The REAL American Revolution: The War Started 70 Years Earlier (Full Documentary)

Описание: The American Revolution didn't start in 1776. It didn't even start with the "shot heard 'round the world." The true revolution began quietly, decades earlier, in the minds, habits, and bloody contradictions of colonial life.

This is the complete, unflinching story of how America was born—from the first settlements at Jamestown and the ideas of the Enlightenment, through the fires of war, to the uneasy founding of a nation built on both idealistic freedom and brutal oppression.

We trace the 70-year transformation that made revolution inevitable:

· How "salutary neglect" taught colonists self-rule
· How Enlightenment ideas from Locke and Franklin became weapons
· The central paradox: a fight for liberty built on slavery and displacement
· The untold stories of the women, Black patriots, and Indigenous peoples who shaped the conflict
· The 250-year legacy that stretches from Yorktown to the Civil War, to the challenges of 2025

As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this documentary re-examines the epic journey that created a nation—and asks what its unfinished revolution means for us today.
