Too often we brush over the American Revolution when we are studying U.S. History or U.S. Government. We might give it a paragraph or two in a textbook, or a short mention in a lecture, but generally nothing more.My desire here is to make some of the major people and events of the American Revolution come alive for students of all ages. I wrote the following play originally so it could be read aloud in a class of any size. But it can also be enjoyed when read silently, for a different look at the American Revolution.
