American Revolution
Storyboard-Text
- It was 1775, and a young woman named Liberty was watching the 13 Colonies form a nation. The Stamp Act was just enacted, and this meant colonists had no representation in the British parliament.
- The British troops were still in the colonies, and the Townsend Act was creating protests and massacres. Colonists became self-governing and separated themselves from Britain. 
- American natives grew resentment for the British, and so the Boston Tea Party occurred. They dumped the products from Britain into the Boston Harbor. 
- The First, and soon later Second Continental Congress formed to declare rights of colonists. Some of these leaders included George Washington, John and Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson.
- On July 4, 1776, America signed the Declaration of Independence. Some leaders from the Continental Congresses lead the colonies as they became independent from Britain.
- Freedom! America is now a nation without a king. What a radical idea! Democracy began to form and many people of America had more rights!
