Independence was declared in July 1776, but it still had to be defended and won on the battlefields. After a rough autumn campaign, George Washington and the Continental Army faced "the times that try men's souls." But on Christmas night 1776 they crossed the Delaware River and launched a surprise attack. The Ten Crucial Days Campaign had begun and changed the course of the American Revolution! 

You’re invited to join the American Battlefield Trust for a free Resource Spotlight Webinar. We’ll venture into the wintry history of 1776-1777, and you'll collect 10 (or more) free classroom resources. Whether you're looking for fresh resources to add to your Revolutionary War lessons this fall or planning ahead for a just-before-winter-break 250th commemoration, this quick-paced professional development session will inspire you to teach primary sources of "The American Crisis" of 1776.

Sarah Kay Bierle of the American Battlefield Trust will host this virtual session, taking you through the Ten Crucial Days timeline and highlighting teaching ideas with primary sources, new lesson plans, biographies, and more. You'll receive a digital packet of free resources and an attendance certificate is available by request during the session.
