In the winter of 1775, Patriot forces invade Canada in an audacious attempt to seize Quebec. Then, they pummel the British garrison in Boston.
Victory electrifies and emboldens the Patriot cause, and in the summer of 1776, the Declaration of Independence signals a new dawn for the former American colonies.
But Britain will not let this treachery stand. It assembles the largest expeditionary force in its history to crush the rebels, and when the British armada arrives off New York, the conflict is poised to escalate to new heights.

Oh 0:30 I like the different voice for quotes, I'm not always looking at the screen, so it's super helpful. Would it be possible to also read out the chapter titles and written quotes as well?
What incredible video! Thank you
The best video yet! What a great series this is.💯
In god we trust 🦅🦅🦅
Magnificent 🌹 👏
👏👏👏👏
Muricans already loved their guns back then to make a statue into 42,088 bullets.
Nothing but a long history of Plebians dying at the behest of the Patricians on both sides of the battlefield 🤷♂️ nothing has Changed for thousands of years.
It's terrifying just how FAST this conflict escalated, considering all the attempts from both sides to prevent war.
