1776 Minute

Presented by The Watertown Post

Two hundred and fifty years ago, America’s fight for independence unfolded one week at a time.

The Revolutionary War Minute brings that story back—exactly as it happened—week by week, 250 years later. In just 60 seconds, we highlight the key moments, decisions, and turning points that shaped the birth of a nation.

For those who remember the Bicentennial, the story is familiar. For a new generation, the Quintennial is something entirely new.

This series is our contribution—our way of making sure these moments aren’t forgotten.
