American Independence

This history of America in a quick Slice puts a few myths to rest and uncovers the real facts behind one of the biggest events in history.

We start by finding out what Columbus really discovered, and why the USA isn't called the United States of Columbia. Then we look at the Pilgrims and the Puritans, and how their conflicting visions shaped modern America.

And we see how the loyal British colonies were mistreated for generations by the British Parliament back home, until finally they had no choice but to rise up and fight back.

This is the real story of America, from Columbus to Washington, discovery to independence.
