Then, they pummel the British garrison in Boston. Victory electrifies and emboldens the Patriot cause, and in the summer of 1776, the Declaration of Independence signals a new dawn for the former American colonies. But Britain will not let this treachery stand. It assembles the largest expeditionary force in its history to crush the rebels, and when the British armada arrives off New York, the conflict is poised to escalate to new heights. ------------------------------------ Thank you to our series historical consultant, Professor Frank Cogliano of the University of Edinburgh.
