Birth of the Nation

1998
The purpose of this web page is to teach about the people, places and events at the Battles of Lexington and Concord at the start of the Revolutionary War, April 19th, 1775. We tried to make the Revolution come to life for children. We wanted the site to be fun as well as informative. We also wanted other children to think about history in their own towns.
