Task
You will be researching the battles of the American Revolution. Each student will be given one battle to focus on. However, you should take the time to learn a little about each of the battles that occurred. You will also need to know just as much information about the battle that came before and after the one you have been assigned. Knowing about these battles will help you to know about why your battle may have happened as well as what its significance may have been.
