| We’re proud to announce the rerelease of The American Revolution, a vivid and gripping course that delivers a blow-by-blow account of how 13 colonies broke free from one of the most powerful empires in history. Spanning from the post–French and Indian War imperial crisis to the climactic surrender at Yorktown, these 24 fast-paced lectures bring to life the people, battles, and ideas that shaped a revolution. Witness the dramatic moments when ordinary farmers became fighters, intellectuals became rebels, and a divided collection of colonies emerged as a united nation. From Lexington and Concord to Valley Forge, each episode is packed with the tension, strategy, and sacrifice behind America’s fight for independence.
Led by a compelling historian, the course uncovers not only military confrontations but the ideological rift between Britain and the colonies. Learn how pamphlets like Common Sense electrified the public, why Britain’s traditional understanding of government clashed with the colonists’ hunger for autonomy, and how figures like Washington, Greene, and Arnold rose and fell. With the return of The American Revolution, you'll gain new insight into how independence was won—not just through battlefield victories but through diplomacy, determination, and a growing sense of what it meant to be American. Whether you’re revisiting the story or learning it for the first time, this is history at its most compelling. | | | |
