As always, Liberty's Kids does a great job of presenting these themes in a way that is accessible to kids while still being engaging for adults.

Overall, "Yorktown" is a fitting finale to the first season of Liberty's Kids, showcasing the strengths of the series in terms of storytelling, character development, and historical accuracy.
