This Year in Revolution video explains that while events in Massachusetts sparked the Revolution, Pennsylvania helped shape its destiny, with the events there in 1777 changing the course of history. This video describes the seat of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia and later the capture of the city, and chronicles the Philadelphia campaign and end-of-year retreat to Valley Forge. Featured video topics were suggested by our national network of Master Teachers Seminar alumni.
The Year in Revolution Series was produced with classroom use in mind. Beginning with 1775 and ending with 1783, students and lifelong learners alike will learn about each year of the Revolution through a comprehensive overview video and five “who, what, where, when, and how” videos. The animated series draws heavily from the American Revolution Institute of the Society of the Cincinnati’s library and museum collections.
Funding for this video was made possible by a grant from the by the George S. Rich Family Foundation. The creative team for this series was assembled by the American Revolution Institute and the talented educational production leads at Makematic Limited.
