Worlds Turned Upside Down
“Worlds Turned Upside Down” tells the story of the American Revolution as a transatlantic crisis and as a Civil War through the lives of people who experienced it. For many modern citizens of the United States, ‘the cause of America’ that gave birth to a new nation in 1776 and the heroic stories we tell ourselves about its founding remains ‘in great measure the cause of all mankind.’ But for the people who lived through it, the revolutionary era upended their lives in ways they could have never imagined.

A Short History Of….The Founding Fathers (One Episode)
The founding of the United States on July 4th, 1776, changed the world, and inspired other colonies to control their own destinies. The men responsible for writing and signing the Declaration of Independence – the Founding Fathers – have gone down in history as legends, with an almost ‘God-like status’. But nearly 250 years on, their legacy is challenged at times. So who were the founding fathers? How did their talents, ideas and flaws shape their nation? And how do the choices they made in the 18th century still affect the world today?
Written by Kate Harrison. With thanks to Dr Lindsay M Chervinsky, a presidential historian, and author of The Cabinet: George Washingon and the Creation of an American Institution.
