Gambles & Glory: Washington and the Revolutionary War | The American Story | Ep 7

The American Revolution teeters on the edge of collapse before roaring back to life with Washington’s daring crossing of the Delaware River and a Christmas surprise attack at Trenton. Experience the heartbreak of Brandywine, the comeback at Saratoga, the frozen crucible of Valley Forge, and the global shakeup triggered by a French alliance. Along the way, Benedict Arnold betrays a nation, an enslaved double-spy helps alter the course of history, and a cornered British army walks into a trap that will upend an empire. This is the epic story of America’s brutal fight for independence and the raw resilience that forged a nation. GLENN'S SPONSORS: Chapter: When it comes to Medicare, Chapter puts you first.
