En 1750, les treize colonies sont complètement désunies. Les grands propriétaires terriens de sud s'opposent aux paysans du nord, ceux qui vivent à la frontière aux marchands de la côte. Mais Benjamin Franklin, un homme de lettres, inventeur et scientifique, va essayer de réunir, ces colons que tout oppose, alors que l'Angleterre établit de nouvelles taxes aux colonies.

00:00America, let's cross the Atlantic, here are the Americas
00:06Everything was once like this in the Americas; that's the story I'm going to tell you.
00:12From Siberia to the Pacific, ancient people began to walk
00:19They carved oceans, they crossed continents
00:26Pursuing their dream of freedom
00:33The adventure was sometimes dramatic, often it was the end of the heroes
00:40It's not easy, but it's magical to make a brand new, beautiful watch
00:47All of them took up the torch for a time, going further, going higher.
00:53And their dream of their reality
01:00The Americas are here now, the Americas, just as you imagined them.
01:07It's up to you to create this fantastic world, the one we've all dreamed of one day.
01:13May everything work together, to reach the end of destiny.
01:21On this earth without hope
01:27A land of brotherhood
01:37William Pitt, the renowned English bulldozer, made the necessary effort to ensure that the French were definitively driven out of the
01:43territories of America
01:44Ironically, it would only take a few more years for the English to be driven out.
01:49their turn
01:50See the 13 colonies
01:51What is it? What do we want here? Huh?
01:53What is it? Oh, right, in Georgia
01:55Are you saying I didn't mention Georgia?
01:58But yes, let's see
01:59Remember, it was in 1733 that General Oglethorpe, an idealist
02:03He landed there with about a hundred men who were in debt prison
02:07And Lutherans, Waldensians, Scots, Jews, and even women
02:11He will found Savanna with them
02:17Here, each of us will have to work with our own hands.
02:20There will be no slaves, nor alcohol
02:23In truth, a few years later
02:37At that time, there were one and a half million Europeans on American soil.
02:41But this population will now begin to double approximately every 20 years.
02:45Cities? Only a few ports deserve that name.
02:48Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Charleston
02:54Everything else is just agglomeration
02:59There are also 300,000 Black slaves in the South, especially
03:02Who were supposed to become free after 6 or 7 years
03:05But things didn't always go that way.
03:10But come on, boss, I've been working for you for 15 years
03:13I should have been free a long time ago
03:16That's really not fair, boss
03:18But my good man, what would become of you without my help?
03:20You would be forced to leave your home and your family permanently.
03:23Here, at least you have a place to stay, food, love, and finally, peace and quiet.
03:26And you know you cost me at least a pound a year in clothes and food
03:32No, no, no, believe me, you'd be much better off staying a slave with us.
03:35Yes, it's a good house, Clannot
03:39So Tom, don't you think you've made people laugh enough already?
03:42Get back to work, come on, come on
03:44What are you waiting for at work, you lazy bum?
03:47Yes indeed, those black slaves were practical.
03:50To do the hard work of tobacco or cotton plantations
03:53Because the Indians, those freedom fanatics
03:56They lack a certain docility when one tries to train them.
04:00Between these rebellious Indians, these black slaves
04:03The America of the thirteen colonies is searching for its reality, its measure
04:06But it doesn't always come without excess.
04:08Thus held the preachers, lamenting the lost purity of the first pilgrims.
04:11Don't forget that Judgment Day is fast approaching.
04:14You are all, without exception, sinners in the hands of angry Indians.
04:18And I will now describe them to you in detail.
04:20The horrors that hell has in store for you
04:26Know this: there will be no redemption, no remission.
04:28For those who have transgressed the word of the Lord
04:31Repent, repent!
04:33In hell, you wretches, you will all burn in hell
04:36Sinner, repent, repent before it is too late
04:39Think about what lies ahead and pray.
04:41Throw these wigs, these kisses, these clothes into the fire
04:44Throw these clothes into the fire
04:45Throw into the purifying fire
04:47All these empty attributes of Satan
04:48You are all damned, damned, damned
05:01Yes, believe me, my brothers, you are all damned, damned, damned, damned
05:05So, refer back, refer back
05:09In any case, the explosion of this great awakening faded very quickly.
05:12Fortunately, indeed, a few reasonable voices had been heard.
05:16Benjamin Franklin's, for example
05:18If I believe in the existence of God and the immortality of the soul
05:21My reason tells me that I have no need of revelation.
05:27I don't know why, but he vaguely reminds me of someone
05:34Here, then, we encounter the best and the worst of this mid-18th century America.
05:38The country is still too new and must go through the crucible that forms a nation.
05:46For now, what do these wealthy Southern settlers have in common?
