    I like that they showed Dickinson in uniform and on horseback.
    He didn't support Independence, but he did put his life on the line for it when it became a fact.

      He was arguably also one of the wealthiest individuals in the colonies. He had so much to lose, and did not agree with the pace of declaring Revolution, but the moment his countrymen committed themselves to that decision, he was immediately there to back them up, at the risk of his own life and fortune.

    A great moment in history that deserves to be remembered. It is well served in that, by how this marvellous TV series portrays events and the great characters behind them.

    HBO needs to re-broadcast this series.
    I believe it would help modern Americans understand our country much better.
    The courage of them all astounds me all the time.
    They would have been tried for treason and executed if they failed.

    It wasn't "god" who saved our American states. It was the French (who now are scoffed at by imbeciles as 'surrenderers', thanks to WWII). Thank you, France. We'll always owe you big time!

    Dont thank France. Thank Austria or Prussia. Without one of them distracting France, Britain had to keep significant forces at home to defend against Franco-Spanish invasion. Because Britain was only a naval power with 10 million people. It needed a continental power to do most of the dying in Europe.
