<div><div style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><div>From the <a href="https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/the-american-revolution/" target="_blank">PBS press release</a>:</div><div><br></div><div style="margin-left:40px">"THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION examines how America’s founding turned the world upside-down.
<div><p>Thirteen British colonies on the Atlantic Coast rose in
rebellion, won their independence, and established a new form of
government that radically reshaped the continent and inspired centuries
of democratic movements around the globe.
</p><p>An expansive look at the virtues and contradictions of the war
and the birth of the United States of America, the film follows dozens
of figures from a wide variety of backgrounds. Through their individual
stories, viewers experience the war through the memories of the men and
women who experienced it: the rank-and-file Continental soldiers and
American militiamen (some of them teenagers), Patriot political and
military leaders, British Army officers, American Loyalists, Native
soldiers and civilians, enslaved and free African Americans, German
soldiers in the British service, French and Spanish allies, and various
civilians living in North America, Loyalist as well as Patriot,
including many made refugees by the war.
</p><p>The Revolution began a movement for people around the world to
imagine new and better futures for themselves, their nations, and for
humanity. It declared American independence with promises that we
continue to strive for. The American Revolution opened the door to
advance civil liberties and human rights, and it asked questions that we
are still trying to answer today." <a href="https://www.pbs.org/about/about-pbs/blogs/news/the-american-revolution-a-new-film-from-ken-burns-to-premiere-november-16-2025/" target="_blank"><b><u>Read the full press release</u></b></a>
