The Year in Revolution: 1777 Overview video explores key events in 1777, including the Battle of Princeton, the adoption of the flag of the United States, the battle of Oriskany, the Philadelphia campaign (the battles of Brandywine and Germantown) and the capture of Philadelphia, the Battle of Saratoga, the introduction of the Articles of Confederation, and the encampment of Valley Forge. Featured video topics were suggested by our national network of Master Teachers 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 theYear in Revolution: 1777 Overview 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.
