Description
Students will analyze the many factors that influenced the Colonists winning the Revolutionary War against the most powerful empire in the world.

Next pairs, will complete a fact sort as they determine who had the greatest advantage. The class will then read placards about the war and complete a matrix about the circumstances that helped or hurt the British or Colonists.
