About this audiobook
Did you know the American Revolution changed how Britain treated the rest of its colonies?
The American Revolution was fought between the Thirteen Colonies and the British Empire. Although most thought the British would win, the colonists overthrew British rule and established their own country. Other people realized the ideals of the American Revolution could be applied to their societies. They also wanted liberty and justice for all.
For years, scholars have studied individuals or specific events of the American Revolution. They focused on revolutionaries like Alexander Hamilton or events like the Battle of Lexington and Concord. But the American Revolution was more than just a few people and battles. It was filled with world-changing ideas.
