Battle of Jumonville Glen. This "battle" was one of the most important ones because it was the battle that started the French and Indian War, which then lead to the American Revolution and the creation of the United States of America. The video expla...ins how this battle happened from both the French and British viewpoints. An excellent video to show students the "fog of war" during a battle as well as cause and effect. (04:22)

This is a slide show. One of the earliest leaks in U.S.
history played a key role in stoking tensions between Great Britain and
the American colonies. Benjamin Franklin leaked letters by the loyalist
Thomas Hutchinson recommending a stronger Br...itish presence in Boston. Hutchinson was forced out of the colonies.There are more modern ones, too, but they all show the importance of what the public should know and what should be a secret. A great topic for a debate. Younger students may not know of these people, but the topic could be of value.
