This below collage depicts key events in the American Revolution. In the top left corner, is a scene from the Boston Massacre that is significant because it was the first time that the Colonists rebelled against the British. In the top right corner, is an illustration of the Boston Tea Party which is important because the Colonists were rebelling against the British for their high taxation on tea. In this illustration the Colonists are dumping cases upon cases of tea into the Boston harbor. Next, the painting in the top center depicts the Battle of Concord and is important because it marked the beginning of the Revolutionary war. In the illustration you see soldiers saying good bye to their wives and loved ones, while the others rush off to fight and join the revolution. Directly below the Battle of Concord illustration on the left sits an image of Betsy Ross sewing what would forever become a sign of America’s patriotism, the first American Flag. The sewing of the American flag image is significant not only to our nation’s history, but to the Revolution because it forever more provided Americans a symbol. To the right of the Betsy Ross image is the famous George Washington crossing the Delaware River painting; this painting, has become a symbol of the Revolutionary War and represents the determination of the Patriots as they fought the icy conditions to bring a surprise attack to the Germans on Christmas morning. The bottom center image, the surrender to Washington at Yorktown is very significant because it represents the end of the Revolutionary War. media type="custom" key="7213767" align="center"
