250 years ago 13 British colonies on the Atlantic Coast rose in rebellion, won their independence, and established a new form of government that radically reshaped the continent and inspired centuries of democratic movements around the globe.


Next month we are reexamining that time in history with Ken Burns' six-part series “The American Revolution.” While we wait, we quizzed our PBS SoCal colleagues.


Watch ""The American Revolution"" starting Sunday (11/16) at 8pm on PBS SoCal and the PBS app.
