It covers the history of Magna Carta; the English Bill of Rights; the French and Indian War; the Declaration of Independence, and the Revolutionary War; the French Revolution and Napoleon; the War of 1812, and right up to Independence Day today.

Fasten your saddles and seat belts. This is going to be quite a ride.
