From the tower of the Old North Church where Robert Newman gave the signal that the British were coming, Dave recalls the beginnings of the American Revolution. He explains that Boston Puritans felt they had a God-given right to revolt against tyrants who taxed them without representation. At the Hancock Clark House in Lexington, Dave reviews the biographies of John Hancock and the Reverend Jones Clark, and the reasons why the British accused them of treason. On Lexington Green, Dave reviews the history of the "shot heard 'round the world", and at Old North Bridge, Concorde, the American success and the subsequent British retreat. Next, at Bunker Hill, Dave provides a detailed account of the heavy fighting and numerous causalities in a conflict where the Americans established themselves as a solid fighting force. He closes with the story of Henry Knox who, with the approval of George Washington, brought British cannons 300 miles from Fort Ticonderoga to Dorchester Heights in Boston.
