This episode chronicles the defeat of the patriots at Bunker Hill and examines how the Continental Congress turned to a Virginia aristocrat named Washington to lead an army short on men and ammunition, and traces the growing momentum of rebellion, spurred by Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" and Washington's leadership, that led to the signing of Jefferson's document on July 4, 1776.
