This “how” video describes how George Washington frequently had a fraught relationship with Congress, and highlights his advocacy for his troops, for adequate supplies, and with the challenges inherent to coordinating a unified war effort across the country. Featured video topics were suggested by our national network of Master Teacher Seminar alumni.
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 the 1776 installment of Year in Revolution was made possible by a grant from the by 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.
