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 Two (Monday, November 17)<\/strong><br \/>\nAn Asylum for Mankind (May 1775 \u2013 July 1776)<br \/>\nNew Englanders rush to surround the British Army in Boston, but as war begins Americans find themselves sharply divided. After the Battle of Bunker\u2019s Hill, George Washington of Virginia arrives to command the newly created Continental Army. In July 1776, the Continental Congress issues the Declaration of Independence, insisting on the people\u2019s right to resist tyranny and govern themselves.<\/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.
