Seeds of Liberty: Causes of the American Revolution
Full motion footage accompanied by stills of historical events combined with dramatized narration explain the growing unrest between America and Great Britain in the pre-
revolutionary period. America comprised a great diversity of people working to build a successful nation. England began to impose more and more of its trade policies and high taxes.
