This course will explore a different perspective on the causes and results that formed our nation through the American and British point of view. We will take a journey with two fictitious characters starting around 1763 and continuing until 1783 with trigger points, decisive battles, emerging leaders and lingering problems. We'll cover the conflict at Lexington and Concord, the Continental Congress and Army, patriots and traitors, French involvement and make a brief mention of men like Samuel & John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin & George Washington. The course will address questions such as: How did the war start? Why? Why did the Revolution succeed?
