The Revolution
Disc Two

Things are not necessarily easier after 1776, as the fledgling government suffers through further threats to its ideals

Path to World War
As the American situation reaches desperation, Benjamin Franklin descends on Paris and talks the French into joining the fight against Britain. Meanwhile, British General William Howe badly defeats George Washington's troops at the Battle of Brandywine. To the North, American General Horatio Gates takes the Battle of Saratoga, thereby convincing France to enter the fight.

Forging An Army
General Washington's losses continue, and some in Congress begin to question his leadership. Washington's immediate concern, however, is for the health and security of his ragged, starving, and slowly dwindling army.

Treason & Betrayal
The once heroic General Benedict Arnold turns his back on his country in an act of pride, sealing his legacy as a traitor. George Washington takes the war to the frontier, burning the Iroquois Indians our of New York State and leaving a wake of destruction and devastation.
