The Year in Revolution: 1782 Overview video chronicles: the war winding down in North America, Parliament voting against continuing war and empowering King George III to negotiate peace, Lord North’s “no confidence” vote and resignation, the replacement of the commander of British forces in America, the Battle of the Saintes, the British evacuations of Savannah and Charleston, and the beginning of peace negotiations in Paris.
The Year in Revolution Series was produced with classroom use in mind. Beginning with 1775 and ending with 1783, students and lifelong learners alike will learn about each year of the Revolution through a comprehensive overview video and five “who, what, where, when, and how” videos. The animated series draws heavily from the American Revolution Institute of the Society of the Cincinnati’s library and museum collections.
Funding for Year in Revolution: 1783 Overview was made possible by a grant from the George S. Rich Family Foundation. The creative team for this series was assembled by the American Revolution Institute and the talented educational production leads at Makematic Limited/ClickView.
