With dramatizations of battles, eyewitness accounts, original documents and paintings, Rebels & Redcoats tells the untold story of ups and downs of the American Revolution, from the beginning of the insurrection in Boston, to the surrender of the British forces to General George Washington in Yorktown, Virginia. It puts the war in the context of the world events that so affected its outcome, and that helped to put a new power player, the United States, on the world map.
