Revolutionary America

) Revolutionary America tells the story of the American Founding, the
greatest political achievement in history. The American colonists had developed a unique way of
life as they practiced self-government for 150 years. In the struggles between the colonies and the
mother country that followed the French and Indian War, Britain declared the Americans had no
right to rule themselves. This went against everything the Americans knew. In response, our
ancestors risked their “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” to fight the War for Independence.
Against all odds, they won, and in victory formed a stable, lasting republic.
