The American Revolution was a profound event for those who lived through it as Americans, made difficult choices, and endured numerous sacrifices. Our current understandings of the Revolution are often simplified. The war pitted Americans against each other: those fighting for independence against those loyal to Britain. The break with England was not easy, coming only after fighting had already started. Nor do most people realize the scope of the war: it included large battles and small skirmishes all over the eastern United States, and fighting spread to Europe as well. The Revolutionary War Fact Book includes a day-to-day account of important actions and events, chronicles the role of important people, and covers topics such as weapons and equipment. The latest historical scholarship and archaeological research has been incorporated into the book. Also included is a comprehensive list of historic sites to visit to better understand our War of Independence.
