The Revolutionary War: Why They Fought

by Kristin Marciniak

Why did colonists dump tea into the Boston harbor? Why did the British government cling to the 13 colonies with such force? Why did the French and Spanish lend a helping hand to the colonies? From local rebellions to full-scale battles, The Revolutionary War: Why They Fought reveals the motivations behind the Revolutionary War from all sides. Go beyond names and dates and ask: what were they fighting for?
