00:00The American Revolution, birth of a new idea, not just a war.
00:06In the 1700s, 13 colonies lived under British rule,
00:09taxed heavily without any say in the decisions made across the ocean.
00:14The people were tired, tired of being unheard, unseen, and controlled.
00:19The famous cry, no taxation without representation,
00:24echoed through streets, farms, and cities.
00:27But this wasn't just about money, it was about dignity, rights,
00:30and the power to shape your own future.
00:34In April 1775, in the town of Lexington, a single mysterious shot was fired.
00:41No one knows who pulled the trigger,
00:43but that one shot became the spark that lit a revolution.
00:48Ordinary farmers picked up arms.
00:50Blacksmiths, teachers, and traders became soldiers.
00:53Families were torn apart, but the dream of freedom kept them going.
00:59Then came July 4th, 1776, when bold men signed a document that declared,
01:05in ink and courage,
01:06we are no longer colonies, we are a nation.
01:10The fight was long, brutal, and costly.
01:14But in 1781, Yuan, against all odds,
01:17the American colonists defeated the world's strongest empire.
01:19The United States of America was born not just through war,
01:25but through the unshakable belief that all people deserve freedom,
01:28and that power belongs to the people.
01:32This wasn't just a revolution of guns,
01:34it was a revolution of ideas.
01:36An idea that still echoes today,
01:38every time someone stands up and says,
01:40we want our rights.
01:43That's the story of how a small group of dreamers
01:45changed the course of history,
01:47and created a nation built on liberty.
