Revolution and Constitution: 1763-1791

Revolution and Constitution: 1763-1791 provides a range of insight and history in many facets of the time period. Students encounter unusual people such as Ann Lee and Elkanah Watson. They are introduced to interesting circumstances and conditions, such as child-rearing beliefs of the era and newspaper advertisements for escaped slaves. Because many primary source materials about the Revolution and Constitution are available, only one lesson is directly linked to the American Revolution and only two are directly linked to the writing of the Constitution.
