The French and Indian War

The story of the american revolution begins just as the ink is drying on the treaty of paris. Next week we will kick things off with the first of two episodes covering the 17 sixties and early 17 seventies. Then we will move on into the campaigns of the revolutionary war on our way to independence. And then finally, the ratification of the united states constitution, which is either the ultimate embodiment of the ideals of the revolution, or an abject betrayal of them.
