Everybody's Revolution (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781899694105)

The story of the American Revolution starring the many men and women from various cultural backgrounds who made significant contributions in the fight for independence.

The dimensions of the patriot cause during the American Revolution were far more multicultural and multiethnic than we have for so long believed. Women, African Americans, Jews, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, European immigrants, and young adults played leading roles in the struggle for independence from Great Britain. Today it seems students and teachers want to know more about the past than what a few famous white men did. They want to understand how women and men of different cultures and backgrounds contributed to our early history, and to making America what it is today.
