Patreon Premiere! American Revolution Part 1 (Patreon)

Dear Patrons,

I'm delighted to share our latest video with you, Part 1 of our epic history of the American Revolution.

The first episode looks at the growing estrangement between Britain's North American colonies and 'the motherland' - except, for a growing number of Americans, it was no longer the motherland, but a distant and increasingly intrusive government, in which they had no direct representation. The political conflict soon led to polarisation, emotional rhetoric, and violence on the streets... Imagine if they'd had social media too.

Huge shout to PMF for their fantastic, creative and imaginative work on this episode, also to our historical consultant Prof Frank Cogliano, and everyone else involved in the production.

Part 2 will see the crisis escalate further, with the first skirmishes of the war fought at Lexington and Concord. We've already written this episode and it will be in production very soon.

I hope you enjoy the video, and look forward to your comments! Back with more updates soon.

Toby
