What was it like to be a kid during the American Revolution?

During the 1760s, the United States didn’t exist yet. It was just 13 colonies under the control of Great Britain. Many colonists wanted to choose their own leaders and make their own laws. In 1775, they started a revolution to fight for independence from Great Britain. Some of those who rejected British rule were kids!
