Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania hosted both the Continental Congress and the darkest winter of the war. From the political debates in Philadelphia to the suffering at Valley Forge, the state's history captures the Revolution at its most fragile.
The seven towns in this collection span Pennsylvania's Revolutionary experience from the center of political power to the western frontier. Philadelphia was where independence was declared and then abandoned to British occupation. Valley Forge was where the Continental Army nearly ceased to exist. York served as the emergency capital when Philadelphia fell. Teaching Pennsylvania means teaching the gap between the ideals proclaimed in Independence Hall and the brutal reality of a war the Patriots were not certain they could win.