05:50In a thousand or a hundred thousand hectares of land
05:54And this humble farmer from the North has everything to do, everything to invent
05:58Above all, don't forget to cut some boards to repair the roof.
06:00Yes, Marie, and you, you'll be thinking about smoking bacon.
06:03And add water to the beer from time to time.
06:05Understood, count on me, John
06:06And the cart, John, the wheel needs fixing and don't forget to shoe the horse
06:10Yes, I know, Marie, the animals are not doing well
06:12Perhaps we should feed them better
06:13Of course, John, and while he's at it, bring back some more fodder.
06:17Yes, Marie, remember to prepare the leather for my new shoes too.
06:21And there's my wool jacket; it would be great if you could finish it.
06:23The evenings are getting cool.
06:26We would need wood for cooking; it would heat the house.
06:29Yes, from the master to the bravo, we looked like the master of the bravo.
06:34I want to crawl it with two people
06:35Let us thank the Lord for all his blessings
06:38Yes, John, you are right, let us thank the Lord for his blessings.
06:42But what could the artisans of the center possibly have in common?
06:51Merchants or traders
06:54Or those on the frontier, the clearers, the pioneers
06:57Or, quite often, simply adventurers
07:22However, some men will try to unify all these divergent interests.
07:26Especially one of them, though I'm sure I know that one, what is it
07:30I was saying?
07:31Yes, look, in Albania, precisely, in the year 1754
07:34It is essential that we adopt a common policy towards Indians.
07:38We must build our forts together, we must organize our own defense
07:42But Mr. Franklin, the English troops are defending us very well.
07:45It's possible, gentlemen, but in this way, we remain divided.
07:47Like this snake in pieces, it cannot live like this
07:51And we too, if we don't unite, we must do it.
07:54Unite, unite, but who to what? We can only speak of things from the same space
07:57I'm a Virginian, I don't see at all what I have to do with...
08:01people of New England
08:02No, that's a crazy idea.
08:03And we, who continually live in peace with the Lord, what do you want us to do?
08:08In the company of these slave traders or even these unscrupulous merchants?
08:11We must unite against the Indians, you say; the Indian problem isn't that important.
08:15I'm telling you, I'm a man of the frontiers, trust me
08:31Welcome, Chief Prospatuc
08:33We, your friends, will give you beautiful things in exchange for these skins
08:37Against this nonsense, we lent you our hour
08:39But now we can no longer hunt there.
08:42These things don't interest us.
08:44We need fire sticks to hunt further.
08:46If you don't give us any, we'll go see the French with our beautiful furs.
08:50Okay, okay, next time we'll bring you guns.
08:53You're asking us for rifles, but in the meantime, here
08:55Drink some brandy that warms the hearts of the brave.
08:59Drink up on friendship, great chief
09:11But you're firewater, that's
09:18Don't get all high and mighty, you can still drink some more.
09:27So you give me more firewater and you take all of that
09:30He's a great chef
09:59Ah, there we go!
10:26Unless we give them a good thrashing
10:29I don't think we'll ever be able to live in peace with these red devils.
10:32I agree, they don't respect the agreements made; they're so savage and they're all treacherous.
10:36I've heard they're always completely drunk when they make deals
10:40Is that true?
10:41Ah yes, exactly.
10:42How can you trust them?
10:44Indeed, you say, it is we who intoxicate them in this way.
10:47Who gives them alcohol to make them accept anything?
10:50Who is it, tell me?
10:52Me, I have...
10:54But Providence willed that we should settle here
10:57If the Indians want to oppose these plans
10:58We must push them back beyond the lands that have been allocated to us.
11:01Blessed be Providence, my brothers
11:05What a superb doctrine, one that allows you to massacre human beings!
11:08Whose men are worth just as much as their names
11:10Yes, he's right.
11:11Moreover, it is the same doctrine that allows you to enrich yourself through the labor of black slaves on
11:16their backs
11:16Because of their poverty
11:17That's not true
11:18That's not true
11:18That's not true
11:19It's not time at all
11:20That's huge
11:22It is true that war waged against others to appropriate their property is pillage and
11:26flight
11:26It is true that commerce is generally based on deception.
11:30Only cultivating the land is virtuous, positive, honest, and above all, blessed by God.
11:34Yes, I told you, back then you could find the worst among all those Americans, and also
11:38the best
11:38But Franklin, this jack-of-all-trades, also had other passions besides politics and philosophy.
12:05Yes, lightning is electricity, and I'm going to prove it.
12:11Well, father, are you jogging in the rain now?
12:15I'm going to do a pivotal experiment, pivotal, you hear?
12:19Besides, you're coming with me.
