The Year in Revolution: 1782 Battle of the Saintes video reminds us that although French Admiral de Grasse was the victor in 1781’s naval battles in the Chesapeake, leading to the grand American victory at Yorktown, the tables were turned in 1782 when he surrendered the Ville de Paris at the Battle of the Saintes off Dominica, where the he was captured by the British.
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.
