Now the focus turns to the ideas and government that built a new nation. Multiple-choice questions ask about Thomas Paine's Common Sense, the Declaration's promise of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," the Continental Congress organizing the war, and Crispus Attucks dying in the Boston Massacre.
Fill-ins anchor July 4, 1776, John Adams's leadership, the grievances against King George III, the Articles of Confederation, and the thirteen original states. Fourth graders connect founding documents to the revolutionary ideas that shaped American government.