12:22That way you can help me
12:28It's a strange kind of weather to be flying a kite.
12:33You'll see, son, you'll see, you're witnessing a fantastic experience.
12:40Wait for me
12:46Please hold this, but be careful, don't let go!
12:52Dad, why don't you have a key with you? What's it for?
12:55The key is iron, and since iron attracts electricity, son, you'll see what you
12:59go see
13:04But you never know, back off a little anyway, son.
13:10You'll see, you'll see, we're going to have a lot of fun.
13:18Oh dear, it's okay, Dad, Dad
13:23Dad
13:25Dad
13:26Are you alive?
13:30You see, son, I was right, lightning really is electricity.
13:33Electricity
13:35And electricity is attracted to iron
13:37Isn't that wonderful?
13:421763
13:43The French have just abandoned their possession of America to the English.
13:52Hello Mrs. Reverre, hello Paul
13:54How's the engraving going?
13:57Hello Franclins, father and son, it's working, it's working, isn't it, dear Benjamin?
14:00Oh, your invention is very practical!
14:03So, instead of hitting my house, the lightning just gets lost in the ground, it's funny.
14:08Clever, and it also prevents you from being struck by lightning.
14:09Goodbye and thank you again
14:16Small, small, small
14:22Petition, stop
14:25Hey there, my good man, don't you know that it's forbidden to make hats?
14:29Hey, what? Is that forbidden? How is that forbidden? Are you kidding me?
14:33Whereas the mysterious art of hat making has now reached its point in the United Kingdom
14:38perfection
14:38It is now forbidden to undertake
14:41Similar manufacturing
14:43Outside the national territory
14:44And this is especially true in America.
14:46Any offender will be punished
14:48I hope that's clear, so don't let me catch you doing that again, my good man.
14:51Ah well, good, good, good
14:53Well, that's something, that's a first for me, that's the first time I've heard of that
14:57Oh, don't worry, we're not going to let them get away with it.
15:01Stop! I want to know what you have in those bags, sir.
15:06Nothing sugar-coated, Mr. Poster, why are you asking me that?
15:09Is he from England?
15:11Of course not, nobody makes sugar in England
15:14In that case, it means he comes from the West Indies, admit it!
15:17Well, you know, I don't know anything about it, for me it's just sugar
15:19I'm confiscating your shipment of sugar, that's contraband!
15:22Get down from there!
15:23Well, what was I going to say anyway?
15:25Oh, that's not true, that's not true!
15:30They're even taking the cart, but what's going to happen to me now?
15:41U-turn!
15:44Towers, I say turn around!
15:47Well, now they're also imposing taxes on glass, paper, lead, and paint.
15:50But what will they come up with next to squeeze us dry?
15:53Those wretched English!
15:54Yes, I've been told that our pioneers were turned back by the defenses preventing them from going west, apparently.
15:58!
15:58Do you realize?
15:59Well, that's unfair!
16:02Listen, this time the cup is overflowing, my friends, listen for a moment, it's unbelievable!
16:05From this day forward, residents of the 13 colonies will be required to purchase and affix a stamp to newspapers,
16:10almanacs, maritime documents, playing cards, dice, etc.
16:13Oh, is it about dice?
16:14Yes, dice, you heard right!
16:15And there are 50 of them on the list, I mean 50, but they're completely crazy!
16:19On the dice?
16:20No, we will not pay taxes that our representatives did not vote on!
16:23Yes, no tax on a performance!
16:25Oh no, there's a question!
16:28So…
16:28No tax!
16:31No performance without representation!
16:33Go for it !
16:34No performance without representation!
16:54Leaf !
17:07I am Thomas Hutchinson, Governor of Boston.
17:10You are ordered to pay a tax of three pence per pound of tea carried where I confiscate the cargo.
17:15Although the company ordered me to transport the tea, I never actually paid for it.
17:19taxes.
17:20You refuse?
17:21We, the sons of liberty, oppose the payment of this cynical tax.
17:25You are kindly requested to keep your opinions to yourself, Mr. Sam Adams, understood, as a representative of the Crown.
17:31I maintain that this ship will have to pay the taxes stipulated by law.
17:36Well, that's what we're going to see.
17:56The crown la la la la la la la la.
18:04The crown la la la la la la la.
18:22Well there you go, with this one, that makes 341 crates.
18:25For which no taxes will be paid.
18:32And with that one, that makes 342.
18:35Let's go.
18:45And in the morning, as a few crates were still floating...
18:50The die is cast now.
18:52The colonies will have to submit or defeat me.
18:54Is that clear?
18:55And this is the present subject of His Majesty George III.
18:58We were fighting over a prize worth 12,000 pounds sterling.
