Tag: REVOLUTIONARY WAR

The first major victory for the Continental Army occurred 250 years ago on March 17, 1776, when the British evacuated Boston. 

In 1776 – 250 years ago – General George Washington made a pragmatic and radical decision when he integrated the Continental Army, allowing free black men – and later some formerly enslaved men – to serve alongside white soldiers. 

We know the leaders in the cause of American independence. But can you name a single American opponent of independence? Probably not. But they too were Americans who deserve to be remembered.

Words matter. Actions speak. Freedom is contagious. 

Let the celebration of America's 250th commence - with a remembrance of the Revolution's first battle.

On the Fourth of July we celebrate the American Revolution and those ideals which this country was built on which were best articulated in the Declaration of Independence.

American Village near Montevallo in Shelby County will be holding a special Celebrate America program through the end of July where the whole family can learn about the Revolutionary War, the Constitution, and life in America during the eighteenth Century.
