When the American colonies fought for and won independence from Great Britain, their victory did more than redraw the map of the western hemisphere―for the American Revolution was also a revolution of ideas, serving as a model for democracies around the world. Curated from the unparalleled collections of the Library of Congress, the primary sources in this volume provide opportunities for learners to explore many different aspects of the Revolution. Part of "Discover and Learn with the Library," an educational series published by the Library of Congress in association with the American Library Association, The American Revolution offers the following:

provides classroom-ready materials for teachers, librarians, and home educators working with grades 6–12 and is designed to support state curricula and teaching standards;
presents full-color facsimiles of primary sources alongside source citations, information about the sources' origins, teaching strategies, and guides to additional online resources;
harnesses these sources to guide learners as they explore the causes that ignited the conflict, the ways it affected everyday life, and the ideas and debates that shaped not only the republic's founding documents but also its future as a nation;
spotlights uniquely instructive materials such as a page from the code book of George Washington's spy ring, the plan for a parade celebrating the ratification of the Constitution, an early version of the Bill of Rights, a British proclamation offering to free "all indentured servants and Negroes" willing to fight for Great Britain, and a pay voucher for a Black soldier in the Continental Army; and
features perforated pages on each primary source for ease of sharing.
