The Declaration Teacher's Guide

Our curriculum guide takes you through the events of 1776 - a year like no other. With war upon them, the Patriots in Philadelphia select George Washington to lead the Continental Army. At the same time in Boston, the Battle of Bunker Hill shows the British that the Americans are not going to be pushovers. The Declaration traces these momentous events, as well as the Siege of Boston, culminating in the drafting and signing of the Declaration of Independence—a document like no other.
