Battle for a New Nation: Causes and Effects of the Revolutionary War

Following the grievances that sparked rebellion, this book walks readers through the events leading up to the American Revolution and the battles that forged a new nation. It explains how decisions made by British authorities and colonial leaders set off a chain of conflicts, from the first shots at Lexington and Concord to the final victory at Yorktown. The narrative then examines the immediate aftermath and the long-term consequences that shaped the United States' government, society, and identity. Designed for middle-grade readers, the cause-and-effect approach helps students see the connections between the war's origins and its lasting impact.
