REBELS AND REDCOATS focuses on the military struggle - the soldiers, the leaders, the tactics and the strategy of this grand conflict, but it also explores the painful conflicts within the American people themselves. It tells of the bitter disappointments of black slaves in the South, promised freedom by the British, and takes viewers inside the vicious struggles of brothers, friends and families forced to choose sides between loyalists and rebels.

The series traces the ups and downs of this drama from the beginning of the insurrection in Boston to the surrender of the British forces to Washington in Yorktown. REBELS AND REDCOATS puts the war in the context of the world events that so affected its outcome, and that helped to put a powerful new player, the United States, on the world map.

Says executive producer Zvi Dor Ner, “Most Americans know only one story line when it comes to the American Revolution; I hope that REBELS AND REDCOATS will surprise and delight them by proposing a different one, a story of the War of Independence told from the point of view of the loser, viewing the events that separated America from Britain more as a civil war than a revolution.”

Professor Richard Holmes explores the background of the American War of Independence, tracing the spark that ignited the conflict and looking at the role of the main agitators : Boston brewer Sam Adams, merchant smuggler John Hancock and silversmith Paul Revere. The British historian reveals that many Americans remained loyal to the crown and sheds new light on the rebels' remarkably advanced military tactics which defeated King George’s men at Boston

Professor Richard Holmes continues his exploration into the background of America’s first civil war, the War of Independence, looking at the effects of 1776, when all 13 colonies had declared themselves independent. George Washington was building an effective fighting force in a bid to vanquish the British, and even persuaded the French to join his side. Overcoming difficulties including half-starved volunteer soldiers and the rough terrain of the American wilderness, he led his men to an e…

Professor Richard Holmes explores the sinister turn the war took in 1778 : French against British, black against white and brother against brother, as the fighting moved south to the swamp lands of the Savannah River. He explains the intriguing alliances built between the black community and British forces and reveals the divided loyalties which split families and friends with tragic results

By 1781 the War of Independence had become a brutal struggle with neither side winning after five years of fighting. Professor Richard Holmes explains how a series of mistakes by the British, both on land and at sea, made possible the transformation of America’s destiny : with a little help from the latter’s French allies. Dramatic re-enactments and original testaments vividly bring to life every battle, and reveal the ineptitude of British command. Last in series
