The Stamp Tax & Townshend Duties were repealed many years before revolution broke out.- The Quebec Act created an appointed rather than elected government there and extended Quebec's boundaries to include the land west of the 1763 Proclamation Line along the Appalachian Mountains. Prominent people in the Colonies were secret investors in land development companies working illegally west of the line. They were determined to defy the Quebec Act.- The Massachusetts Government Act revoked the charter of that colony and declared that government positions would be appointed by the Crown. When an appointed council was installed similar to the system in Quebec, leaders throughout the colonies cried Tyranny.- The British freed as many slaves during the Revolution as during the many years of the Underground Railroad, but few of them made it to a life in freedom.- The young George Washington worked with and was mentored by a distant cousin who was heir and namesake of Thomas, Baron Cameron, the 3rd Earl of Fairfax who overthrew the King a century before. Did that influence our history?As they seek a way back to their own time, the Sinclairs help their new friends and make profound discoveries about themselves and about how our country began.Gate in the Fence of Time is an intriguing and deeply moving must read.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Before Usain Bolt or Tyson Gay, Bob Beamon or Carl Lewis, Jesse Owens was perhaps the greatest and most famous athlete in track and field history. Jesse Owens was born on a farm to a large family with many siblings. His grandparents had been slaves, and his sharecropper parents were poor. But against all odds, Jesse went on to become one of the greatest athletes in history. He learned to run with such grace that people said he was a floating wonder. After setting multiple world records as a college athlete, including three in less than an hour--the greatest 45 minutes in sport--Owens competed in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Adolf Hitler intended for the games to display Aryan superiority, but Jesse disrupted that plan. He became the first American track-and-field athlete to receive four Olympic gold medals and established his legacy as a hero in the face of prejudice. This child friendly entry in David A. Adler's well-known series contains an accessible mix of biography, facts, and history supported with lifelike illustrations. Back matter includes an author's note and a timeline. For almost thirty years, David Adler's Picture Book Biography series has profiled famous people who changed the world. Colorful, kid-friendly illustrations combine with Adler's expert mixtures of facts and personality (Booklist) to introduce young readers to history through compelling biographies of presidents, heroes, inventors, explorers, and adventurers. These books are ideal for first and second graders interested in history or who need reliable sources for school book reports. Casilla, Robert (illustrator).…
