Sinopse

Relive the revolution that gave birth to the United States as it stands today…

The word ‘Independence’ is, quite frankly, a very common word today – celebrated, venerated, and metaphorically worn as a badge by every citizen of a democracy, such as the United States. And it has a deep association with the word ‘Freedom.’ For any American today, these two form the basis of their fundamental rights – you were born with them, and you will die with them. But have you ever thought about the weight that these two words carry? Or the toll they left in their wake within the bloodied pages of the history of the United States?

In his famous Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln evoked the pillars on which the founding fathers established America: “…a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” This “new nation” was built by the toil, sweat, and blood of thousands of Americans… and the founding fathers had to play a vital role in this revolution.

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • How the Seven Years’ War set the stage for the greatest revolution in American history
  • Of Massacres and “Tea Parties” – how Boston became the hotbed of revolution and resistance against the British rule
  • The 15 acts from the British parliament that formed a noose around the hardworking populace of the America
  • Roots of a modern Congress – why the 13 colonies resorted to creating their own parliament (and how it laid the foundations of a future governing body)
  • The key battles and sieges that formed a turning point and were crucial in shaping the course of the American Revolution
  • Untold stories of 9 influential and revolutionary women and their contribution toward American Independence
  • In the aftermath – explore the trials and triumphs of a new nation born in the aftermath of the American Revolution

And much more.
