The Start of a New Nation
It took more than just winning on the battlefield to separate from Great Britain and become a new nation. In Revolutionary Anna, Anna and Benjamin answer their grandchildren's questions about what it was like to be part of the American Revolution, and the greatest experiment--establishing a new form of government.
Book Excerpt
Revolutionary Anna
Benjamin spoke up. “One of the most important things women did was stop buying imported goods, like fabrics, furniture, and tea from the British. This kept the British from collecting money, and it helped Americans figure out new ways to make the things we wanted and needed. That prepared us to be an independent country and build a strong economy.”
Anna nodded. “I didn’t mind giving up imported tea. We made our own herbal blends, and just like now, we drank cider, coffee, and hot chocolate.”
