Bookroo's summary

In 1775, tensions ignite as American colonists, tired of oppressive British laws, unite to form a militia. As representatives from all 13 colonies gather, they face a pivotal decision: declare independence or remain under British control. The Declaration of Independence becomes the symbol of their revolutionary spirit. Discover the stories and events that led to the historic outbreak at Lexington, where the fight for freedom began.

From the publisher

How the Revolutionary War Began The American colonists were fed up with British law. They refused to buy English goods. They formed a militia of tradesmen and farmers ready to fight at a moment’s notice. Most importantly, they joined together. All 13 colonies sent representatives to decide whether they should form a new country. That group wrote the Declaration of Independence, the document that summed up a revolution.
