How did a tax dispute become a war, and how did a war become a nation? This documentary tells the complete story of the American Revolution from 1765 to 1789. Watch as British colonial policies push Americans to rebellion, as the first shots at Lexington explode into eight years of warfare across two continents. Experience the major battles—Bunker Hill, Trenton, Saratoga, Yorktown—and see what happened after: the Treaty of Paris, Washington’s historic resignation, and the Constitutional Convention that built a republic from the ashes of war.
