I've used this video before in previous blogs, but I just had to come back to it. There is not one other video that can really bring you into their time. It starts of with a quote from Thomas Jefferson.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
The music starts to pick up and it shows what life was like before the acts. It goes on like a timeline in pictures of what happened next. It shows the acts being put up and patriots reaction to it. It shows The Boston tea party and the Boston massacre. Then we see war break out. Battle after battle. Ship battles, fist battles, reenactments, clip after clip, photo after photo. It's like non-stop action even when most of the video isn't moving.
