Revolution Detectives • General George Washington has a problem during the American Revolution. It is 1775 and the British hold advantages in virtually every important area needed to win the war. He needs to find out what the enemy is doing before they do it if the Americans are to have a chance at victory. Besides the British army, there are German Hessians, Indians and Loyalists to keep track of.
Revolution Detectives • The British are also using informants to report on the American activities, but they are confident they can win the war without this “extra help!” Washington’s idea is to act as his own “spymaster,” and recruit spies to gather information and report to him or the people he trusts the most.
