The American Revolution: An Asylum for Mankind

Ken Burns presents “The American Revolution,” a six-part series on the pivotal events that led to a bloody struggle that will engage more than two dozen nations and forever change the world.

In “An Asylum for Mankind,” New Englanders rush to surround the British Army in Boston, but as war begins, Americans find themselves sharply divided.

After the Battle of Bunker’s Hill, George Washington arrives to command the newly created Continental Army. In July 1776, the Continental Congress issues the Declaration of Independence, insisting on the people’s right to resist tyranny and govern themselves.
