The American Revolution was a fight between two groups with different ways of thinking. One group wanted Great Britain to keep control of the American colonies. The other wanted the colonies to have independent rule. Both thought they were right. Readers will examine both sides of the conflict, gaining a greater understanding of this pivotal period in U.S. history.
"This series examines the American Revolutionary War through titles focused on groups, major events, or daily life during the conflict. Instead of a single narrative, these titles divide the war into topic-based sections that build understanding step by step. Sections range from a paragraph to a few pages in length, so readers can browse for facts or read a full volume. The writing is straightforward and accessible, offering enough detail for broad research and brief introductions to more focused topics. In Heroes and Traitors, individuals receive one to two paragraphs each, which is useful for quick research on a person. Illustrations add context, while "At a Glance" features and timelines highlight key facts. Each book includes a table of contents, a glossary, a list of additional resources, and an index. VERDICT Highly recommended for short research assignments and introductory study of the Revolution."
