CHAPTER 1
THE WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE
In 1775 Great Britain rules the American colonies. Not everyone is happy about this. Many colonists feel that British laws are unfair, and British taxes are too high. The colonists who are against British rule call themselves Patriots. Those loyal to Great Britain are called Loyalists. Colonists dress alike, speak the same language, and live side by side. It’s not always easy to tell who is a Patriot and who is a Loyalist.
American colonists in the 1700s
In Boston, Massachusetts, Paul Revere organizes a group of craftsmen to spy on the British army. They call themselves the mechanics. They patrol the city after dark, keep track of British supplies and weapons, and warn of possible attacks on Patriot weapon storehouses. Paul Revere and his men are America’s first spies.
Loyalists are spying too. British spies learn weapons are stored in Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. The British army plans to march there. Patriot spies learn of the British plans and send Paul Revere to warn the other Patriots. On April 19, 1775, shots are fired in Lexington and Concord. The Revolutionary War has begun.

Two months later, the Second Continental Congress makes George Washington commander in chief of the Continental army. The Continental army will fight against the British.
In September 1776 one of Washington’s lieutenants, Nathan Hale, volunteers to spy on the British. He goes to Long Island, where the British army is in control. He doesn’t blend in. He’s a teacher by trade, not a spy. The British realize he’s a spy. He’s captured and hanged. General William Howe, commander of the British forces, ordered Hale’s death. It’s a warning—spies die. Hale is brave to the end and is said to have declared, I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.
By 1777 General Henry Clinton has taken over as the British commander in chief of North America. He depends on a network of spies. Washington needs spies too. Spies are everywhere. They are brave, clever, and determined to help their side. Which spy are you?
