Description: Rhode Island is Americas smallest state, but its history is far from tiny. This information-rich text takes readers on a journey through Rhode Islands colonial history and the role it played in gaining independence for the American colonies. Students will learn about Rhode Islands religious and social environment, early industry, and key historical figures. Important events such as King Philips War, Stamp Act protests, and the Revolutionary War are examined through the unique lens of Rhode Islands colonial environment. Primary sources, maps, and period-specific artwork supplement the text and support social studies curricula.
