| Publisher Description: Vivid storytelling and authentic dialogue bring American history to life and place readers in the shoes of real people who experienced some of the most pivotal moments of the end of the American Revolution and the early years of the United States. With the signing of the Treaty of Paris and the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, the Founding Fathers of the United States needed to lay the groundwork for the new nation. Early years of government expose weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation, which leads to the Constitutional Convention. The Founders begin drafting the Constitution of the United States. Readers dive into this history and make choices throughout that affect the outcome of the story. Scenarios are developed and lead up to choices, which the readers take to control the direction of the character and story. This format creates a unique and powerful experience for readers as they face the challenges and decisions that real people encountered. |
