The use of political cartoons during the American Revolution was a powerful means to advocate for colonial unity, criticize British policy, and depict the conflict's key events. Join Benjamin Franklin as he shares some of his favorite political cartoons of the era and describes how these images, combined with satire, both reflected and shaped public opinion.

Have you ever wondered what the British were thinking just before and during the American Revolution? How did seemingly simple actions to obtain repayment for defending the colonies during the French & Indian war turn into open rebellion? Listen to King George III and Lord North as they provide 'their side' of the story.

At the beginning of 1776, few in the colonies were advocating independence: Americans based their grievances against Parliament on their rights as British subjects. By the end of 1776, independence was on every patriot’s lips. in his book, Declaring Independence: Why 1776 Matters, Edward J. Larson provides a compact, insightful history of that pivotal year and is a must read for anyone interested in learning more about the origins of our nations's fight for self-governance. Buy it now or check your local library for a copy.

Before George Washington became general of the Continental Army, he was a Virginia surveyor, planter, and militia officer. Born in 1732, he gained early prominence fighting in the French and Indian War. On 3 July 2026, the epic movie, Young Washington, will be released in theaters. With an all-star cast, this movie will surely be a summer hit! Click the image above to take a first peek at this upcoming movie.

Welcome to The Colorado Society

Sons of the American Revolution

As President of the Colorado Society, Sons of the American Revolution, I extend to you a personal thank you for visiting our website. Our society was formed in 1889 and is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and teaching American history to future generations.

We are a male lineage society whose members can trace lineal descent to a man or woman who provided service in the war of independence. We are active in the community with our support for Eagle Scouts, ROTC, and our classroom activities, including the “Patriot Chest” presentation.

Our society fosters camaraderie among its members. If you would like to join our society or have other questions we would love to hear from you. I remain, humbly,

Yours to serve,

Hilton Martin, President
