Kelsey Grammer's Historic Battles for America

Over a year before the Declaration of Independence, America is born at Bunker Hill. The first major battle of the Revolution will also be its bloodiest. The Battle was named for a location it didn't happen and began a war that never should have been won.

As British warships fill New York harbor, Gen. George Washington rallies his ragtag Continental Army for the biggest battle of the Revolution. With his men backed into a corner on Brooklyn Heights, it will take a miracle not to win, but to survive.

In 1836, American settlers in Mexican Texas take over a former mission in defiance of the government, and for weeks endure a siege by Mexican forces. A nighttime assault earns these vastly outnumbered Texian rebels a spot in American lore.

Two years into the Civil War, the Union is losing the fight and desperately needs a victory to stop Gen. Robert E. Lee's push North. Near Sharpsburg, Maryland, Union troops take a stand in a battle that could save America... or end it for good.
