An old, rippling thirteen-starred American flag.

Students investigate the causes and outcome of the American Revolutionary War by looking at it not only from the perspective of the American colonial leaders and the British but also the French, indigenous people, enslaved Africans, and members of various social classes in the colonies. As historians, students plan, write, and produce engaging educational podcasts to share online with peers around the country.
