Synopsis

Among famous American symbols, the Liberty Bell is perhaps the most unusual since it broke the first time it was rung. Students will enjoy discovering other interesting facts about this unique and well-loved symbol of American freedom. But they'll discover more than the Liberty Bell; they'll also learn how 13 small colonies of freedom-loving patriots made the dream of the United States of America a reality. Students will find the answers to questions about the beginning of this nation: What actually caused the Revolutionary War? Who was involved? What did the leaders of the American Revolution contribute to the freedom of this country? What battles in the war made the most difference and why?

Following each topic of study, students answer review questions to test what they have learned. A complete answer key is provided. Also included are internet research ideas and multiple intelligence activities.

Students will discover more than they ever knew before about the beginnings of America and the people to whom they owe their freedom.
