Synopsis
The war for independence is often regarded as a people's struggle for liberty in the face of colonial oppression. However, the truth is that many men and women remained loyal to the British crown, and chose sides simply to lay claim to their neighbours' land. Reconstructions illustrate how the rebels' advanced military tactics sparked a conflict that raged beyond the control of the idealists behind the uprising: Boston brewer Sam Adams, silversmith Paul Revere and merchant smuggler John Hancock.
