary periods. The eight full-color transparencies at the back of the book (print books) or the included PowerPoint slides (eBooks) can be used alone or with specific activities listed in the table of contents. For a print book with the PowerPoint presentation instead of transparencies, please see MP8824.
