Book excerpt: Welcome to the 1770s, years of big hats, big wigs, and big ideas. You might have learned about the American Revolution in history classes, but this book is here to tell you everything your teachers couldn't. Each chapter of our trivia books is broken up into fifteen short sections that well introduce you to major players, major ideas, or majorly weird stories. To go along with the fifteen short break-downs of the war, every chapter also ends with twenty fun facts or bits of trivia, and five questions to test your knowledge of the the American Revolution.--back cover
