More DescriptionLibertad explica cómo las trece colonias declararon su independencia de la Gran Bretaña y lucharon para defender a los Estados Unidos de América. Liberty explains how the Thirteen colonies declare their independence and fight to defend the United States of America. After Great Britain levied taxes on imports, the colonists rebel. The Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party ensue. King George responds by sending General Gage and his troops, which leads to battles in Concord and Boston. The Continental Congress signs of the Declaration of Independence. A new flag is created. ¿Yankee Doodle¿ is adapted from a British battle song. With Washington¿s army down to 5,000 soldiers, they cross the Delaware River, capturing 1,000 enemy soldiers in Trenton and defeating the British at Princeton. Americans continue to fight hard, but lose Philadelphia. After the British surrender in Saratoga, France joins the Americans. In Valley Forge, one out of four soldiers dies. French, Spanish, and Dutch allies rally behind the Americans. John Paul Jones, Captain of ¿Bonhomme Richard,¿ utters, ¿I have not yet begun to fight!¿ The British surrender to the Americans at Yorktown. When Cornwallis¿ second in command, General O¿Hara leads his army to surrender, he apologizes for the absence of Lord Cornwallis. Washington remains in the background on a brown horse and sends General Lincoln to accept the sword of Cornwallis and direct the British troops to ground their arms. Cornwallis frequently appeared in triumph at the head of his army, but he shrinks from participation in their degrading surrender. Washington and the Continental Army ride triumphantly into New York City. Washington resigns his commission, establishing civilian authority over the military. Led by George Washington, the Constitution is signed, making it the supreme law of the land.
