Independence

This episode chronicles the defeat of the patriots at Bunker Hill and examines how the Continental Congress turned to a Virginia aristocrat named Washington to lead an army short on men and ammunition, and traces the growing momentum of rebellion, spurred by Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" and Washington's leadership, that led to the signing of Jefferson's document on July 4, 1776.

Misfortunes of War

A look at the bold Christmas campaign to recapture Trenton and Princeton that made Washington a legend and inspired more than half of his depleted army to reenlist for 1777. Divide and conquer was the strategy of the British. Follow General Burgoyne's relentless march to split New England from Canada to Albany, and how elusiveness, as much as anything, defined General Washington's early campaigns. Then follow the fateful crossing of the Delaware, and the subsequent battles that made Washington a legend.

A War Without End

The Dark Days

A look at how the daring strategy of Nathanael Greene to split his army unfolded and how Daniel Morgan's upset of the British at Cowpens was the turning point in the war. The war was decided in the South in 1781, where an American victory seemed unlikely just a year before. As the war dragged on, the costs to both sides in terms of casualties and economics began to mount. See how the Revolution affected families at home, and learn how the introduction of guerrilla warfare in the South helped the patriots stave off defeat.
