The American Revolution
KCTS, July 3-4

Thirteen American colonies unite in rebellion, win an eight-year war to secure their independence, and establish a new form of government that would inspire democratic movements at home and around the globe. What begins as a political clash between colonists and the British government grows into a bloody struggle that will engage more than two dozen nations and forever change the world. This six part Ken Burns documentary will air on KCTS, Channel 9 beginning July 3, 9 pm and continuing on July 4. |
