This lesson focuses on legacy of 18th-19th century revolutions. Analyzing social systems and historical patterns informs our understanding of contemporary issues.
A revolution is a major, sudden change in government or society. The American Revolution (1775-1783) was when the 13 American colonies fought for independence from British rule. The colonists wanted freedom to govern themselves and protect their rights. On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence announced that the colonies were now free states. After winning the war, America became an independent nation. Studying revolutions helps us understand how nations form and why people fight for freedom!
