Revolution: The War for Independence

Why seek independence after nearly 200 years as British
colonies?  Why did the French and Indian
War lead directly to the Revolution?  How
did this war lead to the French Revolution and the eventual rise of Napoleon?  We'll learn the answers to these and more
questions.  In this presentation, Jim
wears a uniform of the Illinois regiment and discusses the American
Revolutionary War, including Illinois' part in this conflict.
