How did George Washington survive the internal plots, mutinies, and betrayals that nearly ended the American Revolution? In this full episode of "The Revolution," we follow Washington’s high-stakes journey from the winter camp at Valley Forge to his historic inauguration as the first President of the United States. Explore the military strategy and personal resilience required to turn a "rag-tag" Continental Army into a professional fighting force under the guidance of Baron von Steuben. We dive deep into the infamous Battle of Monmouth, where Washington faced off against both the British and his own treacherous second-in-command, Charles Lee. Witness the ultimate betrayal by Benedict Arnold at West Point and the brutal Morristown winters that tested the army's loyalty to the breaking point. From the Siege of Yorktown to the final swearing-in at Federal Hall, this is the definitive history of how a general became a legend.
