Teaching a Diverse American Revolution

From the website: "The American Revolution is about more than just political acts and military battles. It is also about freedom and the many contradictions and limitations of that freedom. For instance, African Americans, American Indians, and women did not share equally in the freedoms of the American Revolution, and their roles in the Revolution are often overlooked.

Teaching about the roles of Africans and African Americans, American Indian peoples, and women creates a more inclusive classroom that helps students see themselves in history.

Check out these resources below to help you bring these diverse stories into your classroom."
