Prelude to the revolutionary war [the maritime museum of SAN diego will enhance prelude to the revolutionary war, an immersive living history education program that transports students to 1774 as political tension and maritime unrest set the stage for american independence. Aboard the historic star of india, students assume the roles of merchant mariners navigating the triangle trade while exploring the economic pressures, trade restrictions, and political divisions that shaped colonial life. Through role playing, hands-on navigation, and primary source analysis, students examine multiple perspectives on the causes of the american revolution. Funding from the national endowment for the humanities and the secured $10,000 match funding from the rice family foundation will support historically accurate costuming, period-appropriate navigation tools, shipboard learning space improvements, and student scholarships during the nation?S 250TH anniversary.]
