While the American Revolution was fought on the battlefields, the war hit home as well. And depending on who you were, it could affect your life in different ways. Readers can step into the shoes of patriots, loyalists, people who were enslaved, different Indigenous peoples, and more, examining how different people experienced the American Revolution on the home front.
"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."
