Commemorate the 250th Anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence by inviting a soldier in George Washington’s Continental Army to your school to teach your students about the American Revolution.
Soldiers of the American Revolution
The presenter is Mr. Arn Kind, a educator with over 48 years of experience. He will come in the uniform of a
soldier in George Washington’s Continental Army to share with you the events which gave birth to our great nation.
This year is the Sestercentennial (250th Anniversary) of the start of the American Revolution. The AMERICAN
REVOLUTION was America’s first civil war. It would split the country between Loyalists (Those who wanted to
stay loyal to the king.) and Patriots (Those who wanted to separate from Great Britain to become an independent
nation.). How could we, as a people, go from being proud members of the British empire; the greatest in the world,
to wanting our independence from the mother country, in the span of just ten years?
Through drama, role-playing and living history experiences, Mr. Kind’s multi-media presentation will give
participants an understanding of this turbulent time and make history come alive for us.
One of the reasons Mr. Kind’s presentation really makes this history come alive for his audiences is because of his
realistic and colorful portrayal of the people who participated in these events. Another reason is because of all the
maps, posters, clothing and artifacts he brings and displays for his audience to see. In order to display and use
these artifacts in his presentation, he makes sure that everything he brings in has been made safe. To portray a
soldier in the Revolution, Mr. Kind will act out some of these events.
Volunteers from the audience have the opportunity of taking on the role of soldiers in the Continental Army and
will learn some of the rudiments of Von Steuben’s Drill Manual.
This presentation will make the history of the founding of our nation come alive for your students. Invite a soldier of the Revolutionary War to your school today.
