Revolutionary America tells the story of the American Founding, the greatest political achievement in history. The Amnerican colonists had developed a unique way of life as they practiced self government for 150 years. In the struggles between the colonies and the mother country that followed the French and Indian War, Britian declared the Americans no right to rule themselves. This went against everything the Americans knew. In response, our ancestors risked their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to fight the war for independence. Against all odds, they won, and in victory formed a stable and lasting republic.
