About the movie: from the website
Although the shots fired at Lexington and Concord marked the first battle of the war, the path to the Revolution did not start there. The American colonies had made great progress operating under individual legislatures, which could levy taxes, muster troops, and pass certain laws that regulated each colony, but the colonists were still subjects of King George III of England.
By the 1750s, the colonists had come to believe that governing themselves was their right. When Great Britain began to directly tax the colonists to raise funds after the costly French and Indian War, the colonists were outraged. They believed they had all the same rights as Englishmen, who could elect members of Parliament to represent them—especially on such subjects as taxes.
In England, however, the attitude was different: The British government believed the colonies were created to be used in whatever way the King and Parliament believed was best, and the stage was set for conflict.
In this outstanding film, young viewers will journey back to the American colonies during the period leading to that first fateful battle. They’ll experience the events that led the colonists to break with England, forming a new, democratic republic unlike any before in history. Viewers will join the TimeCycle Academy as they come to understand and appreciate the efforts the colonists made to pursue their freedom and forever separate from Great Britain.
Our Thoughts:
I think this is a great concept. Explanations of some of the most significant events in US History, geared to a level that elementary children can understand.
