What begins as a political clash between colonists and the British government grows into a bloody struggle that will engage more than two dozen nations and forever change the world. THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION is a six-part, 12-hour documentary series that explores the country\u2019s founding struggle and its eight-year War for Independence. The film is directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt and written by Geoffrey Ward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Episode One (Sunday, November 16)<\/strong><br \/>\nIn Order to Be Free (May 1754 \u2013 May 1775)<br \/>\nAmerican colonists oppose efforts by the British Crown and Parliament to seize greater control in North America, escalating simmering tensions over land, taxes, and sovereignty into violent confrontation. After protestors dump tea in Boston Harbor, the British government enacts martial law in Massachusetts. Fighting at Lexington and Concord ignites a war that will last eight years.<\/p>\n<div data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><strong>Paintings on Display!<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Throughout the week, guests can explore Historic Beverly\u2019s rotating art exhibition at The Cabot, featuring original works that bring America\u2019s revolutionary story to life.
