From Thirteen Colonies to One Nation

FROM THIRTEEN COLONIES TO ONE NATION explores the trials and triumphs of America's founding fathers as they struggled to govern a new nation while still fighting to gain independence from Great Britain, the world's greatest power at the time. From the first rumblings of rebellion against unfair taxes to the Declaration of Independence, from the Articles of Confederation to the Constitution, readers will gain an understanding of the challenges our country faced, and how the colonies joined together to form the nation we have today.
