The Founding of Our Nation

Beneath the polished tale of liberty and rebellion lies a version of America’s origins that rarely makes the history books. We’re taught to view the American Revolution as a pure fight for freedom, yet behind the rallying cries and iconic moments was a quiet alliance, an influential network of wealthy traders, underground operators, and fiery political voices who guided the colonies toward breaking away.

This documentary-style deep dive pulls back the curtain on the hidden agreements, backroom conversations, and economic pressures that helped ignite the Revolution. From John Hancock’s lucrative smuggling operations to the financial motivations behind the Boston Tea Party, and even the covert early outreach to France, this is the story of how private ambition intertwined with public ideals to set a global turning point in motion.

If you’ve only heard the patriotic, classroom version of events, get ready to explore the side that’s far less celebrated—the part history tends to leave in the dark. This isn’t just a chronicle of battles and famous signatures; it’s a tale of wealth, influence, and the secret forces that helped launch the American Revolution.
