I'm watching the second hour of a 1997 six-hour PBS series titled "Liberty: The American Revolution". It's a good recap of events beginning just before the Stamp Act in 1766 and will end after the ratification of the Constitution.
For those interested in the American Revolution, another great online series is from the Yale Open Courses series. It includes downloadable audio, video and reading material (on the ITunes U). I enjoyed listening to it as I did yard work several summers ago.

Does anyone have favorite online courses?
