Maybe you check out this site on a whim are intrigued but do not feel the need to contribute because your knowledge of the American Revolution is not up to snuff.
After all, US History class was a long time ago and all those battles blend together after awhile. Thanks to the internet and dramatic music I can offer you a refresher. Campaign 1776 has created an interactive map of the American Revolution but it is much more than a map. It features epic narrators, dramatic music, shooting, marching and the occasional map. It is perfect in our world where we need over-the-top hyper-realistic presentations to keep our attention.

Nowhere do you hear the inalienable rights that Jefferson will later make the focus of the war. It makes me wonder how we can really claim truth on this matter of what the colonists were fighting for. My guess is those reasons are as diverse as humanity itself. So what is the story we tell ourselves and what purpose does that serve? Things to think about while you are listening to the videos.
