The Revolution (2007)

They were everyday men and women — farmers and shopkeepers, sailors and tradesmen, seamstresses and silversmiths, brewers and printers — who came of age in a new world amid a flood of intoxicating new ideas and dared to take on the mightiest empire in the world. "THE REVOLUTION", a new 13-part series on THE HISTORY CHANNEL, tells the story of a remarkable group of ordinary individuals who transformed themselves into architects of the future and built a new nation unlike any that had come before.
