The Revolutionary War
The Revolutionary War is a powerful portrait of the epic war and rebellion that forged a nation and the American character. Before this war began, America was simply a gathering of thirteen separate colonies with no common religion, heritage or ambition. The war became a six year saga of military maneuvering and political intrigue, of shifting loyalties and passionate ideals, of fear and courage in an unpredictable struggle for freedom that teetered on the brink of disaster. It was the world's first revolution--and right till the end, the outcome lay in doubt. The Revolutionary War recaptures the spirit of '76 through battle re-enactments, and the words of the participants, even their very accents. In this stunning production from The Learning Channel, history becomes a rousing drama--and it begins on an April morning in New England, with a shot heard round the world.
