Factology: American Revolution

This book tells the story of how 13 overlooked colonies under careless British rule banded together to fight for their rights and claim independence. Find out how, within three decades, these plucky outsiders built a democratic republic of nearly four million people that would go on to become the most powerful country in the world. You’ll take an action-packed journey through monumental events that would shape the lives of millions for generations to come – from the Boston Tea Party to the inauguration of President George Washington and beyond. How did the United States’ Founding Fathers come up with their country’s new rules and institutions that would last hundreds of years? When and where were the big decisions made? And why did the British get it so badly wrong? Discover all the answers and so much more in Factology: American Revolution.
