Description
For over half a century, Landmark Books have been an important part of children's libraries. Hailed as the first historical series for kids, Landmark Books show us where we've been and where we're going. Liberty! tells the story of the days leading up to America's fight for freedom. The document that came out of this time, the Declaration of Independence, affirms the rights and liberties we cherish to this day. On each page you'll find simple, informative text and full-color illustrations. Find out the answers to questions such as: How did the British anger the American colonists? Was it fun being a British redcoat? What's the true story behind the Boston Massacre? When did fighting break out between the Americans and the British? Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?