19:01This is open rebellion.
19:02We cannot tolerate such blatant disregard for an order of...
19:05Let's close the port of Boston, let's order our troops to search it
19:09to unmask the rebels and have them arrested.
19:11Yes, and as soon as that's done, send them to us.
19:13We will immediately take care of judging them.
19:15Yes, absolutely.
19:16The crown has shown an intolerable injustice towards all of us.
19:20And...
19:20Gentlemen, I am Patrick Henry from Virginia,
19:22But I maintain that there is no longer any distinction between New York, Pennsylvania, and New England.
19:27We are all Americans.
19:28We must unite to fight against the redcoats.
19:32Gentlemen, here is the resolution that is submitted to our assembly.
19:34According to the eternal laws of nature, men have a right to life, to liberty, to the
19:38property.
19:39They have never ceded to a sovereign the power to dispose of them without their consent.
19:45I knew that sooner or later, we would eventually succeed and reunite all the pieces of the snake.
19:51The English are very agitated.
19:53We must be prepared for anything.
19:54That is why we will train men ready to fight within a minute, at the slightest alert.
19:58And we will call them the Minutemen.
20:00Paul, you will be responsible for their training.
20:03We're counting on you.
20:05Day and night, at home or at work, you must be ready to answer our call in one
20:09Minute, no more.
20:10That's why your rifles should always be loaded.
20:16My dearest Suzy, I would very much like to ask you a favor.
20:21Do you think this is the right time for that? What exactly do you want, my friend?
20:24There you go, I need to be pre-dressed and armed in one minute.
20:26Tonight, wake me up and tell me you have a minute.
20:28But that's all it takes.
20:31All right ?
20:34What is it?
20:35One minute, one minute.
20:54Oh, I'm ready and now I need my rifle.
21:25I have everything now. The rifle even powdered the bullets.
21:29And how was it for the minute?
21:30I would have had time to cook two eggs one after the other.
21:34Two times three minutes makes six minutes, my friend.
21:37I think I'd be better off sleeping fully clothed in my armchair.
22:05So, is that enough for the minute? Was I too long?
22:07It took you a little over a minute, but that'll do this time. It was only a
22:10exercise.
22:11Yes, are you sure it was just a drill? Can I go back to bed?
22:30There we are, near Lexington, Major Pitcairn. It's an excellent idea to attack their depot of
22:35Concorde. I think they won't forget the lesson we're about to teach them anytime soon.
22:38Give no credit, my dear Henri. These rebels are nothing but paper tigers.
22:43Look, General Gage was telling me the other day, speaking about them.
22:46They are lions as long as we behave like sheep, but this time, they will quickly become
22:51lambs.
22:51Hi, hi, hi, hi.
23:03There they are, the English are here, Paul. They're in the marshes, there are many of them.
23:06We heard them, they want to go and destroy all our Concorde depots.
23:10William Dose ran to warn all the men from Boston-Nex to Lexington.
23:14I'm going to take a canoe, I'm going to head straight to Charleston and from there I'll warn the others.
23:17We'll show them what we're made of. We won't let them get away with it.
23:30Alert! Quick! Quick! The English are coming! We're all going to Lexington! Hurry!
23:36To Lexington! Quick!
23:42The English have arrived! We're going to Lexington! Quick!
23:52La-la-la-la!
23:53La-la-la-la! La-la-la! I love to sing!
23:55Here I am, Seb, it didn't take more than a second.
23:58Come on, Lexington! Quick! The English are coming!
24:01La-la-la-la-la! La-la-la-la! La-la-la-la! La-la-la-la! La-la-la!
24:20La-la-la!
24:22Otherwise, you are dead men.
24:24Listen to me, don't shoot first.
24:26If they want war, let it start right here.
24:37Oh! Oh dear!
24:39But shoot, for God's sake!
24:40What are you waiting for? Shoot!
24:56What miserable foot soldiers, let me laugh.
24:59We'll sweep them all away, we'll make mincemeat.
25:02Regiment forward, march on Concorde!
25:11I forgot my sachets of powder, can you give me some?
25:15Hold.
25:38The war has begun.
25:40There is no question of paying for peace with the price of the chains of our slavery.
25:43Almighty God, grant us victory.
25:45We would rather die free than live on our knees.
25:47Yes, Patrick Henry was right.
25:48The English didn't know that yet.
25:50But eight years of a deadly war had just begun.
25:54America
25:56Franchisees are expected
26:00These are the Americas
26:02From the North to the Pacific
26:07These are the Americas
26:08Once Upon a Time in the Americas
26:11This is the story I told you.
26:14Once Upon a Time in the Americas
26:20These are the Americas
26:20These are the Americas
