5th Grade - Historic Patriots

This Week:

IN THE NEST - On the Road to Revolution [1752-1776]


"Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States..."

Richard Henry Lee

June 7, 1776

The Revolutionary War.

That title is in the heart of all Americans - the breaking point that permitted us to create our nation of liberty, freedom and equality. But what caused it...what lead up to that hot point where a few, small colonies in the American continent chose to take on the most powerful army and navy in the world?

We will begin analyzing those causes...
