Find out what life was like in colonial America from the people who
lived it! This first book in the American Heritage American Voices
series will give you a rare glimpse into the day-to-day experiences
of early Americans. You'll learn from fourteen-year-old George
Washington about his Rules of Civility and Decent Behaviour (such
as "Do not laugh too much or too loud in public."); you'll read the
testimony of an accused witch from the Salem witch trials; and
you'll hear about the terrible conditions African slaves suffered
when they were brought to America, from one of the slaves who
survived. You'll also find out about what led up to the Boston Tea
Party, what happened to the signers of the Declaration of
Independence, and the daring mission of the first submarine (in
1776!). From Columbus's letter describing his first voyage to
America to the Constitution of the United States, Colonies and
Revolution presents a wealth of period documents, including
diaries, letters, articles, advertisements, speeches, and more,
from both famous figures and ordinary citizens. Find out how all of
these American voices working together helped to make this country
what it is today.
