American Revolution: Causes, Events, Consequences

The American Revolution is arguably the most important event in the history of our nation. As the origin point of our country, it is important to have a solid view of the American War of Independence, not merely rote memorization of names and dates. We examine the multiple and myriad causes for our Revolution as well as indicating what future difficulties the United States would face just after winning our independence. With this presentation you will receive an overview of the origins of the Revolution, a brief analysis of select events during the war, and a discussion of America’s challenges following the war.
