374 The American Revolutionary War in the West

Published: Dec. 26, 2023, 6 a.m.

The American Revolution and its War for Independence comprised the United States\u2019 founding movement. The War for Independence also served as the fifth major war for European empire in North America.

The fourth war for European empire, the Seven Years\u2019 War, reshaped and redefined Europe\u2019s worldwide colonial landscape in Great Britain\u2019s favor. The American Revolutionary War presented Britain\u2019s European rivals with an opportunity to regain some of the territory they had lost. An opportunity we can see those rivals seizing in the Revolutionary War\u2019s Western Theater.

Stephen Kling, Jr., is the author and co-author of several books and articles about the American Revolution in the West. His latest book, The American Revolutionary War in the West, has served as the basis for a museum exhibit at the St. Charles County Heritage Museum in St. Peters, Missouri. Stephen joins us as our expert guide on our expedition through the Revolution\u2019s Western Theater.
