Overview

Before the Revolution, before the Declaration, there was a slow, steady burn. Our Great Nation: Lighting a Fuse in the American Colonies (1770-1774) invites readers of all ages to witness the dramatic years when the American colonies began to shift from loyal subjects to self-governing people on the edge of revolution. Perfect for readers interested in early American history, civic education, and family discussion Explains key events such as the Boston Massacre, Tea Party, Regulator Movement, and First Continental Congress in clear, compelling language Explores themes of liberty, moral courage, justice, and the growing sense of American identity From backcountry uprisings to pulpit politics, from fiery speeches in Virginia to quiet boycotts in Pennsylvania, this volume reveals how protest turned into purpose. These are the final years of colonial unity under the British Crown and the first moments of something altogether new. Whether read aloud as a family or explored independently by curious minds, Our Great Nation offers an age-appropriate, story-rich portrait of how America came to the brink of independence not with a bang, but with bold, determined steps.
