Learn the battles, as short as hours or expanding into many days; the glory, of those who fought valiantly, both on the front and at the home; the treachery that led to our form of government; the manipulation of both sides to get those to join the cause.

Basic Overview
The American Revolution was a crucial part of North American history, occurring between the years 1775-1783 and was a political unheaval against the mighty power of Great Britain and its monarchy, which at the time was one of the world's known superpowers. The primary objective was for colonial America to become independent from its mother country, Great Britain. They wanted religious, social, economic, and political freedom from the small country that controlled them, thousands of miles away.
