We just finished studying the American Revolution. We talked about the troops and where they travelled, also how people got from place to place, as there were no cars, trains, planes, etc. As you can see I put a map of the Northern colonies on my blog. The students can now use the distance finding tools to measure how far the troops actually walked or rode horses to get to Quebec. Also Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain boys attacked Fort Ticonderoga and dragged the cannons they acquired over to Boston and the Battle of Bunker Hill. Using Google maps and measuring the distance these troops travelled will be a real eye opener for the kids. I can also use this when we are studying the Oregon Trail.
