How did thirteen divided colonies challenge the British Empire and win American independence?

This full American Revolution documentary for sleep follows the long and uncertain struggle from Lexington and Concord to Yorktown and the Treaty of Paris. Discover how George Washington and the Continental Army survived defeat, hunger, disease, expiring enlistments, and years of war against one of the world’s most powerful empires.
Journey through the retreat from New York, Washington’s crossing of the Delaware, the victories at Trenton and Saratoga, the winter at Valley Forge, the French alliance, and the southern campaign that led to British surrender.

This carefully researched history documentary also explores the experiences of ordinary soldiers, women, Loyalists, Black Americans, Native nations, German troops, and the French allies whose support helped secure victory.

Released during America 250, this is not a story of inevitable triumph. It is the story of how an uncertain rebellion survived long enough to become an independent nation.
Settle in and join Nighttime Biographies for a calm, unhurried journey through the war that created the United States.
